Can be set to display horizontally on th iPad.
draw 6 lines parallel and horizontal for strings
draw vertical lines for frets
choose a scale EG the major scale. You know how it is structured, TTSTTTS, where T = Tone, 2 frets and S = SemiTone, 1 fret.
Start on the lowest (6th) string, at the end nearest the nut, and put R (root) on the lowest fret. Then put 2, two frets up, then 3, two frets up from that, then 4 on the next fret. Populate the whole string with that scale as far as you've drawn it.
Move to the next (5th) string. You know that the interval between the 6th and 5th strings is a 4th, so on the 5th string you put 4 on the same fret where you put 1 on the 6th string. Add 5 two frets up, 6 two frets up from that, 7 two frets up from that and then you're back to R one fret up. Continue up that string 2,3,4 etc for as far as you've drawn it.
Move to the 4th string. On the same fret as the Root on the sixth string is a b7, you need a maj7, so 1 fret up from where you put the root on the 6th string is the maj 7th and one fret higher than that is the root that is one octave up from the one on the 6th string. Continue up that string 2,3,4 etc.
Similar for the remaining strings.
Observe that (i) the pattern repeats itself 12 frets up from where you started (ii) the pattern on the 1st string is the same as that on the 6th - but 2 octaves higher (iii) when you cross from a lower string to the one higher the pattern is the same but shifted left by a few frets.

If you have a PC and a printer - suggest getting some software and print your own. I use Neck diagrams and can do chords / scales, chords or ideas for songs\chord progressions, etc its very flexible in how you can display information, so you van make it work for your learning style..

Hers an example of how I'm using it comparing major to minor pentatonic relationship and the CAGED chords ignore the G Minor error it should be Gb minor

This is one I did to look at note options for Little Wing chord progression
Heres my mapping of Pentatonic scale to Minor mode notes - in a similar horizontal format to what the OP wanted.
I bought the full version (with auto scale generation) but its been the best £35 Ive ever spent on "tuition".

I would recommend this course: https://truefire.com/guitar-lessons/dna-pentatonics/c1230.
David is a great guy with lots of insights, all lessons are with tabs. Just playing scales without understanding them is the key to...robotic playing.
1...2..4
And 1...3...4
So that's E A D strings ..that scale will start from the Maj 7 ...or locrian mode or whatever
I think it's a good idea to learn scales in one octave first then link them ...not learn them 2 or 3 octaves straight away ..
This one has been recommended on here before somewhere: https://www.fretflip.com/
You can select a scale, customise it, email it to yourself to print off etc.
Shows all scales horizontally.
For traditional shapes check: https://grunfy.com/scaler.html there are also "interval" based shapes (pentanizer/modenizer).
Arpeggios are bit hidden in the tools section https://grunfy.com/tools/arpeggios.html
Use buttons at the bottom of the diagrams to show/hide shapes and switch between notes/interval view. R button will show you relative major/minor scale (e.g. pentatonic Am highlights C as relative major scale, same notes, just different tonic/root note). Settings are saved between the visits (if you use same browser).
NOTE: not very mobile friendly so use desktop if possible.
I hope it is not relevant for you anymore, at least, I hope you progressed well in the meantime ;-)
cheers
edit: demo
Most people look at them in bafflement but they make perfect sense for me.
