FretPilot

Master your fret knowledge

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Most guitarists can play — but they never truly learn the neck. They get stuck in the same box shape, hunting for notes, guessing where a C# lives on the D string. The players who break through all share one habit: they see the fretboard as a map they know by heart. FretPilot is the trainer that gets you there — and it works nothing like a flashcard app. It doesn't ask you to tap a screen. It calls out a note, listens through your mic as you find and play it anywhere on the neck, and times you. Then it shows that time falling, session after session, until the whole fretboard is instant. That's the skill serious teachers keep coming back to: not just knowing the notes, but knowing them instantly. It's what frees you to improvise, to build chords and scales anywhere on the neck, to make sense of theory, and to speak the same language as other musicians. And it takes only a few focused minutes a day. HOW IT WORKS • We call a note. You play it anywhere on the six-string neck. Your guitar does the talking. • FretPilot times every answer and tracks your average and personal best for each string. • Watch your recall speed drop as the neck becomes muscle memory. BUILT TO MOVE YOU FORWARD • Four learner modes — Novice (open strings), Beginner (shows the position), Improver (it fades in slowly), and Mastery (pure recall). • Per-string speed and accuracy stats, with progress charts across days and weeks. • "Focus on my weak spots" steers practice toward the notes and strings you're slowest on. • A note timeout keeps the pace honest and sharp. • One-tap Optimise tunes the listening to your guitar and your room. WORKS WITH YOUR GUITAR • Acoustic or classical — just the built-in microphone. • Electric — through an amp, or plugged in with an audio interface. • Every note is analysed live, on your device. CLIMB THE SCOREBOARD — IF YOU WANT TO • Opt in to the online scoreboard and see how you rank: overall, by your learner mode, or against your own guitar school. • Choose a nickname — your real identity is never shown. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your microphone audio is analysed in real time on your iPhone. It is never recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. • The online scoreboard is entirely optional and opt-in. Whether you're a beginner who wants to start the right way, or an intermediate player finally ready to break out of the box, FretPilot turns the one practice that changes everything into something fast, measurable, and genuinely hard to put down.
