This week we get all private, with a new version of Dashlane, the official password manager of Cult of Mac, plus the Shhlack privacy tool for encrypting your Slack chats to keep them safe from your boss. And once that party is started, we start in with some music apps.

Fretbud is a fantastic app for guitarists, putting scales and arpeggios, and a circle of fifths, all together on one page. It’s the clearest, easiest-to-use guitar reference I’ve ever tried.
Price: $0.99

Menace Synth
Are you a fan of harsh yet rich-sounding chaos? Do you love yellow? Then Menace Synth will be right up your alley. Once you get past the eye-burning yellow background, Menace is possibly the most minimal synth app ever created. Just look at it:

Your boss may be reading your private Slack chat messages. Here’s how to encrypt those messages using a tool called Shhlack.
Shhlack is a message encryption service for slack. When you use it, you and your cohorts will be able to read each other’s messages, but when your boss goes into Big Brother mode and decides to take a sneaky look at whatever you’re saying behind her back, all she’ll see is gobbledegook.
