About

Hyoshi

Features
Read full description

Hyoshi is a small rhythm app for Apple Watch that lets you feel rhythmic meters through haptics and tap them back. It is not a music game that depends on watching the screen. You feel the sample rhythm on your wrist, then return the timing with simple taps. Hyoshi includes short patterns based on meters such as 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, and 12/8. Some patterns include longer beats and rests, so you can feel rhythm through timing and space rather than sound. On Apple Watch, you feel the sample rhythm and tap the screen to answer. On iPhone, you can adjust the tempo and haptic strength. Main features: Rhythm samples using Apple Watch haptics Tap-based rhythm input Subtle haptic and visual feedback for Good / Close results Meter patterns including 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, and 12/8 Longer beats and rests Tempo setting Haptic strength setting Japanese and English localization Hyoshi is designed for short moments when you want to feel rhythm quietly on your wrist.
