Hear it. Learn it. Write it down.

A native Mac guitar-learning workspace for timed tab, audio analysis, song review, and focused practice.

Visual Composer: chord shapes and timed tab in the native Mac editor.
In development / App previewVisual Composer: chord shapes and timed tab in the native Mac editor.

FretScribe keeps transcription, listening, and practice in one native Mac workspace. Write readable timed tab, analyze a recording, review detected notes against the source, and turn the accepted result into something you can actually learn.

What it does

Write tab that knows the time

Write in the readable .frettab format or place chord shapes in Visual Composer. Play synthesized instruments and loop the section that still refuses to cooperate.

Bring audio into the lab

Analyze a file or capture a microphone, audio interface, system audio, or application audio with explicit permission.

Keep the song around

Store source recordings, reviewed parts, beat anchors, passages, notes, and learning state in a persistent song workspace.

Practice the hard eight bars

Listen with pitch preserved at slower speeds, choose a passage, and follow active notes in a focused practice window.

More music. Fewer workarounds.
