Pick it up
and play.

Best on a big screen

A fretboard is six strings across twelve frets. It needs room to stay readable, so we'd rather say so up front than have you squint at it.

Recommended

Desktop & laptop. Everything at full size. Voice commands and MIDI work here too.

Works well

Tablet. The full fretboard fits comfortably. Prop it on a music stand and play.

Limited

Phone. It loads, but the fretboard is wider than the screen. We're working on it.

Why is this free?

We build workflow automation for a living, over at Work·Studio. This isn't that. We play, we wanted better practice tools, so we built them — and there's no good reason to charge you for a metronome and a fretboard.

No account, no upsell, no plan you'll eventually hit. If it's useful, pick up your instrument more often. That's the whole exchange.

Prefer a real app?

The desktop build runs without a browser and without a network. Or open the web version and use your browser's Install button — it works offline either way.

The Windows installer is code-signed. The macOS build isn't, so Gatekeeper will warn on first launch. The browser version needs no install and does everything the desktop one does.

Get in touch
