Changelog
What's changed, in reverse chronological order. Have an idea for the next entry? hello@playfretboard.com.
Alternate voicings, scale overlay, mobile polish
- Alternate voicings: when a chord is identified, the app now suggests up to three other common shapes you can click to load.
- Scale overlay mode: pick a root + scale (major, minor, pentatonic, blues, dorian, mixolydian, harmonic minor) and the fretboard maps every scale tone with interval shading.
- Mobile polish pass — bigger tap targets, no iOS zoom on selects, tightened settings panel layout, smoother capo dragging on touch.
- Added this changelog. Hi 👋
