Brand designer, building Open—Shape

About

Solo dev and designer. I build Open—Shape, a node-based canvas for guitar chord progressions — connect a tuning, a capo, and chords as objects on a board, and every shape recalculates live when you change the tuning upstream. Free to use, with a one-time Pro upgrade. Always looking for feedback from guitarists on what's missing.

Open—Shape - Chord progressions for guitar that adapt to any tuning

A free chord progression builder and chord finder for guitar. Write progressions on an open canvas, in Standard, DADGAD, Open G, drop tunings or a custom tuning you build yourself — every shape re-voices itself when the tuning changes. Works in your browser, no account.
