## What is GuitarFriend?

GuitarFriend is the practice companion that covers everything you need in one place — from the moment you pick up your guitar to the last song of the night.                                             
                                                                                                                                                                                                           
  CHROMATIC TUNER                                                                                                                                                                                          
  Hear a note and see it instantly. The needle gauge shows you exactly how many cents sharp or flat you are, with color-coded feedback so you're always in tune. Select individual strings for quick reference, and use it in portrait or landscape — whichever fits your setup.                                                                                                                              
                  
  CHORD LIBRARY                                                                                                                                                                                            
  Browse hundreds of chord diagrams and find the voicing that fits your hand. Tap the mic to let GuitarFriend listen and identify chords in real time — it even figures out the key and tempo of what you're playing.                                                                                                                                                                                          
  
  METRONOME                                                                                                                                                                                                
  Keep steady time with a clean, distraction-free metronome. Practice at any tempo and build muscle memory that sticks.
                                                                                                                                                                                                           
  SONG BOOK
  Write down your chord charts and save them for later. Organize your repertoire, pull up songs at a gig, and never lose a chord sheet again.                                                              
                                                                                                                                                                                               
  Designed for guitarists of all levels. No subscription. No clutter. Just the tools you need.

### 2.0 — 2026-04-09

This update brings a fully redesigned interface and a wave of new features.                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                                                                           
  REDESIGNED FROM THE GROUND UP
  Every screen has been rebuilt with a cleaner, more focused dark-mode design — less clutter, faster to navigate, and easier to read on stage or in a dim practice room.                                   
                                                                                                                                                                                                           
  NEW: CHORD RECOGNITION
  Tap the mic and GuitarFriend listens to what you're playing. It identifies chords in real time, locks in the key, and estimates your tempo — all at once.                                                
                                                                                                                                                                                                           
  NEW: LANDSCAPE MODE                                                                                                                                                                                      
  Rotate your device and the Tuner adapts to a side-by-side layout, giving you more room when your phone is propped up on a stand.                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                           
  NEW: BACKGROUND AUDIO
  Keep the metronome running while you switch apps. Enable it in Settings so your tempo never drops out mid-practice.
