The tab editor for bands
Write the part.
Attach the recording.
The tab plays along.
Build a guitar tab and sync it to your audio — as the track plays, the tab advances step by step. Share one link. Viewers don't need an account.

Where it fits
You have ways to do this today.
Each fall short in their own way.
Sure you can share a voice memo, a chunk of ASCII tab in a text message, or a full notation file. But each one catches part of the song and loses the rest. Rifflog sits between them.
The voice memo
Catches
The feel. Timing, dynamics, the way the chord actually rings.
Misses
The details. Your guitarist is asking what that second chord is while piecing it together.
e|-----------------------0--------| B|-2-------------------3--2-------| G|-2-2-------2-2-0---3----2-2-----| D|-2---2---2-2-2-0--------2---2---| A|-0-----0-0--------------0-----0-| E|-----------------3--------------|
The text tab
Catches
The fret positions. Free, universal, fits in a chat message.
Misses
Everything else. No timing, no audio, painful to write by hand.
The official notation file
Catches
All of it. Frets, timing, dynamics, multiple parts.
Misses
The afternoon you spent making it. And whether they have the app.
Tab structure good enough to read. Audio attached so it fills the gaps. Nothing to install.
For the songs that don't deserve a full notation file but won't survive a voice memo.
Made by a musician who got tired of just texting voice memos and screenshots. We can do better.
The loop
From the riff in your head to the group chat, in three moves.
Write the part
Set the notes, upload the reference audio, then sync them together. You can do this for multiple parts too.
Share the link
One URL. Your collaborators don't need an account, they just open it. You decide if it's private, link-only, or open.
Hear it together
You'll all have a chance to review the parts and keep the momentum going. Make updates without sending out a whole new versions.
Inside the editor
Get your ideas out. As simply as you'd like.
Any strings, any tuning.
Guitar, bass, ukulele, mandolin, banjo. Standard, drop D, DADGAD, open G, 4–6 string bass. Or type your own string names.
Every part of the song, in one tab.
Stack guitar, bass, and rhythm in the same file. Share them all together, or tailor each link to show only what that person needs.
The tab follows the recording.
Attach the demo. Each step is pinned to a position in the waveform. As the playhead moves through, the tab advances with it.
Private by default.
Share with named emails, a single link, or no one at all. Viewers don't need an account. You can revoke a link the moment the song changes.
Stop rebuilding your scrolling tab by hand for every video.
The tab you already wrote, walking in time with your recording — exported as a performance overlay you drop straight over your footage. No redrawing it frame by frame in your editor.
FOOTAGE
It's your real tab, not a redraw.
The overlay is the exact part you wrote, pinned to the same synced audio. The green step walks the tab in perfect time — because it's the same data the editor already plays.
Exports on transparency.
A compositing layer — APNG, a PNG sequence, or a ProRes .mov — that you stack over your clip in any editor. Green is the only color, so it reads on any footage.
Or just post it flat.
Rather skip the editor? Bake the tab onto a plate and export a finished MP4 that plays straight to Reels, TikTok or Shorts. No compositing.
Built for
Ready for the next practice
— Bandmates
Share out your ideas and by practice everyone's ready to build on it. No PDFs, no screenshots, no 'can you re-export that with the bridge.'.
The lesson that doesn't get lost
— Teachers & students
Send the exercise after the lesson, with the recording attached. They can replay it slowly all week. You can update it after class without re-emailing anything.
The notebook you'll actually open again.
— Solo writers
Capture the riff at 1 AM before you forget it. Search by feel: 'the one in D, the open-string thing'. Find it again Saturday afternoon.
The overlay you didn't redraw by hand.
— Content creators
Write the part once, export it as a scrolling overlay, and drop it over your playing video. The tab stays in time with your audio — no frame-by-frame rebuild in your editor.
For the riffs that are too good to lose in a voice memo.
