Plug in.It listens.

Ask Fretfall to score a run and it listens while you play: the notes you hit, and how late your guitar arrived. It asks for the microphone then, never before.

Storage is the one thing that costs me money every month. Playing is free, running Fretfall is not, and Supporters are what keeps it running. Stop any time, and download everything for 30 days.

Fairquestions

What a Musician asks before trusting a free thing with their files.

Is it really free?
Yes, for good. Playing the Catalog and your own files, every control of the Player, scoring, the trainers and your Practice record are free, and nothing you play is ever behind a payment. Two things cost money: a Library in the cloud, for Supporters, and Gems, for looks.
Do I need an account?
Not to play. Without one, your Library and your Practice record stay in this browser. A free account, your email and a sign-in code with no password, takes your Plays, Statuses and Setlists to every device.
Where are my files?
On your device. A free Musician's files are never uploaded; a Supporter's also go to the cloud, up to 50 MB a file, where nobody else can play or download them, Fretfall's admin included.
Can money buy Fame or a Level?
No. Fame comes from practice and nowhere else, so a Level and a place on a Board mean what they say. Gems buy looks, at 100 for $1, and never anything random.
What if I stop being a Supporter?
You keep everything until the period you paid for ends. Then your cloud Library is Locked: for 30 days you can still download every file, unchanged, and after that the files are deleted. Your Practice record goes on following you.
Does it score my playing?
If you ask it to. The microphone listens while you play and the Run is scored on your device; nothing of the sound leaves it. Without the microphone, Fretfall shows you what to play and remembers what you practised.
How long should I practise?
Ten or twenty minutes a day is plenty. The Streak counts days of five minutes or more, forgives one rest day a week, and never takes anything away for a missed one.
