Built by a musician, for musicians
Hi, I'm Dear John — a singer-songwriter from the Netherlands.
I've spent years playing weddings, festivals, and living room concerts, always juggling messy Word docs and paper setlists. I'd lose chord sheets, forget capo positions, and waste time before every gig reorganizing everything.
So I built Fretlist — first for myself, now for you.
I use Fretlist at every gig. If something's broken or annoying, I feel it too. And if you have ideas to make it better, I'm all ears.
— Dear John
