Offline guitar workbench

The Guitar Workbench

3D chords, a real tab editor, and every guitar tool in one place.

Spin any voicing 360°, learn the fretboard, write tablature, transcribe with the mic, and keep a tuner and metronome in your pocket — all offline, no account, no subscription.

A full guitar toolkit, not a single trick.

Chord finder, fretboard trainer, tab editor, scales, tuner, metronome and a guided course — built for guitar, bass and other fretted instruments.

Every chord in 3D.

Spin the neck 360°, compare voicings, read clear diagrams, and hear each shape before you play it — major through extended chords.
