Benot turns ear training into a game you actually come back to. Benot, a little singing note, plays you an interval, a chord, a scale degree or a short melody. You pick what you heard, or sing it back. Get it wrong and Benot lets you hear your answer and the right one side by side, because that contrast is how ears really learn. JOURNEY Four stages, 32 short levels, about two minutes each: • Intervals, from octaves to tritones, then inside a key. • Solfège: scale degrees after a cadence, in major and minor, ending with degrees you sing back. • Chords: major, minor, sevenths and inversions, then chords by their job in a key (I, IV, V, vi, ii) and what comes after I. • Melody: play back phrases of up to eight notes, with rhythm, in any key. A quick level test on first launch lets you skip what you already know. Finish every stage and Mastery opens: mixed, hard, 1.5× XP. PLAY • Survival: three lives, harder and faster every five right answers. • Daily challenge: one minute, the same set for everyone today, measured against your own last 30 days. • Sing it back: Benot plays, you sing, the mic shows how close you are with friendly tips (higher, lower, louder). LISTEN & LEARN A sound book for every interval, chord and degree: hear it, feel it, compare it with its look-alike, and earn a stamp with a 3-question check. IT REMEMBERS FOR YOU • Spaced repetition: what you learned comes back for a check-up after 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 days; what you miss comes back sooner. • Difficulty tunes itself per stage. • Daily goal and streak, with streak freezes that cover a missed day. • A Sunday recap with one real number about your ear, and a gentle daily reminder that stays quiet on days you've played. MADE TO FEEL GOOD • Real piano sound, plus organ, guitar and voice: pick one instrument or mix them for variety. • Playful feedback, XP, levels, badges and outfits for Benot. • Light and dark mode, English and Vietnamese. Works fully offline. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Your progress stays on your device. The microphone is used only while you sing; nothing is recorded or sent anywhere. ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.1.2 — 2026-10-01 • Full-screen instrument: on any sound's page, turn the phone sideways to play it on two octaves of piano or a big guitar neck, one hand shape at a time. • Every note is named: piano keys (black keys too) and round note buttons on each guitar string. The notes you are learning stand out in colour. • Reference songs start on your chosen note, and a tap plays or stops them. • Swiping over the keys now scrolls the page instead of playing a run of notes. • Pick your instrument: piano, organ, a real recorded classical guitar, voice, or a mix. With guitar, melodies are played and entered on a guitar neck. • Notes you tap now ring out, so playing a melody back sounds like music, not clicks. • Cleaner end screens: your score and rewards at a glance, and one tap on the tip shows the details, including the mix-ups to hear side by side. • Finishing a stage is celebrated right on the result. • Buddy's tips open only when you tap the bulb next to a level. • Smoother tabs when going back from a page. ### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-25 • Pick your instrument: piano, organ, a real recorded classical guitar, voice, or a mix. With guitar, melodies are played and entered on a guitar neck. • Notes you tap now ring out, so playing a melody back sounds like music, not clicks. • Cleaner end screens: your score and rewards at a glance, and one tap on the tip shows the details, including the mix-ups to hear side by side. • Finishing a stage is celebrated right on the result. • Buddy's tips open only when you tap the bulb next to a level. • Smoother tabs when going back from a page. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-25 A big update: • Sing it back: sing notes, intervals, degrees and short phrases, with a live pitch gauge and friendly tips.
