Fixing problems, building solutions.

Skadar Studio builds apps. The kind of apps that make you say, 'I am so glad that exists.' That's why they're built: to solve a problem, fill a gap, or just make life easier.

Fretboard in dark mode: a 3D rosewood guitar neck with a G major chord marked on the neck

Fretboard

Fretboard turns a chord shape on the guitar neck into that chord’s name.

Write songs on guitar long enough and your fingers land on shapes you can’t name. Fretboard names them. Tap the frets you’re holding and it reads the notes, weighs the bass note and the gaps between strings, and ranks every chord those notes could spell, likeliest first. Then it plays the shape back through a pedalboard so you can hear what you found.

Switch between nine tunings, from standard, to drop D, to DADGAD, and the neck relabels, the names recalculate, and the strings retune. Strum the shape or pick it out one string at a time, loop it, and run it through distortion, chorus, flanger, wah, delay, and reverb. It all runs in the browser, on a phone or a computer.

Siteline in light mode: an article with its nofollow, sponsored and ugc links outlined and labeled, beside the Siteline side panel listing the page’s 19 links, each answering 200

Siteline

Siteline is a Chrome extension that shows what’s wrong with the SEO of the page you’re on.

Checking a page’s SEO usually means view-source, DevTools, and a few separate tools, one question at a time. Siteline answers them in Chrome’s side panel. Open it on any page and it says whether Google can index it, and if not, why. It measures the title and description in pixels, the unit Google cuts them by, and lists what’s wrong, with anything that blocks indexing first.

Press Run checks and it requests every link on the page, showing the code each redirect answered with and where it went. Read the head tags, headings, images, hreflang and structured data, with schema checked against Google’s rich result rules for 20 types. Mark nofollow, sponsored and ugc links right on the page, or hold Shift and drag across a page of Google results to open every link in its own tab. It’s free and needs no account.

Where the apps come from

From the heart, really. Each one began with something Nik (the guy behind Skadar Studio), or someone near him kept running into until it was simpler to just build the fix.

The whole ethos is that if something is worth building, it's worth building for everyone.

The name

Nik’s father, Pero, came from Lukići, a small village in Gornji Šestani (in the Bar region of Montenegro). It sits on the lake side of Rumija, the mountain between the sea at Bar and Lake Skadar.

Skadar Studio is based in Scottsdale, Arizona, a long way from Montenegro. However, one’s origin stories shape a person, and the name is a reminder of where Nik’s family comes from, and where a big part of his heart is.
