Put a capo on the third fret, play a G shape, and what everyone hears is a Bb. If the bass player or the keyboard player wants to play along, someone has to work that out. Capo Helper does it for you. Set the fret the capo is on and every chord is translated instantly, so the rest of the band knows what's actually sounding and the guitar player can use their capo as much as they want. It works the other way round too. Tell it what key the song is in and it will show you where to put the capo and which shapes to play. WHAT IT DOES • Translates every chord for any capo position, in both directions • Handles real chords — Am7, Csus4, F#m7b5, D/F# — not just root notes • Spells them correctly for the key: Bb in flat keys, A# in sharp keys • Finds the best capo position for a song's key, ranked by which frets give you open chords • Shows you how to actually play each chord with the capo where it is • Stage mode: oversized, high contrast, and the screen stays awake on a music stand CAPO HELPER PRO One purchase. No subscription. • Every alternate fingering for a chord, up and down the neck • Alternate tunings — Eb standard, Drop D, DADGAD, Open G and Open D • Partial capos, where each string can sit at its own fret • Bb, Eb and F transpositions for horns, plus a harmonica position finder • Nashville numbers No ads. No tracking. No account. No internet connection needed — all of it works offline. Bought Capo Helper years ago, when it cost a dollar? Tap Restore and Pro is yours. You already paid for it.

You know the song in G. The singer needs it in Bb. Capo tells you exactly where to clamp so the shapes you already know come out in the key you need. Most transposer apps hand you a new set of chords and leave you to relearn the song. Capo does the opposite: it keeps your fingers on the open shapes you already play and moves the capo instead. Spin two wheels, read the fret, play. WHAT YOU GET • Land on the right fret in seconds: pick the key you know and the key you need, and the capo fret (0–7) appears instantly • Play the song the easy way with open chord diagrams for the I, IV, V and vi shapes you will actually finger • Stop guessing what fits: all 24 major and minor keys with their full I–ii–iii–IV–V–vi chord families and relative keys • Walk on stage prepared: save every song with its key, capo fret and notes, then search and sort your saved songs by title, date or capo • Start playing tonight with five starter songs already in your songbook • Rehearse anywhere: everything works offline in the practice room, the church basement or the campfire PERFECT FOR • Singers and acoustic players who need a song in a different key before tonight • Worship and praise teams matching charts to each vocalist's range • Beginners who know four open chords and want to play many more songs • Songwriters and teachers testing which key sits best for a voice WHY NOT JUST LOOK IT UP? A chart on the wall shows one direction and none of your songs. Capo swaps the direction in a tap, shows the actual shapes to strum, and remembers the fret for every song in your set so you never re-solve the same problem twice.
