A piano you can actually play with both hands. GoPiano opens straight onto the keyboard. No menu, no setup, no account — touch a key and it sounds. PLAY • Multi-touch keys: hold a chord, slide between notes, play with both hands • How hard a note sounds depends on where you strike the key • A sustain pedal, for letting notes ring • One to three octaves depending on your screen, and shift the range with a tap • Note names on the keys, until you no longer need them RECORD • Tap record and play. Tap again to stop. • Play it back on the keyboard itself and watch the keys light up exactly as you pressed them • Keep the take or scrub it and go again KEEP AND SHARE • Saved melodies stay on your device and show up in the Files app, under GoPiano • Share the audio anywhere — Messages, Mail, AirDrop, anything that takes a file • Or export a video of the keyboard playing your melody back, keys lighting up, audio underneath. It is drawn fresh rather than screen-recorded, so there is no status bar, no fingers in the way and nothing to crop. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • No account, no sign-in, no tracking, no analytics • No microphone access. GoPiano records its own sound from inside the app, so it never asks to listen to the room. • Nothing you play leaves your device unless you share it yourself Piano samples from the Piano FF pack by jobro on Freesound, used under CC BY 3.0 and modified.
