Guitar Tab Maker — Easy tab editor for stringed instruments
Guitar Tab Maker is a straightforward, easy-to-use application for creating and editing tablature on iOS and macOS. It’s built to make transcribing riffs and arrangements fast, so you can enter or refine your tabs without fuss.
Cross-device synchronization
One of the app’s strongest conveniences is automatic syncing via iCloud. Your tab files are kept up to date across all devices signed into the same account, so you can start a transcription on one device and continue editing on another with no extra steps.
Exporting and sharing
You can export your work to common file formats for distribution or safekeeping:
- GTAB files for compatibility with other tab software
- PDF files for easy printing and sharing
These export options make it simple to send tabs to collaborators or preserve a backup copy.
Instruments supported
Guitar Tab Maker isn’t limited to standard six-string guitar tabs; it handles several instrument types, including:
- 8-string guitars
- 7-string guitars
- Ukulele
- Bass
- Guitar
This flexibility makes it useful for multi-instrumentalists and progressive players.
Ads, upgrades, and premium option
The free version contains minimal advertising shown only during certain actions:
- Duplicating an existing tab
- Creating a new tab
If you prefer an uninterrupted experience, a paid Premium upgrade is available to remove ads. Purchasing Premium directly supports the developer and helps fund ongoing improvements.
Development and support
The developer actively maintains the app and periodically releases updates with new features and fixes. If you have suggestions or requests, use the app’s built-in support or the developer contact link listed in the app’s store page to get in touch.
