What's New in Guitar Codex

1.0.3

September 27, 2026

Chord Finder. Did you just play a chord that sounded awesome and you have absolutely no idea what it's called? That's exactly why I built the Chord Finder. Tap the frets on a blank fretboard and watch the chord names appear, or use it to see how chords are built. Also new: an introduction that shows you around the app the first time you open it, a redesigned Home screen, and a fix so a fresh install gets the latest updates right away.

User reviews

Very Good for Beginners

I have learned a lot of basics for the guitar. I have now graduated and advanced to some of the more complicated things! Also capitalized titles.

So helpful!

I have been looking for an app that could give me everything I needed in one place. I even find myself using the features I didn’t think I would, like the metronome. I really appreciate the intuitive layouts for all the chord variations up and down the neck.

Everything you need in one place

I’m always going online and either watching YouTube or looking for chords for a song to learn, and these days, the sites don’t have the actual tabs for the chords. Now I can just use this app to figure out the exact fingering for any song I need. Plus, since I was never formally trained, I can learn some fundamentals while I’m here. Been helpful for me!
