Frets 2 Keys
Frets 2 Keys is a music education utility designed to help musicians, particularly guitarists and other fretted-instrument players, understand and practice the relationship between fretboard positions and musical notes on a keyboard. The app visualizes how frets on stringed instruments correspond to piano keys, making it easier for musicians to transition between instruments or deepen their understanding of music theory. It's useful for music teachers, students learning multiple instruments, and anyone seeking to strengthen their knowledge of note-to-fret relationships.

1 suggestionUnfortunately, no native Apple Silicon version of Frets 2 Keys (version 1.2) appears to have been released. The search results provided no information about the app or its developer status, and there is no evidence of active maintenance or plans for a Universal Binary build. The app appears to be either abandoned or no longer actively developed. For similar functionality, consider alternatives such as GarageBand (built-in to macOS, fully native), Music Theory Helper, or web-based tools like musictheory.net, which offer interactive fretboard and keyboard visualizations. If Frets 2 Keys remains important to your workflow, you may continue using it under Rosetta 2 for now, but plan to migrate to a native alternative before Rosetta support ends.
