- Fretboard
- Chords
- Circle of Fifths
- Tuner
Own the Fretboard
Every note. Every key. Every position.
The full neck for guitar, baritone and bass: note map, scale positions, shape boxes and three-notes-per-string patterns. Practice drills run at your tempo, in either direction, on a loop.
Every dot is tappable, and every tap sounds a real plucked string.
Hear Like a Riff Lord
Train your ears. Trust your instincts.
- Notes: hear a pitch, name it.
- Intervals: hear two notes, name the distance.
- Chords: hear a chord, name its quality.
Each runs easy, medium or hard. Chords adds an expert tier and any question can be replayed as many times as you need. Streaks and stats build up as you go, and they stay on the device.
Summon Massive Chords
29 chord types. Every key. Every voicing.
A searchable chord library with playable diagrams, plus quick-pick shapes for the ones you reach for constantly.
Build mode works the other way round: put your fingers on the fretboard and Iron Ear tells you what you just played.
Learn the Rules. Break Them.
The Circle of Fifths, Nashville Numbers and progressions you’ll actually use.
An interactive wheel for keys, relative minors and key signature, the map that makes the rest of it click.
Tap a progression: I–IV–V and other Nashville-number rows and hear it played back in whichever key you land on.
Privacy
Everything you do stays on this device
This isn’t a promise not to sell your data. There is nothing to sell: Iron Ear has no networking code in it at all. It never opens a connection, so nothing can leave your phone even by accident.
- No account, no sign-in, no email address to hand over.
- No analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no third-party SDKs.
- Scores, streaks and settings are written to your device and stay there.
- Delete the app and that data goes with it. There is no copy anywhere else.
- Every screen works in airplane mode, because that is the only mode it has.

Data Not CollectedThe developer does not collect any data from this app. That is the whole label — there are no other rows to expand.
Built for players who practise
Iron Ear is made by one small studio, sold once for a dollar, and shipped without a single thing designed to keep tabs on you. If something is broken or missing, write to us — a person reads it.
