About this app

MyScale – Your Real-Time Visual Roadmap for Scales and Chords.

Whether you are performing on stage, practicing in the studio, or mastering new positions, MyScale transforms your device into a smart, distraction-free visual guide tailored for guitarists and pianists. By combining an advanced music theory engine with a unique mechanical Steampunk design, you get exactly the notes you need—at a glance.

What Makes MyScale the Perfect Tool for You?

🎸 Dynamic & Interactive Guitar Fretboard

Custom Zoom: Display 6, 9, or 12 frets at once for maximum readability.

Perfect Precision: Notes are centered between frets (not on the fret wires) for a natural playing experience.

True String Thickness: Progressive string display (from thick low E to thin high E) for quick orientation.

🎹 Landscape-Optimized Piano Keyboard

Realistic Proportions: Wide, clear keys with a 1:6 aspect ratio, eliminating the narrow "barcode" look.

3-Octave View: Fits 12 visible white keys on screen at once, with smooth horizontal scrolling for access to the full range.

🎤 Real-Time Acoustic Audio Recognition (Acoustic Dictation)

Play directly on your guitar or piano! The app listens to your live performance via microphone, analyzes the frequencies (optimized via separate processing), and automatically identifies your chords and scale.

📸 Optical Chord Scanner (OCR)

Snap a photo of a chord sheet or tabs, or upload an image from your gallery. The app extracts the chords instantly and analyzes the most fitting scale for the song.

🏆 Smart Triad Trainer

Hands-free Active Practice Mode: The app displays a target triad and waits for you to play it. Once you strike the correct notes, you receive "golden" visual feedback and automatically advance to the next challenge.

👑 Clear Musical Visual Hierarchy

Root Notes: Maximum size with a dominant gold/amber glow.

3rd and 5th Degrees: Differentiated by vibrant cyan and deep blue shades to instantly identify chord quality (Major/Minor) and the tonal anchor.

Remaining Scale Notes: Blended into the background with a unique, neutral "gear" design.

🛡️ Live Performance Ready

Landscape Orientation Lock: Automatic launch in landscape for convenient use on a stand.

Stay-Awake (Wakelock): Screen remains on and will not dim or sleep while you play.

Total Privacy: Operates 100% locally on your device. No data collection, no tracking, and no external server uploads for audio or images.
