Fretspire: Tab Player & Editor

Open your tabs offline, play them back with loop, metronome and slow-down, and fix a note right on the tab. No account, no ads, no subscription.

Fretspire is a tablature player and editor for guitarists and bassists. Open the tab files you already have, hear them, practise with them and correct them by touch. Everything happens on your device: no account, no cloud, no ads, no subscription.

OPEN YOUR FILES Tab files .gp, .gpx, .gp5, .gp4 and .gp3, and MIDI files (.mid). Open from the Files app, Mail, AirDrop or any app with "Open in Fretspire". Save your changes or a copy, and export MIDI.

PLAY AND PRACTISE Playback of every track with General MIDI instrument sounds. A cursor that follows the music, bar by bar. Loop a passage, slow the tempo down or speed it up. Metronome and count-in. Mute or solo any track: play along with the band without your part.

READ IT YOUR WAY Tablature alone, or standard notation and tab together. One track or the whole band on the page. Bends, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, palm mutes, vibrato and other techniques are shown as written. Drum tracks in drum notation. Zoom, and ten colour themes from dark stage looks to classic paper.

EDIT BY TOUCH Tap a fret on the pad to put a note on the tab. Pick durations, dots and rests, move between strings and beats. Add beats and bars, delete notes, undo and redo. Start a new guitar or bass tab from scratch.

Fretspire is free and works offline. It does not collect any data. Fretspire is an independent app and is not affiliated with any other tablature software maker. File format names are used only to describe the files it opens.
