## What is Sheetly?

Sheetly is a sheet music scanner with an AI coach built in: point your phone at any score and hear it play. Ever stare at a new piece and have no idea how it's supposed to sound? Or lose the tempo halfway through because counting just isn't clicking? Sheetly fixes that.

Point your camera at any sheet music and Sheetly plays it back to you. Hear the piece before you play it, slow it down while you learn it, and loop the exact bars you keep messing up until they stick.

And when you're unsure about a note — what it is, how it's played, what position or fingering to use — just ask. Sheetly's built-in AI coach reads your score and answers instantly, like having a teacher in your pocket.

WHAT SHEETLY DOES
• Scan sheet music with your camera — it turns into playable, interactive notation
• Hear any piece played back, at any tempo
• Loop tricky sections until they're muscle memory
• Change the playback instrument
• Ask the AI coach about notes, rhythms, keys, positions, and anything else in your score
• Import MusicXML files directly

FREE AND PRO
Free: play, loop and record the starter scores, and scan one page a month.
Pro: unlimited scans, unlimited AI coach questions, export to PDF, MIDI and MusicXML, and MusicXML import. Every score comes with three free coach questions.

WHO IT'S FOR
Whether you're a student learning your first pieces, playing in a school band or orchestra, or coming back to an instrument after years away — if you read sheet music, Sheetly makes practice faster and less frustrating.

Sheetly was built by a teenage trombonist who was tired of losing count and forgetting positions. It's the practice tool I wished existed, so I made it.

Your music, understood.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-19

Sheetly speaks nineteen languages now, and it takes yours from the phone.

• Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, Turkish and Vietnamese — every screen, every prompt and every answer from the coach. Pick one in Settings, or let it follow the phone.
• VoiceOver reads the whole app now, the player and the library included, and rows no longer shear at large text sizes.
• Delete a score or a take and you have a few seconds to undo it.
• A practice reminder opens the piece it names, a link opens the score it points at, and a page or a MusicXML file can be sent to Sheetly straight from Files or Mail.
• A locked screen stays locked when you leave the app and come back, a scan you left waiting shows its result the moment you return, and search finds "Fur Elise" when the score says "Für Elise".

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-14

The playhead follows your finger now, and the page turns before you get there.

• Drag the playhead and feel every note go past — a bar of sixteenths is dense, a held note is empty.
• Drag the progress bar to jump anywhere in a piece, and hold the tempo buttons to run the dial from 40 to 200.
• The page turns ahead of the bar you're playing, so the notes stay clear of the controls.
• The AI coach opens with facts from your own score — "Bar 12 — leap of a 5th" — instead of the same suggestions on every piece.
• A new launch screen that's gone sooner, a count-in at your own tempo, bigger buttons to hit, and smaller repairs all through the app.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-12

Your page plays — and now it's obvious what comes next.

• A clear Continue once your page starts playing, on iPhone and iPad.
• "Hear a demo first" now plays the demo instead of opening the camera.
• Fixed: scanning during setup could spend your free monthly scan, and could even block a second page.
• The AI coach explains more — how to count a bar, why a passage is hard, and what to practice first.
• Clearer practice and trial reminders, and the real app icon in the preview.
• Small fixes to sign-in and the coach chat.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-09

Scan first, sign in later — and a free scan every month.

• A new first run: photograph a page of music and hear it play before anything else. No account is needed to start one.
• The free plan now includes one scan a month and three coach questions on every score, on top of playing, looping and recording the pieces that come with the app.
• The free trial on the yearly plan is now 7 days, with a reminder before it ends so nothing renews by surprise.
• Repeats and line breaks play gaplessly — notes ring out instead of being cut off.
• Scanning is steadier: a clearer wait screen, honest messages when the server is busy, and progress that never runs backwards.
• Fixes to sign-in, the subscription screen and saving a scanned score.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-04

No release notes.
