Perfect pitch
Pitch
Hear one note and name it. Start with C and G, finish with all twelve notes in any octave.
CGEF♯B
Sound familiar?
Years of tabs and YouTube, and you still can't play by ear.
You can play a song once someone shows you where your fingers go. Hear a riff you like, though, and you're back to searching "chords for…". That's not a talent problem. Your eyes got all the training. Your ears got none.
Playing by eye
- Every new song means a new tutorial
- Major or minor? You guess
- Jamming with other people feels risky
- You figure you're just "not musical"
Playing by ear
- You hear a chord change and find it yourself
- Major sounds bright, minor sounds dark, and you can tell
- Someone says "it's a I–V–vi–IV" and you're in
- You know it's a skill, because you're training it
Nobody is born reading chords off a recording. It's trained.
How it works
Five minutes. Ten questions. One new sound at a time.
1
Listen
Tap play and a real grand piano plays a note, an interval, a chord, a progression or a scale. Too quick? Hit 0.5×.
2
Pick what you heard
Right answers earn XP. A wrong one costs a heart, and that question comes back before the lesson ends.
3
Make it stick
Every new sound comes with a hook from a song you already know. Then tap any answer to hear it next to the right one.
What you'll train
Five skills, one path
Each skill starts with just two sounds and adds more as you get them right.
Relative pitch
Intervals
Hear the distance between two notes, going up, going down or played together. Minor 2nd all the way to the octave.
Minor 3rdPerfect 5thOctave
Harmony
Chords
Major or minor first. Then diminished, augmented, sus chords and the sevenths that make jazz sound like jazz.
MajorMinorDominant 7th
Songs
Progressions
The chord moves behind pop, rock and jazz. Hear where a song is going before it gets there.
I–V–vi–IVI–IV–V–Iii–V–I
Color
Scales
Major, the three minors, pentatonic, blues and the modes. Bright, dark, bluesy or Spanish, you'll know it.

Then mix it up
Daily workout
Ten sounds pulled from every skill you've started, so the old ones stay sharp while you learn new ones.
Why you'll keep opening it
It plays like a game. It works like practice.
A path, not a pile
Short lessons in order. Finish one and the next one opens.
Streaks
Practice once a day to keep the flame going. Pick 5 to 20 minutes and get a daily reminder.
XP
10 XP a lesson, 5 more if you don't miss a single one.
Hearts
Five per lesson. Run out and you start over, so you listen instead of guessing.
Trickiest sounds
The app keeps score of the sounds you miss most and drills just those.
Progress you can see
Accuracy for every skill, today's goal and your week at a glance.
The idea behind it
Why little and often works
Ear training is pattern recognition. Patterns stick when you meet them often, in small doses, and hear them side by side. That's the whole method.
Spaced repetition
Old sounds keep coming back in new lessons and daily workouts, so they don't fade while you learn the next ones.
Contrast
A minor 3rd makes the most sense right next to a major 3rd. After every answer you can play the options back to back.
Ear first
You hear a sound before you learn its name. Theory stays to one line and a song you already know.
Short sessions
Ten questions take a few minutes. A session you finish every day beats a long one you keep putting off.
No made-up studies here. Try it for days and judge with your own ears.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Perfect pitch or relative pitch: which one does it train?
Both. The Pitch skill drills naming single notes with no reference, which is what people mean by perfect pitch. Intervals, chords, progressions and scales train relative pitch: hearing how notes relate to each other. Relative pitch is what most musicians use to play by ear.
Straight talk: adults can get a lot better at naming notes, but whether an adult can build full perfect pitch is still debated. We won't promise it.
Do I need to know music theory or read music?
No. Every sound gets a plain name and a hook from a song you know. You never have to read sheet music.
Which instrument do I need?
None. The app plays a sampled grand piano and you tap your answers. What you train carries over to guitar, piano, bass, voice, producing, whatever you play.
How much time does it take?
A lesson is 10 questions and takes a few minutes. You set a daily goal of 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes. Five a day is a good start.
How soon will I notice a difference?
The first lessons only ask you to tell two sounds apart, so you'll get answers right on day one. After that it depends on where you start and how often you practice. Five minutes every day beats an hour once a week.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The piano lives inside the app, so lessons work on a plane or in a basement. You only need a connection to start or restore a subscription.
Is it free?
The download is free. Training needs a subscription: yearly at with days free, or weekly at . Those are the real prices, listed right here before you download.
How do I cancel?
On iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → → Cancel. Do it at least 24 hours before your trial ends and you pay nothing.
On Android: open Google Play, tap your profile picture → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → → Cancel.
We send a reminder before the trial runs out.
Is it OK for kids?
Yes. No ads, no chat, no account to create. If your kid can read the answer buttons, they can play. A parent should set up the subscription.
Is it on Android?
Yes. It's coming to both Google Play and the App Store, with the same lessons on each. On iPhone you'll need iOS 17 or later.
