HEAR IT PROPERLY Playback runs on a real soundfont synthesiser, not beeps. Every General MIDI instrument, per track. Bring your own .sf2 or .sf3 and set a different one for each composition. EDIT ON THE STAFF Notes, bends, slides, hammer-ons, palm mutes, repeats and time signatures, placed on the tab where you're already looking. Build a chord and drop it in, or let the arpeggiator spell it out. Loop a section until it's right. Connect a keyboard and move the cursor without touching the screen. NEVER LOSE A VERSION Every edit is recorded, so you can step back through the history of a piece and see exactly what each change did, note by note. Branch an idea, try it, keep both. Nothing is overwritten and nothing is thrown away. TAKE IT WITH YOU. Export as MIDI or MusicXML for whatever else you use. Or export a .mdst; An open, documented format that carries the whole piece and its history. WORKS ON A PLANE No account, no sign-in, no connection. Your compositions live on your device.

Hey, I'm Drew. I love playing guitar, but I got tired of losing my song ideas, so I built this clean, simple tab writer to jot down my tabs and chords right on my phone. If you're passionate about playing and just want a simple grid that stays out of your way and lets you capture your music, I hope this helps you out too.
