Learn Morse code the way fast operators actually learned it: by sound, never by chart. Morse Coach uses the century-proven Koch method: characters play at full speed from day one, starting with just two, and a new one unlocks each time you hold 90% accuracy. Farnsworth spacing gives you thinking room that automatically shrinks as you improve, until you're copying standard 20 WPM timing. • 10-minute daily sessions: warm-up, drill, sending, and a secret word • Only have 2 minutes? Quick copy, quick send, and short lesson drills • Mistakes teach: miss a character and the drill stops to show you its rhythm, and the rhythm of the one you confused it with • Real sending practice on a tap key or paddle, graded on rhythm quality, with an instant, click-free sidetone • Head copy: hold whole words in your mind, the step beyond letters • Contrast drills that target exactly the pairs you mix up • Simulated band conditions: static, fading, and interference. Train rough • Ham radio track: prosigns, Q-codes, callsigns, and a simulated QSO • Flashlight sender and camera light reader: talk across a dark room • Learn silently by vibration: the full course works entirely by feel • Streaks with earnable freezes, XP, mastery stars, and 10 badges Free forever: the complete coaching experience for your first 12 characters, including daily sessions, graded sending on key or paddle, contrast drills, translator, streaks and badges. Lifetime Unlock (one purchase): characters 13–40, the ham radio track, head copy, band conditions, and the camera light reader. Pay once, keep it forever. No subscription, ever. No account. No ads. No tracking. Your progress never leaves your device.
