A metronome on your board

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Metronome widget — Drop a minimal, tuner-style metronome next to your chords. Type a new tempo while it plays and it keeps time without stopping.

15 guitar tunings — Pick Drop D, DADGAD, Open G, E♭ Standard and eleven more in Scale Settings, from open tunings down to B Standard.

Bass and ukulele boards — Set a board to bass, four or five strings, or to ukulele, each with its own tunings. Chords come from the guitar library for now.

Add anything from one card — The Add card now has shortcuts for an empty chord and the metronome, so new widgets land on the board in one click.

Chord filters in the floating bar — The chord drawer’s filters and actions moved into the floating bar, leaving the whole drawer for the chord list.

A calmer Save button — Save stays quiet while you play and only asks for attention when real work is at risk.

Polish — Focus rings no longer get clipped, dialogs stop flashing scrollbars on hover, chord cards in the drawer no longer show up blank, and added notes use a softer color that fits your board theme.

Smoother on iPhone

Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Add Chord answers a single tap on iOS — Dragging no longer swallows taps, so adding a chord on iPhone and iPad works the first time.

Sync offer laid out right in Safari — The sync offer keeps its layout in Safari instead of collapsing.

Checkout that keeps your board

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Your board travels through checkout — Buying AuralFret Cloud takes a snapshot of your local board with the order, so it is waiting in your account afterwards.

Save reminders that respect your time — The Save button warms up based on how long your work has gone unsaved, not on how many edits you made.

Launch discounts apply on their own — An active promotion is applied at checkout without typing a code.

Sync your board across devices

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

AuralFret Cloud — Pay once and your board syncs across devices. The board you built before buying comes with you.

Auto-sync on save — Already have an account? AuralFret recognizes it and syncs your board every time you save.

A quieter autosave — The autosave indicator stopped blinking on every single edit.

Search, themes and labels

Sat, 15 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Search the whole chord catalog — Find any chord from the drawer, not just the ones already loaded on screen.

Board themes — Give each board its own color theme — menus and overlays follow it.

Notes or intervals — Switch fretboard labels between note names and intervals.

Your voicing is remembered — The voicing you pick on a chord stays selected after a refresh.

Rename your board — Click the pencil next to the board name in /play. Dialogs now also fit on short screens.

Clearer pricing, easier reading

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The price before checkout — The one-time price is shown up front, before you reach checkout.

More accessible homepage — Better contrast, visible focus states and larger tap targets across the homepage.

A faster chord library

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Chord pages open instantly — Every chord page is pre-built, so it opens fast on any connection.

Related chords on every page — Each chord page links to chords that share its root or quality.

A reliable chord drawer — The library and the drawer load reliably and fetch chords as you scroll.

Voicing carousel

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Step through voicings — Chord widgets get carousel controls to move through every voicing of a chord.

Play what you see — The Play action sounds the voicing currently selected.

Sharps and flats

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Sharp/flat toggle — Switch a chord between sharp and flat spelling (C♯ ↔ D♭) right on the widget — the choice carries into new chords.

Flat chords in the library — Flat-named chords show up in the drawer and library, and search understands both spellings.

Redesigned chord cards — Cleaner chord cards and a simpler notation toggle.
