Oolimo Alternative: Desktop Guitar Chord Voicing Finder With Offline Export

Oolimo is the most polished web-based guitar chord reference. Type a chord name, see voicings across the fretboard. It's free, fast, and works in any browser.

But Oolimo is a reference tool — not a creation tool. You can look up chords. You can't export diagrams for lessons. You can't sort voicings by playability. You can't work offline. For guitarists who teach, write, or arrange, a desktop tool offers more.

What Oolimo does well

• Clean web interface
• Accurate voicing display
• Free to use
• Works on any device with a browser

What Oolimo doesn't do

• No diagram export (PNG, PDF, Markdown)
• No voicing sorting by difficulty or stretch
• No alternate tuning support beyond standard
• No chord progression builder
• No offline access
• No batch export for lesson materials

Desktop alternative: Fretboard Lab ($19 lifetime)

Fretboard Lab is a desktop chord voicing generator built for guitarists who create materials — teachers making lesson sheets, songwriters exploring voicings, arrangers building chord charts.

What it adds beyond Oolimo:

Export: Save chord diagrams as PNG, PDF, Markdown, or JSON. Create a sheet of 8 voicings for a student in 30 seconds.

Voicing sorting: Sort by stretch, position, open strings, and difficulty. Find the voicing that fits the player's hand — not just any voicing with the right notes.

Alternate tunings: Drop D, DADGAD, Open G, Open D, Half Step Down. See how chord shapes change in each tuning.

Progression builder: Type I-V-vi-IV and see voicing options for each chord. Build smooth voice-leading across a progression.

Offline: Everything works without internet. Your lesson materials stay on your computer.

Price: $19 once. No subscription. No account needed.
