## What is TaikoTrainer?

Taiko Trainer brings precise rhythm practice, kuchi-shōga composition, conditioning, and meditation into one focused app.

START FROM MITSUDOMOE HOME
Open Practice, Creator or Viewer, and Prepare from three clear destinations. Browse the Store without leaving your current screen or interrupting practice. Prefer Quickview and the familiar tabs? Choose that layout in Settings.

PRACTICE WITH PRECISION
Choose a jiuchi, load a song, and train against one exact clock. Set the tempo up to 250 BPM, select a loop directly on the beat track, and navigate long arrangements with an interactive song map. Playback continues in the background with Now Playing and lock-screen controls. An optional Custom Metronome Live Activity adds tempo controls.

CREATE KUCHI-SHŌGA
With an active Creator subscription, compose songs with their own words and sentences. Use named phrases, repeats, grouped rhythms, dynamics, tempo changes, tags, and compact display names. Save unfinished compositions, define missing parts, and preview an entire arrangement or selected beats once every part is ready. Viewer keeps purchased and previously created songs readable when Creator is inactive.

CONTROL PRACTICE FROM APPLE WATCH
Start or stop jiuchi and song playback independently, adjust tempo with the Digital Crown, and follow a beat indicator derived from iPhone playback. Body and Mind timers show your session on the Watch, with a shared Stop action. Body adds countdown haptic cues before exercise transitions and completion. Audio and sessions remain on the paired iPhone.

TRAIN THE WHOLE PRACTICE
Run a guided two-minute circuit with precise 40-second Abs, Arms, and Legs intervals, spoken transitions, and countdowns. Choose an Apple Music playlist and Taiko Trainer automatically lowers the music for announcements.

RECOVER WITH INTENTION
Set a meditation duration, choose an optional playlist, and begin and finish with a soft ding. Music fades gradually before the closing silence.

EXPAND YOUR LIBRARY
The Store offers prepared practice songs, sold separately, and monthly or annual auto-renewing Creator subscriptions for composing and editing. No account is required. Your custom kuchi-shōga library stays on your device.
