Turn your iPhone or iPad into a kalimba, for free. In Free play, choose 17 keys or a two-row, 34-key chromatic keyboard. Tap notes, glide between keys, and play chords with several fingers. Play as long as you like: Free play has no time limit and needs no purchase. Practice with your own 17-key kalimba in C, too. Follow falling notes and keys labeled C, D, E, and more, at your own pace. The app and its help are available in English and Japanese. PLAY FREELY Choose Free play in the library and start playing immediately. It opens with 17 keys each time; use the switch at the bottom for 34 keys in two rows. Both keyboards, taps, slides, and chords are included for free. FOUR WAYS TO PRACTICE Look & Listen Hear the example and watch the notes to learn the shape of a song. Play Along Play the whole song with a quieter reference performance. Your on-screen keys sound at normal volume, so you can hear your own part. Call & Response Listen to two bars, then play them back. Counts between turns and steady clicks during your turn help you stay in time. Repeat a phrase and move on when you are ready. Wait for Me Notes wait at the play line until you play the right pitch. Use the microphone with your kalimba, or tap the on-screen keys. Chord notes disappear as you match them. Slide across neighboring keys without lifting your finger. TURN RECORDINGS INTO A DRAFT SCORE Record your kalimba or a whistled melody, or import an audio file to create a draft score. Transcribe up to 30 seconds per recording or imported file for free, or unlock up to 4 minutes with a one-time purchase. Imported files are read from the beginning, up to the same time limit. There is no limit on how often you transcribe. Analysis runs on your device. Results depend on the recording level and surrounding sounds; listen back and adjust the notes as needed. EDIT WITH YOUR FINGERS Select and move notes, drag their edges to change length, add chords, delete notes, and transpose the score. Edit in half-beat steps, adjust bar alignment, and zoom out to see the whole piece. On a larger iPad screen, view notation and the piano roll together. SAVE AND SHARE YOUR MUSIC • Adjust the practice tempo from 50% to 150%. • Save songs automatically on your device. • Share a single score from your library and add scores you receive. Original recordings are not included. • Export and import score backups as JSON files. • Save a named MP4 video of the practice guide. • Start with the example songs Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and Canon. START FREE, EXPAND WHEN YOU NEED TO Save up to five of your own songs for free. Built-in examples do not count toward this limit. Received scores and editable copies of examples do count. The Expand transcription & library purchase raises transcription to 4 minutes per recording or imported file and removes the saved-song limit. Pay once, with no subscription or per-song charge. Free play, all four practice modes, editing and sharing saved songs, and MP4 export are free. Score playback has no time limit. Restore the purchase using the same Apple Account. Audio analysis and recording storage take place on your device. There are no app accounts, ads, or tracking. Apple processes the optional in-app purchase. Practice, transcription, and score editing support a standard 17-key C kalimba. Requires iOS 18 or later on iPhone, or iPadOS 18 or later on iPad.
