About Guitar Notebook

Guitar Notebook helps you capture new song ideas, practice riffs, and more. It’s also a great complement to your DAW for documenting tracks. Get started with the free version, then upgrade to Pro to do so much more.

The free Version of Guitar Notebook gets you started with five songs and access to most features. Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Upgrade to PRO (in-app) for unlimited songs, pages, and recordings, plus capo and custom tuning. (Also removes the watermark from PDFs.) Your PRO Upgrade is a Universal Purchase, which means it works for Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Choose from a Yearly Subscription* at a great price, or a Lifetime Buy.

*You never lose access to your songs, even if your subscription ends.
