Freatboard vs Rehearsio

Fretboard is a guitar chord builder that lets you see what you're playing, hear it back, and understand why it works. Tap the fretboard to build any chord shape. The app identifies what you've built in real time — major, minor, seventh, sus, dim, slash chords, all of it. Pick from a library of standard voicings or create your own. Then see which chords fit the same key and which ones sound good together. Once you've found chords you like, drop them into the progression builder. Set the strum count, dial in the tempo, and hit play. Real sampled guitar audio — not MIDI, not synthesis. Save your progressions to come back to later. No account required. No internet needed. Everything stays on your device. WHAT YOU CAN DO Build any chord voicing on an interactive 6-string fretboard See the chord name update in real time as you change finger positions Browse and load standard voicings — majors, minors, 7ths, sus, dim, aug, and more View chords in the same key and discover related chord suggestions Assemble chord progressions with drag-to-reorder slots Set strum count per chord and adjust BPM with a slider or tap tempo Play back progressions with real guitar samples and loop playback Save, name, and organize progressions in your local library WHO IT'S FOR Fretboard is built for guitarists who want to understand what they're playing — not just memorize shapes. Whether you're just starting out and learning your first chord transitions, or you're an intermediate player experimenting with chord substitutions and key relationships, this app gives you the tools without the clutter. No gamification. No subscriptions. No ads. Just a clean tool that does what it says. AUDIO Every strum uses sampled acoustic guitar recordings with natural string cascade timing. Muted strings stay silent. It sounds like a guitar because it is a guitar. Built with SwiftUI for iOS 17+.

Everything you need for a practice session, in one app. Sheet music, annotations, metronome, tuner, recorder, notes and practice history — all inside one rehearsal session. No switching between apps. No writing the same thing down twice. You start practicing, and everything you need is already there. When you finish, Rehearsio leaves you with a record of what you actually worked on. WHAT A SESSION LOOKS LIKE Start a session and the clock runs automatically. Your score is open, the metronome is a tap away, the recorder is ready, and your practice time is tracked by piece — not just as one total. When you finish, your session summary shows what you practiced, for how long, and what you recorded. SHEET MUSIC YOU CAN WRITE ON Import PDFs from Files, Mail, or anywhere you can share. Add fingerings, bowings, breaths, reminders and more directly to the page. Six pencils and a highlighter, musical stamps, typed notes, eraser and undo — everything is there when you need it. Your annotations stay with the score, even when you make them in the middle of a run-through. Share an annotated copy with your teacher while keeping the original untouched. A METRONOME THAT HOLDS THE BEAT Set time signatures, accents, subdivisions and tempo, or tap in the tempo yourself. It keeps playing while you use the rest of the app — even when you turn the page. A TUNER FOR ANYTHING WITH A PITCH A clear note, cents display and stable needle. Choose your instrument for more focused tuning, or use chromatic mode for anything. A reference note is also available when you prefer to tune by ear. RECORD THE RUN-THROUGH Record without leaving the score. Start a take, keep practicing, and listen back afterwards — with the annotations you made during the session still there. Recordings stay on your device unless you choose to share them. NOTES AND TASKS THAT KNOW THE PIECE What your teacher said. What to fix before Friday. What to ask next lesson. Keep notes and tasks attached to the piece so they are there when you need them again. SEE THE WEEKS ADD UP Track practice days, minutes per piece, tempo and progress over time. Rehearsio counts what you actually played, giving you a clear picture of your practice — not just what you intended to practice. BUILT FOR THE MUSIC STAND Large controls, warm paper-coloured surfaces and a distraction-free interface designed to be read while you play. Rehearsio supports VoiceOver and TalkBack so every control is clearly identified. YOUR WORK STAYS YOURS No account. No sign-in. Nothing is uploaded. Your scores, annotations, notes, recordings and practice history stay on your device. You can export your entire library to a single file and keep your own backup wherever you choose. FREE. NO ADS. Rehearsio is free to use, with no advertising and nothing to buy inside the app. Rehearsio is made by one person who practises. If something is broken or missing, you can reach them directly through the app.
