Performance Mode

Hands-free scrolling at your pace

Tap any text field — lyrics, chords, or notes — into full-screen mode and let auto-scroll do the work. Adjust the scroll speed from 0.25x to 4x to match your tempo, and hit play. Song Hive scrolls steadily through the content so your hands stay on your instrument. Need to jump ahead? Just swipe — auto-scroll pauses while you navigate and picks back up when you let go.

Text sized for the stage

Pinch to zoom the text from 8pt to 40pt so it's readable whether your phone is on a music stand across the room or in your hand at a campfire. Each content tab remembers its own font size, so your chords can stay large while your personal notes stay compact. You can also set a global default font size in Settings.

Combined with the "Keep Screen Awake" option in Settings, performance mode turns your phone into a dedicated teleprompter — no taps needed once you press play.
