Noteling

Free, offline and private. No account, no adverts, no purchases, and no data collected: nothing leaves your device unless you share a file. Noteling listens while you play or sing, hears the note and writes it on the staff. Then it teaches you to read sheet music through short games, from your very first note to reading whole tunes. For any instrument, or the voice. HEAR IT, WRITE IT - Listen & Write: play or sing, and watch your notes appear as sheet music, one note at a time. - Choose a tempo, a time signature, a clef and a key, with a metronome while you play, or play freely. - Save your tunes in the app. Share one as a MusicXML or MIDI file whenever you choose. - See whether each note is in tune, and by how many cents. LEARN BY PLAYING - 15 kinds of game, each a few minutes long: Which note is this?, Find it, Play it, Which did you hear?, Flash, Note rush, How long is it?, Tap the beat, Key signatures, Intervals, Tunes in time, and more. - Every new note is heard before you drill it. You read by landmarks and steps, not by counting lines. - A few notes at a time: a new one arrives when the ones you know are right and quick. - Lessons aim at about four right answers in five: hard enough to learn, easy enough to keep going. - Notes you have learned come back for review just before they start to fade. - Hop along: Kiko the frog sits on a note; play it and Kiko hops to the next. YOUR PATH - Sound and the staff first: high and low, steps and skips, lines and spaces. - Then the notes, from middle C and the clef landmarks outwards, with a short tune in each unit. - Rhythm as its own track: beat and note lengths, rests, dots, eighth notes, 3/4 and 2/4. - Ledger lines, sharps and flats, key signatures, intervals, and reading tunes: waiting for each note, then in time, then reading ahead. - Your instrument sets the clef: treble, bass, alto, or both for piano. Piano has 92 short lessons; other instruments 52 to 57. - Know some of it already? A two-minute check finds your starting point, and each unit has a check you can take to skip it. STARS, NOT PRESSURE - One to three stars for every lesson you finish, never zero. Levels and badges mark milestones. - A daily goal of 3, 5, 10 or 15 minutes, and a weekly goal of days practised. - No lives, no hearts. A bad day quietly gets easier. MADE FOR YOUR INSTRUMENT Piano or keyboard, voice, guitar, bass guitar, ukulele, violin, viola, cello, flute, recorder, clarinet, trumpet, alto and tenor saxophone, French horn, trombone, or anything else at concert pitch. Transposing instruments are written the way their music is printed. No instrument yet? Answer on the screen. HOW IT LISTENS It hears one note at a time: a melody, not chords. It works best in a quiet room with the device about an arm's length from your instrument. Tuning and microphone sensitivity can be set in Settings. QUIET BY DESIGN - Works offline. Nothing leaves your device unless you share a file. - The microphone is on only while a listening screen or a playing game is open. The sound is analysed on your device as it arrives and is never recorded, saved or sent. Only the notes it hears are kept, on your device. - No account, no adverts, no tracking, no analytics, no purchases. - Progress, stars and saved tunes stay on your device and go when you delete the app. Settings can save a copy as a file and load it on another device. - Nothing in the app opens a website or a store. THREE LANGUAGES English, Russian and Georgian. The app starts in your device's language and has its own language menu. Note names as letters (C D E) or fixed Do (Do Re Mi), your choice. Made by RaiseSteady. For iPhone and iPad, iOS and iPadOS 17 or later.
