## What is Open?

OpenShape is a chord and tuning tool for guitarists who go beyond standard tuning.
Pick any tuning — DADGAD, Drop D, Open G, or a fully custom one — and OpenShape finds real, playable chord voicings across the whole fretboard, not just generic shapes. Add a capo and it recalculates instantly. Every note you hear is a real recorded acoustic guitar sample, not a synthesized tone.
Features:
• Exact chord voicings for any tuning, any capo position
• Unlimited custom tunings (Pro)
• Build and save chord progressions, with playback
• Built-in microphone tuner
• Real acoustic guitar audio for every chord
• Dark mode
• No account required, no ads
Free includes standard tunings, the tuner, and up to 3 saved progressions. OpenShape Pro ($9.99 one-time) unlocks unlimited custom tunings and unlimited saved progressions — no subscription.

New: a steel-string guitar sound, right alongside classical — pick whichever fits the song from Settings.

Tuner improvements: clearer controls when building a custom tuning by ear, and a fix for a spot where you could get stuck without a way to back out.
