## What is Rukus?

Rukus is your new daily guitar trainer. Just chords coming at you.

Rukus has banner ads and an occasional pop up. No subscription. No paywall gimmick. No fluff.

You’ve got three ways to play:

Curated Decks – chaos
(chords organized by difficulty or style, then shuffled at random)

Playlist – order
(build progressions and practice them in sequence, like a song)

Custom – a bit of both
(hand-pick your chords, then shuffle for variety)

Chords flash at random to sharpen reflexes, train muscle memory, and build real fretboard fluency. Stay on beat with a built in metronome. 

Whether you’re warming up, leveling up, or zoning out, Rukus meets you where you’re at.

New? Dare to suck.
Seasoned? Find a new rhythm. Write a new song.

Whatever your level—pick it up.

--------------------------------------

This app was built between breastfeeding sessions, baby naps, and with lots of love. I originally designed this for my own daily use brush up on my practice because I forgot most of what I memorized while pregnant.

As you may know, there are many variations per chord. I simplified it to one or two of the most common chords I could find. Since I’m new to both guitar  playing and app development, I'm open to feedback. I built the thing, so, if you catch an error... please email me. 

I hope Rukus helps you learn.
And if you’re already learned, I hope it helps you create, or teach.

Thanks for being here.

### 5/5 — Great tool for beginners

*2025-08-25*

I wish this was available when I was teaching myself guitar. Learning chords and practicing switching to different chords to form the muscle memory can be a challenge for beginners. I found the best way was to try to switch between random chords without looking at my hand. This app gives you those randomized chords and the tabs for each chord. You can adjust the timer to give you more or less time on each chord. This is an a+ learning tool for beginner guitarists and if you are starting to learn guitar, I highly recommend this app
