Swarlipi: Sargam Diary

Swarlipi is a notebook and practice partner for Hindustani music students. Write down what your teacher taught you in class, in the sargam notation you already use. Keep your classes, compositions and voice notes in one place, organised by date. Then practice them: hear them played back, sing them in time, and train your ear every day. WRITE SARGAM A keyboard built for Indian classical music. Tap for shuddha swars, hold for komal, tivra and all three octaves. The app knows which notes belong to your raga and only shows you those. Prefer Do Re Mi? Choose how swars are named, and add Western note names if you like. PLAY IT BACK Hear what you wrote, played on real harmonium samples at whatever tempo you choose, with a tanpura underneath if you want one. SING WHAT YOU WROTE Sing any composition along with the tanpura, in time. A live meter shows when you're a little high or a little low, and Learn mode takes you through it note by note. KEEP CLASS NOTES Every class gets a date, your notes, its compositions and voice recordings, so you never forget what your guru actually said. Homework stays on top until it's done. Deleted something by mistake? Undo it, or find it in Recently deleted for 30 days. TRAIN YOUR EAR A path of ear-training levels, chapter by chapter: hear a swar and name it, or sing it back. Daily riyaz, a streak with a free rest day each week, all at your own Sa. PIECES FROM EMON New compositions to learn, published straight to the app. Play them, follow along and sing them in time. FIND YOUR RAGA A time wheel showing which ragas belong to which hours of the day, the way the tradition intends. Turn the dial to explore, or see what fits right now. LEARN THE WORDS Not sure what vadi, matra or meend means? Tap the dotted word and Swarlipi explains it. TAALS INCLUDED Teentaal, Ektaal, Jhaptaal, Rupak, Dadra and Keherwa. RAGAS INCLUDED Twenty-one ragas with full aroha, avaroha, vadi, samvadi and the time of day each one belongs to. EVERYTHING SYNCS Your classes, compositions and voice notes sync across your devices through your own iCloud. They are never stored on anyone else's server. Swarlipi is free. Every feature listed above is free, with no limits and no ads. If you'd like to help keep it that way, you can leave a gift in Settings. Built by one person who plays tabla and wanted this to exist.
