FretFlo vs MIDI Memos

Find a better way to play it. FretFlo helps guitarists turn chord progressions into playable voicings that work together across the fretboard. Enter your progression, choose where you want to play on the neck, and FretFlo generates two carefully selected paths through the chords. Instead of looking at each chord in isolation, FretFlo considers the progression as a whole—helping you find parts with natural voice leading, comfortable movement, and voicings that fit together musically. Whether you're working out a second guitar part at rehearsal, exploring new ways to play a familiar progression, or trying to move beyond the same open chord shapes, FretFlo gets you from chords to playing quickly. GENERATE BETTER VOICINGS Enter a progression and get playable chord shapes selected to work together—not just a list of every possible fingering. EXPLORE TWO MUSICAL PATHS Compare two different approaches to the same progression and choose the one that fits your part. CHOOSE YOUR POSITION Point FretFlo toward the area of the neck where you want to play. It's a musical starting point, not a rigid boundary, so the progression can move when a better voicing calls for it. BUILT-IN GUITAR TUNER A clean, responsive chromatic tuner is always close by when you need it. KEEP YOUR IDEAS TOGETHER Recent progressions make it easy to return to what you've been working on. GO FURTHER WITH FRETFLO PRO Unlock the full chord vocabulary, including 7ths, suspended, diminished and augmented chords. Explore alternate tunings such as Drop D, DADGAD and open tunings, create your own custom tunings, and save favorite progressions along with their tuning and neck position. FretFlo Pro is a one-time purchase. No subscription. Made for the moment between hearing the progression and finding your part.

MIDI Memos is the fastest way to capture a musical idea on your iPhone or iPad. One button, one tap, you're recording. Play your MIDI keyboard or tap the built-in on-screen piano. Tap stop. You've got a clean Standard MIDI File ready to share to GarageBand, Logic, Ableton, Cubase, or any DAW. That's it. No setup, no tracks, no menus to navigate. WHAT IT DOES • Records MIDI from any Bluetooth or USB-C MIDI keyboard, controller, or pad • Built-in on-screen piano — set the exact number of keys, slide the starting note one key at a time, and play full-width in landscape • Background recording keeps capturing while the screen is locked or you switch to another app • Optional auto-split breaks a long session into separate takes at the silences (off by default) • A quick summary after each take — see the note count, length, detected key, and tempo, then rename, favorite, or discard it on the spot • Plays back every take through a high-quality piano so you can audition immediately • Optional metronome click during recording • Adjustable tempo (40–240 BPM), embedded in every exported file so it imports at the right tempo • Share .mid files instantly via AirDrop, Files, Mail, Messages, or directly to any DAW • Take library with favorites, search, and a 30-day trash so accidental deletes are recoverable • Universal — works on iPhone and iPad • No accounts, no tracking, no ads WHO IT'S FOR • Songwriters who want to capture a melody before it slips away • Producers who need a quick MIDI sketchpad away from the studio • Pianists and keyboardists practicing on a digital piano who want to log a take • Teachers and students who want a no-friction way to record an exercise • Anyone who has ever thought "I had an idea, but by the time I opened my DAW it was gone" WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most DAWs are powerful and complex. MIDI Memos is the opposite — a single-purpose utility that does one thing well. There is no project to create, no track to arm, no preset to pick. The big red button is the entire interface. PRIVACY Your recordings stay on your device and are never uploaded. There are no accounts and no ads. MIDI Memos sends anonymous usage analytics and crash reports so bugs get fixed; none of it is used to track you across other apps. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 18 or later • iPhone or iPad • A MIDI keyboard via Bluetooth or USB is recommended; on-screen keyboard works too
