Notalune shows the name of every note, right on your own sheet music. Point your iPhone or iPad at printed sheet music and Notalune overlays the note names directly above the notes: English (C D E F G A B), German and Czech (C D E F G A H), solfège (do re mi) or Japanese katakana (ド レ ミ). No typing, no searching, no flipping through theory books. BUILT ON TRUST Notalune follows one rule: blank beats wrong. If it is not sure about a note, it leaves it unnamed instead of guessing. One tap on the traffic light shows how confident every name is (green, orange, red). Every scan starts with a quick clef check, and any name can be corrected in two taps. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Quick reading: point at one measure or a whole page and get the names in seconds. Nothing to create first; keep the reading or let it go • Any measure opens in place, with practice, editing, re-reading and sharing tools around it • Pieces: build your own library, piece by piece, measure by measure • Whole pages: photograph a full page or import a scan, map its measures, and read them one tap at a time • PDF import: title, composer and tempo fill in from the file, and every measure reads itself in while you watch • Open in Notalune: send a PDF from Mail, Files or WhatsApp straight into the app • Octave numbers, if you want them: c¹ c² in the Central European style, C4 C5 elsewhere • Annotated page: the assembled page with every name in place; practice from it with pinch-zoom and free pan • Print and share: export the annotated page or the whole piece as a PDF (Pro) • Metronome: a real mechanical metronome with tap tempo, free and unlimited • Corrections: fix any name, change the clef or key, or revert; uncertain notes are easy to spot FOR REAL SHEET MUSIC From method books and first songbooks up to harder repertoire. Recognition works best on printed music photographed up close, one measure at a time. In My Sheet Music you can assemble and read whole pages, measure by measure. A SCAFFOLD, NOT A CRUTCH The names are made to be hidden. In practice mode, tap a single name to hide just that note and test yourself. Tap again to reveal it, or bring them all back at once. The goal is the day you read without Notalune. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. Photos are processed on-device and stored only in the app. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. The app never connects to the internet. If you opt in to help improve recognition, correction snippets are stored locally on your device; you decide if and when to share them, manually. FREE AND PRO Free: 10 quick readings in total, 3 pieces with one page each, the full metronome, practice mode, and every reading and correction tool. The 10 readings are a one-off allowance, not a daily quota - nothing resets, and nothing expires. Pro: Notalune Pro is a one-time purchase - no subscription, no trial to expire - that removes the limits and adds printing & sharing of annotated PDFs. Family Sharing included. IPHONE AND IPAD One purchase covers both. On iPad the reading page shows at close to print size, so you can play straight from the stand. LANGUAGES Seven: English, Czech, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Japanese. Note naming in English (B), German and Czech (H), solfège, or Japanese katakana. The naming follows your choice, not your phone's language: a fixed-do player keeps do re mi on an English phone. Notalune reads notes so you can play them. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Notalune Pro | $9.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-23 1.2.1 • More accurate accidentals: a natural after a sharp, and sharps in chords, are read as written • Notes on ledger lines are read at the right pitch; text and tempo marks are no longer mistaken for notes • Print and export: names sit beside the notes exactly as in the app, on a transparent chip, with print settings under Share • "Tell us what to improve" in Settings — a sent message earns 10 extra readings once • Importing a whole page on the free plan asks before it reads ### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-13 New in 1.2: • Octave numbers: switch them on in Settings to see which C is which (c¹ c² in the Central European style, C4 C5 elsewhere) • Open in Notalune: send a PDF from Mail, Files or WhatsApp straight into the app • Printed and exported names now follow the name size you chose • The screen stays on while a page is open, so it does not dim on the music stand • Name placement: keep the names at the notes, or put them in a row above or below the staff so the notation stays fully visible • A photo of a whole page from your library now opens as a page, with every measure • Whole-page capture uses the system document scanner: automatic edges and straightening, several pages in one go ### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-02 Sheet music in sharp and flat keys now reads correctly all the way across the page. New in this version: • Change the clef and key signature for a whole page at once, straight from the page view. • After importing a PDF, Notalune shows you the clef and key it read so you can confirm it before you play. You can turn the question off. Also improved: • Steadier note names on dense music with heavy beams. • Cleaner labels where a note sits on a bar line. • More notes named, fewer left blank. ### 1.0.0 — 2026-08-10 No release notes. ## Related topics [Notescan](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/notescan) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
