Open—Shape: A Modern Guitar Companion App

Open—Shape guitar chord app on two iPhones beside the Open—Shape wordmark, brand identity by Hix Brands

Building the guitar tool I always wanted

Open-Shape is a browser-based guitar chord and tuning utility built from the ground up — 33+ alternate tunings, real acoustic sound samples, a built-in mic tuner, and a visual progression builder for songwriters. As founder and sole developer, I designed and built the entire product experience, from brand identity to UI to the interactive 3D chord visualizer, with a free tier and one-time Pro unlock.
