## What is Fretica?

Fretica is the essential music companion for guitarists, bassists, and ukulele players. Clean, precise, and distraction-free — everything you need in one app.

IS THIS FOR ME?

Fretica is designed for:
- beginners discovering an instrument and playing their first chords;
- experienced musicians switching styles — from metal to jazz, for example — and exploring new chords;
- Hawaiian, country, or alternative musicians who play in open tunings and need to navigate a wide variety of different tunings.

TUNER
Chromatic and instrument-specific tuning. Fretica optimizes its pitch detection for each instrument for faster, more accurate results. Long press to activate Live mode for instant response while playing.

METRONOME
Clean and reliable, with adjustable tempo and time signature. Tap the display to set your tempo on the fly.

CHORD LIBRARY
Browse and search over 500 chords for guitar, ukulele, and bass — each with an optimized fingering diagram. Create your own instruments with custom string counts and tunings (Tenor Guitar, Open G, and more), and Fretica will generate adapted fingerings automatically. Save your favourites directly to your home screen widget.

CHORD DETECTOR
Play a chord and let Fretica identify it in real time, string by string. Colour-coded diagrams help you visualise the chord structure at a glance.

WIDGET
Keep a chord diagram on your home screen or lock screen — a great way to review fingerings between practice sessions, without even opening the app.
