About this app

Functional Ear Training — develop your musical ear in functional tonal context. No ads, works offline.

Designed for musicians, conservatory students, singers, jazz players and anyone who wants to train their relative pitch. Each exercise opens with a I-IV-V-I harmonic cadence that establishes the key — so you hear notes as scale degrees (the way the ear truly works in music), not as isolated pitches.

▌ 9 TRAINING MODES
★ Intervals — hear two notes, name the interval, cadence-anchored
★ Chords — major, minor, diminished, augmented, 7ths, sus, inversions (block or arpeggio)
★ Melodic dictation — reconstruct a 3-to-5-note melody in the given key
★ Singing mic — sing the target note, real-time pitch detection accurate to 50 cents
★ Rhythm — listen, then tap back the rhythm. Adjustable tempo and difficulty.
★ Progressions — hear a chord sequence, name each chord (I-vi-IV-V, etc.)
★ Cadences — authentic, plagal, deceptive, half
★ Modes — Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian
★ Prediction — guess the next chord in a progression, train your harmonic intuition

▌ COMPANION TOOLS
★ Instrument tuner accurate to the cent — built in, no need for a separate app
★ Pocket Mode — hands-free training while you walk, bike or commute, screen locked
★ 6 instruments — piano, violin, sax, trumpet, flute, guitar. The same notes sound different — your ear must know them all.

▌ FEATURES
★ 3 difficulty levels per mode (Beginner → Intermediate → Advanced)
★ Notation toggle: Do Re Mi (Latin) or C D E (English)
★ Adaptive selection — items you miss come back more often
★ Per-item statistics — see your strengths and weaknesses
★ Daily streak counter to keep you consistent
★ No ads, no tracking, works offline
