Guitar Tap (Web) 1.0.1 — first public release
First public release of the browser edition of Guitar Tap — tap-tone
spectrum analysis for luthiers, running entirely in your browser with the same
analysis engine as the native Swift and Python apps.
Tap a guitar, tonewood plate, or brace, run a high-resolution FFT, and read the
resonant peaks and material properties that guide bracing, mass, and thickness
(the methodology from Contemporary Acoustic Guitar Design and Build by Gore &
Gilet).

Highlights
- Guitar / Plate / Brace modes — resonant peaks (Air, Top, Back…) labelled
with frequency, pitch, and Q, plus tap-tone ratio and ring-out; plate & brace
stiffness, speed of sound, specific modulus, and a Gore target thickness. - Live capture — real-time spectrum, automatic tap detection, multi-tap
averaging, and UMIK-1 microphone calibration. - Saved library — stored locally in your browser;
.guitartapimport/export,
Export All for whole-library backup or transfer, PDF and spectrum-image
reports, and comparison overlays. - Installable PWA — add to your home screen / dock for an app window, offline

- Runs entirely client-side — no server, no accounts, no tracking. Audio is
analysed on your device. - This release attaches only the source code (
Source code (zip / tar.gz)) —
