## What is PÖKITT?

Every drummer talks about the pocket. PÖKITT shows you exactly where yours is.

Play along and PÖKITT listens to every hit, then shows you, live and to the millisecond, whether you're ahead of the beat, behind it, or dead center. When the song ends you get a score, a timeline of every hit, and a coach that tells you what to fix.

SEE EVERY HIT LAND
Four neon beat lines, one for each beat of the bar. Every hit lands on its line: left is early, right is late. Watch your time tighten up in real time.

PICK WHERE YOU SIT
Not every groove lives on the grid. Choose ON TOP to drive it, DEAD CENTER for machine-tight, or LAY BACK for that behind-the-beat feel. PÖKITT scores you against the pocket you're going for.

SCORE YOUR POCKET
• SITTING: how far ahead or behind you live
• LOCK: how steady you are
• IN THE POCKET: how many hits landed where you aimed
• A timeline of every hit and a chart of where they landed
• Coach tips: rushing, dragging, drifting in the gaps, speeding up

10 GROOVES. NO DRUMS.
Gospel, boom bap, neo soul, funk, Motown, trap half-time, blues shuffle, bossa, house and Afrobeats. You're the drummer. Set any tempo, or turn on GUIDE DRUMS to hear the groove first.

PLAY YOUR OWN SONGS
Import a song and PÖKITT maps the tempo and every beat, then scores you against the record. Preview the beat grid with a click and fine-tune it to the millisecond.

DROP OUT
The band cuts out for two bars. Keep playing. PÖKITT shows whether your inner clock rushed or dragged in the silence.

BUILT FOR E-KITS
Plug your electronic kit in over USB or connect a Bluetooth MIDI kit. Every drum gets its own score, so you'll see when your kick sits 12ms behind a dead-on snare. KIT CHECK lights up each pad as you hit it, TEACH PADS maps any kit, and KIT SOUNDS gives silent practice pads a voice.

PAD MODE FOR PRACTICE PADS
A practice pad is 20–30 dB quieter than a drum. Turn on PAD MODE and PÖKITT listens with the raw mic, turns the mic up, listens deeper, and tunes the hit detector for the short tock of a pad, so fast doubles and ghost notes count. SET PAD LEVEL listens to your room and your pad for a few seconds and sets the sensitivity for you.

PRACTICE ANYWHERE
No kit? Use the TAP PAD and work on your inner clock on the bus.

DEAD ACCURATE
A 10-second SYNC TEST measures your phone and headphones' audio delay, so your scores are exact. Works with the mic, e-kits and wired or USB-C headphones.

LEVEL UP
XP, levels from PRACTICE PAD to LEGEND, day streaks and 16 badges keep you in the woodshed.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
No account. No ads. No tracking. Audio is analyzed on your phone and never saved or sent anywhere.

TRY IT FREE
Everything is unlocked free for 3 days. Nothing is charged and nothing renews. After that, a one-time $2.99 unlock keeps you playing forever.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-18

PAD MODE: practice pads are quiet, and now PÖKITT hears every stroke.

• PAD MODE switch in SETUP, KIT CHECK, and under INPUT → MIC on every setup screen. Raw mic with no phone processing, the bottom mic turned up, and a hit detector tuned for a pad: listens 12 dB deeper, fast doubles count, room rumble doesn't.
• SET PAD LEVEL: stay quiet for 2 seconds, hit the pad 8 times, and PÖKITT sets the sensitivity itself: low enough for ghost notes, safely above the room.
• A live HITS HEARD counter that flashes on every hit.
• Each mode remembers its own sensitivity, so switching back to a real kit restores your kit setting.
• PRACTICE PADS section in the guide.

With PAD MODE off, everything works exactly as before.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-09-16

No release notes.
