Tabs Scripture Memory uses a time-tested tab system to help you hide God's Word in your heart. Start with a verse, review it daily, and watch it graduate through tabs as you commit it to memory. How It Works Create a card for any Bible verse, then review it through a simple spaced-repetition cycle. New cards start in your Daily tab. As you master them, promote them to less frequent tabs — Even, Saturday, Day 30 — until they're deeply rooted. Features - Create a card from any passage using multiple Bible translations - Add personal comments and tags to organize your cards and memorize alongside important categories - Browse curated card sets like the Navigators Topical Memory System - Search and filter your collection by reference, tag, or tab - Track your streak and mastery percentage on the dashboard - Sign in to back up your cards to the cloud automatically - Clean, distraction-free design - Whether you're memorizing your first verse or maintaining a collection of hundreds, Tabs Memory gives you a clear, structured path from learning to long-term recall in less than 5 minutes a day.

You know what notes sound like. You just can't find them fast enough. FretBored fixes that. It plays a sequence of notes, you play them back on your real guitar, and the app listens through your mic to score your accuracy and timing. It's ear training that actually feels like a game with combos, XP, daily streaks, and a structured curriculum that takes you from open strings to full-neck fluency across all 12 frets. No guitar handy? Half the modes work without one. PLAY WITH YOUR GUITAR Free Play — Hear a sequence, play it back. Difficulty adapts to how well you're actually doing, not just how long you've played. Curriculum — 12 modules, 55+ lessons. Start with telling high notes from low ones. End with blind challenges across all 12 frets. Scale Practice — 20+ scales in open position and higher positions (5th, 7th, 12th fret). The fretboard adapts to show only the range you need. Lick Library — 16 real musical phrases across blues, rock, folk, and jazz. Learn actual music, not just exercises. Interval Training — Hear two notes, name the distance. Three difficulty levels. Tuner — Built-in chromatic tuner with cents display. One less app to switch to. or PLAY WITHOUT YOUR GUITAR Shredle — Wordle meets the fretboard. Guess a note sequence by ear. Four difficulties, daily puzzle. Riff Memory — Simon Says, but for guitar riffs. Sequences get longer each round. Scale Quiz — Hear a scale, name it. Interval Quiz — Hear an interval, name it. Scale Builder — Tap out the right notes on a fretboard to build a scale from scratch. No accounts. No tracking. No ads. No subscriptions. FretBored works entirely offline.
