The biggest update
since launch

Six new features that make Fretionary work the way real guitarists practice — across tunings, with smart suggestions, and built-in tools to keep you sharp.

🎚️

9 Alternate Tunings

Drop D, Drop C, DADGAD, Open D / G / E, Eb & D Standard. The fretboard recalculates every note for the active tuning. Standard and Drop D are free.

Smart Resolution Hints

Every chord shows where it commonly resolves to with the voice-leading reason — V7 → I, sus4 → major, ii° → V. Tap a card to jump straight there.

🧠

Practice Drills

Three modes — Name the Note, Find the Note, String Drill — across three difficulty levels. Build real fretboard memory with quick-fire rounds.

🥁

Built-in Metronome

BPM 40–240, six time signatures including 6/8 and 7/8, accent + offbeat clicks, tap-tempo, and a drift-corrected timer that stays steady even at 200+ BPM.
