    If you learn theory in Sonid and play a stringed instrument, you have probably wished you could see that theory straight on your instrument. Capo by Sonid is that companion: an interactive neck powered by the same chord, scale, and interval catalog as sonid.app, built for study sessions, teaching, and songwriting.

    Capo launches on July 4, 2026 on iOS and Android. Explore the product site at getcapo.sonid.app today.

    Everything on the neck

    From a quick chord lookup to deep scale study, Capo is the practice surface for Sonid theory on stringed instruments. Switch instruments, tunings, and display modes without leaving the fretboard.

    Features

    Interactive fretboard

    Explore chords, scales, and intervals on a responsive neck diagram. Tap any note for pitch, interval names, chord tones, and links back to Sonid articles.
