Ukulele Notepad helps you easily and quickly jot down song ideas in guitar tab, save them to the cloud and email them to band mates. I created this app as I found that when playing around with ideas on my own, or after a jam session, I was still using paper to jot down ideas. I have tried some of the other tab writing apps out there but none of them used the touch screen like a guitar fret board which really speeds things up. I'm keen to make this app as useful as possible so please feel free to contact me if you want any new features added. Create and Edit Tab: - Edit song details like title, artist, transcribed by and tempo - Add time signatures, lyrics and performance notes - Add chords, strum patterns and lyrics above your tabbed notes (no other apps I've seen support this!) - Add any number of strings and custom tunings including 4,5,6 and 7 string guitars/bass guitars - Use touch screen to quickly add notes with a single tap - Choose from common chord patterns to save time - Add techniques likes slides, hammer ons, pull offs muted notes, harmonics, tremolo, vibrato, ghosts/ties, tapping and more - Backspace as well as delete button for faster editing - Cut, copy and paste sections of tab, even between different songs - Undo button - the last 10 actions are recorded and can be undone - Continuous chord mode - saves having to perform an extra tap to start adding chords - Option to view notes on the fret board - Supports repeated bar notation - Tab Playback (no note modulation for now) - Can change guitar neck to left handed view - Supports note lengths from whole notes to 1/64, dotted notes and triplets - Add a capo View, Export and Share: - Export to PDF or text - Transpose songs up and down - Organize songs by artists or use tags to create albums and setlists - Use autoscroll to view tabs and play along - Layout optimised for both tablets and phones - Zoom in and out depending on your screen size - Print from device - Save songs to file in your cloud storage like Dropbox, or export via email. - Ability to perform a full backup and restore - useful if you are switching devices - Import songs shared from other people's Guitar Notepad apps - View and search through your songs by title, artist name or last modified time

Jamroom turns long rehearsal recordings into the songs you actually played. Drop in a recording from your phone, a dedicated recorder, or a board mix. Scrub through it by eye or by ear. Drop markers, label the sections, and export clean tracks ready for the group chat. Built for the way bands actually rehearse Most rehearsals are 70% music, 30% "That Thing You Do" quotes. Jamroom is built around that reality. Mark each section as a song, banter, or junk. When you export, the noise stays behind. See the songs, mark the songs A rehearsal recording has a shape and Jamroom lets you see it. Songs look like songs. Banter looks like banter. The dead air between takes is obvious. Jamroom shows you a clean waveform of the whole session, so you can spot where each tune starts and ends and drop a marker right on the downbeat - usually without even pressing play. When you do need to confirm a boundary, zoom in and scrub the waveform with your finger and the audio plays at finger speed: slow drag, slow playback; quick drag, fast-forward at pitch. It's the precision tool for the few spots the eye can't quite call. Mark it. Name it. Done. - Drop markers anywhere on the waveform - Auto-split into sections you can name and reorder- Tag each section as Song, Banter, or Junk- Lock the session when you're happy with the cuts Export the way you want - One song per file, or one full "cleaned rehearsal" with all the junk gone - Configurable crossfades between segments - Filename templates: band name, venue, date, track number, song title, length. You pick the order - .m4a output, AirDrop or share-sheet anywhere What it isn't Jamroom isn't a DAW. There's no multitrack, no plugins, no mixing. It's the missing step between "we recorded practice" and "here are the takes worth keeping." Privacy Your recordings stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded. Jamroom doesn't collect personal data and doesn't track you across other apps.
