EarLab vs Playtime

EarLab is a focused ear training app designed for musicians who want to improve pitch, rhythm, and musical awareness through structured practice. The app provides targeted exercises for: • Relative pitch training • Interval recognition • Rhythm and timing • Internal pulse and tempo control Each module is designed to be simple, intentional, and distraction-free, allowing you to concentrate fully on listening and response. No unnecessary gamification. Just clear exercises and steady progress.

It's not practice — it's Playtime. Pull apart real songs by ear, write your own progressions, and sharpen your ears and reading with an arcade of games that actually teach. LEARN SONGS BY EAR Record or import any audio, then slow it way down without changing the pitch. Loop the tricky bars, bookmark the moments that matter, shift the key to match your instrument, and learn it phrase by phrase — the way musicians have always done, minus the rewinding. WRITE MUSIC Build progressions on an interactive circle of fifths and hear every chord as you tap it. Save ideas as chord charts, keep lyrics with chords over the words, transpose for capo in one tap, and organize everything into setlists for the band.
