Jebbio
Read full descriptionHide full description
Jebbio — your reference for crafting solos, riffs, and melodies. Jebbio is a practical reference tool for guitarists who want to understand how chords and scales connect on the fretboard, and use that knowledge to create music. Built for guitar teachers, students, and self-taught players, Jebbio supports exploration and ear-based playing rather than step-by-step lessons or predefined licks. Choose the chord progression you’re playing or writing. Explore the keys and scales that fit your chords. See the notes on the fretboard, hear them, and explore freely at your own pace. Instead of running scales up and down, Jebbio helps you work with motifs, connect positions across the fretboard, and focus on phrasing, timing, and feel. Jebbio doesn’t tell you what to play. It gives you the tools to explore, understand, and create your own musical ideas.

Pick a vibe, fill the room, and put your own words on the screen. SoftWork Beats is original, ad-free instrumental music for the places you work — and it's licensed so you can play it in public. Twelve genres, one tap: • Lo-Fi Jazz • Chill Electronic • Deep Focus • Energetic Focus • Classical Focus • Acoustic Mornings • Cinematic • Island Time • Retro Drive • Game Mode • Lullabies • Pop WHAT IT DOES • Put your words on the screen — curated trivia for your type of business, plus your own notes between tracks: hours, specials, Wi-Fi, whatever the room should know • Opens and closes with you — set a start and stop time and the music keeps your hours on its own • Hands free — "Hey Siri, play Deep Focus on SoftWork Beats." Every control is a Siri phrase and a Shortcuts action • One room or twenty — add a seat per room and each plays on its own • Original music, no ads — every track is ours, instrumental, with no vocals to talk over and new albums every week • On every screen you own — iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Watch, plus the web player and CarPlay • Speaks your team's language — the whole app in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Romanian, Japanese, Hindi and Chinese LICENSED FOR PUBLIC PERFORMANCE This is the part most music apps can't offer. Consumer streaming services are licensed for personal listening only — playing them in your business isn't covered. SoftWork Beats is different: your subscription includes a public performance license for your place of business. That means you can play it out loud, in public, wherever you work — reception, waiting rooms, lobbies, treatment rooms, salons, cafés, gyms and studios. No PRO fees. No per-song royalties. No paperwork to file. Hear a track you love? Tap "Listen on Apple Music" to find it. Great for: offices and coworking spaces, dental and medical waiting rooms, therapy and chiropractic clinics, salons and spas, cafés, gyms — and focus sessions at home. Start listening free.
