Notecube turns rhythm into a game you play with one finger. A cube hops down a wall of platforms in time with the music: tap the moment it lands, keep your finger down while it slides along a long platform, and leave the empty gaps silent — they are rests. READ WHAT YOU PLAY A card at the top of the screen shows the current bar in real notation — quarters, eighths, sixteenths, dotted notes, ties and rests — and lights up each note as you hit it. NEXT shows the bar that is coming. Play for a while and reading rhythm stops being a chore. THE MUSIC GROWS WITH YOU Every tap is judged Perfect, Great, Good or Miss. Keep a run of precise hits going and the music builds layer by layer: chords, bass, drums, arpeggio. Slip, and a layer drops away. A COURSE FROM THE FIRST BEAT 30 lessons in 5 chapters: Pulse · Long and Short · Eighth Notes · Dots and Ties · Sixteenth Notes. Each chapter ends with a checkpoint: the chapter's song, then three «Guess» questions — you hear a bar and pick the rhythm you heard. Already play an instrument? A short level test lets you start further along. 12 CLASSICAL SONGS Ode to Joy, Für Elise, Pachelbel's Canon, Turkish March, In the Hall of the Mountain King, Swan Lake, Habanera, Can-Can and more. Every song and lesson has Easy, Normal and Hard tempos, plus an Extra mode that opens with three stars on Hard. EIGHT CHALLENGES • Rhythm Ladder — from 1 to 7 notes per beat, and from rung 5 the tempo climbs. • Level 1→9 — nine one-bar levels, each harder than the last. • Speed-Up — one groove, 8 BPM faster every loop, up to 296 BPM. • No Metronome — the click falls silent for longer and longer: keep the tempo on your own. • Echo — the cube plays a bar, you play it back from memory. • Off the Beat — play only between the clicks: on the “and”, on “e” and “a”, then triplets. • Survival — an endless stream of bars, faster every 4 bars; the third miss ends the run. • 3 Against 2 — two rhythms at once: 3:2, 5:2, 4:3, 5:4, 7:4. KNOW YOUR TIMING After every run you see your accuracy, stars, longest streak and whether you rush or drag — in milliseconds. A 16-click sound calibration measures your phone's audio delay (Bluetooth headphones too). ALSO • A half-minute warm-up on first launch, no sign-up • No account, no ads • Plays without an internet connection • Light and dark themes, haptics on every tap • 12 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Japanese, Korean For music students, beginners learning to count, drummers and anyone who wants steadier timing.
