Capo Helper

Support

Capo Helper tells you what chord a guitarist is actually sounding when they use a capo — so the bass player, the keys player and the horn section can all play along.

Common questions

I bought Capo Helper years ago. Do I have to pay again?

No. If you bought the app back when it cost money, Pro is yours. Open Settings → Restore purchases, or tap Restore a previous purchase on the unlock screen. You will need to be signed in to the same Apple Account you originally bought it with.

The chord names aren't the ones I expected. Is it wrong?

Probably not — it is choosing the spelling that suits the key. B♭ and A♯ are the same pitch, but only one is correct in a given key: you write B♭ in the key of F and A♯ in the key of B. Set the key with the Band is in… chip, or override it entirely under Settings → Sharps and flats.

My guitar is tuned down a half step. Does that work?

Yes, and it is handled properly rather than approximated. Choose E♭ Standard under the instrument settings and the whole table shifts accordingly. Drop D, DADGAD, Open G and Open D are there too. Alternate tunings are a Pro feature.

What about partial capos?

Supported, including Kyser Short-Cut style capos where each string can sit at its own fret. With a partial capo there is no single “sounds N semitones higher” answer, so the app shows you real chord shapes instead of a transposition table. Pro feature.

Does it need an internet connection?

No. Everything works offline. The app has no server, and never sends anything anywhere.

What is in Pro?

Alternate fingerings for every chord, alternate tunings, partial capos, B♭/E♭/F transpositions for horns, a harmonica position finder, and Nashville numbers. One purchase, no subscription.

I paid for Pro but it is locked on my other device.

Tap Restore purchases in Settings on that device, signed in to the same account. If it still does not unlock, email us with the approximate purchase date and we will sort it out.
