Riffin

What Riffin is

Riffin is a web tablature editor for writing, playing back, recording, and sharing guitar tabs. Its editor includes a title field, a TAB view, and a guitar tuning set to EADGBe. Users can copy and paste power chords, rearrange material with drag and drop, and add space within a tab. The page also advertises recording a demo on the fly and sharing tabs. Riffin describes the editor as designed for simplicity and portability and says it is built for guitarists by guitarists. The editor interface includes an “Ask AI” control. Riffin lists tablature as its only notation mode, along with tab playback and audio recording. The service runs on the web and its Free plan is listed as free. The maker says Riffin is free to use and invites users to support the project. Planned updates include a better mobile experience, audio uploads and multitrack recording, chord diagrams, plain-text conversion to Riffin tabs, and export options.

Verdict
