Latest version 0.1.9
Fretboard Lab 0.1.9 hardens Microsoft Store offer refreshes without changing the product boundary: Community Edition keeps chord and voicing work across the fretboard and alternate tunings, while licensed workflows cover exports and saved projects.
Also available on
Purchases and activation stay with the distribution channel you choose: website editions use an emailed license key; a Store build exposes native purchase only when that Store offer is published, and restores entitlements through your Microsoft account.

Guitar chord and voicing reference
Beginner guitar keys, chord shapes, and voicings that fit the song.
Type Cmaj7, Am7, or I-V-vi-IV and explore playable fingerings sorted by position, span, open strings, and difficulty across standard and alternate tunings.
Built for guitarists, teachers, and songwriters who want to move beyond the first-position barre chord and find voicings that fit their hand, their tuning, and their song.
Chord parsing and voicing generation
Enter standard chord symbols (Cmaj7, Am7, Dm7b5) or roman numerals (I-V-vi-IV) and generate multiple playable voicings from the guitar-core engine.
Fretboard visualization and sorting
View voicings on an SVG fretboard with finger numbers, muted/open markers, and position labels. Sort by position, difficulty, span, or open string count.
Alternate tunings and export
Switch between E Standard, Drop D, DADGAD, Open G, and more. Export voicing diagrams as PNG, PDF, Markdown, or JSON.
