Clone Hero Chart Manager
A free desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux that finds charts on
RhythmVerse and
Chorus Encore, lets you hear them before you download, installs
them straight into your Clone Hero or YARG Songs folder, and keeps that folder in order.
Everything it needs is bundled in the installer.
What it does
Also included:
- Rock Band conversion. Xbox 360 CON and
.rb3con charts are converted to Clone Hero
format while they download (bundled Onyx). Drag and
drop works too, for .zip, .rar, .7z, .sng and CON files.
- Fast, offline-first catalog. A local index of both databases ships with the app and
updates in the background, so browsing and every filter respond instantly.
- Music player. Listen to any folder or setlist with the real song audio, at an even
volume.
- Game launcher. Start Clone Hero or YARG from the sidebar and jump back with a global
hotkey. An optional hotkey reminder can float over the game.
- Many download hosts. Google Drive, Mediafire, Dropbox, link shorteners and direct
links. MEGA and other manual hosts open in your browser.
Install
| Platform | File | Notes |
|---|
| Windows | CHM-Setup-<version>.exe | Installer with automatic updates. |
| Windows | CHM-Portable-<version>.exe | No install, runs from anywhere. |
| macOS | CHM-<version>-mac-arm64.dmg | Unsigned: the first launch needs right-click, then Open. Onyx needs Rosetta 2 (softwareupdate --install-rosetta). |
| Linux | CHM-<version>-linux-x86_64.AppImage | chmod +x and run. |
Get them from the latest release
or the website. On first launch the app finds your
Songs folder and games where it can; otherwise Settings opens and you point it at the
Songs folder once.
After a download, open Settings, then Scan Songs in Clone Hero to see the new charts.
Building from source is described in docs/building.md.
