Stop guessing which track to play next. KeyBridge is the key reference tool built for DJs who want their sets to sound more polished - without memorizing music theory. Here's what the smoothest DJ sets have in common: the tracks share compatible keys. When the next track flows musically from the last one, every transition feels right. When it doesn't, something feels off - even if you can't explain why. KeyBridge gives you the rule in one tap. --- HOW IT WORKS --- Pick the key of your current track. KeyBridge instantly shows you three ways to go next: COUNTERCLOCKWISE (-1) - Bring it down. One step down the wheel. RELATIVE - Switch the mood. Same root, flip between major and minor. CLOCKWISE (+1) - Lift the crowd. One step up the wheel. Tap any suggestion to jump there. Chain transitions. Plan your whole set in minutes. --- WHY DJs LOVE IT --- - Works 100% offline - no signal, no lag on stage - Zero learning curve - tap and go, even mid-set - Full 24-key wheel (12 major + 12 minor) - Built for speed - 15-second auto-return keeps you focused - Haptic feedback - feel the response in your palm - Designed to disappear in the booth - dark interface keeps your eyes adjusted and the atmosphere intact - Retro DJ-hardware aesthetic that looks right next to your gear - iPhone and iPad - use it in the booth, the bedroom, or the bus --- WHO IT'S FOR --- Beginners: Finally understand why some transitions work and others don't. Build your first key-matched set with confidence. Intermediate DJs: Stop relying on memory during live sets. Read the crowd, not your notes. Producers & Remixers: Find compatible keys for mashups, bootlegs, and edits in seconds. --- FREE AND PRO --- KeyBridge is free to download. Free includes the full 24-key wheel, the three core moves (Counterclockwise, Relative, Clockwise), the Spectrum Drive theme and Keep Screen Awake. KeyBridge Pro is a one-time purchase that adds the advanced moves (Diagonal -1 / +1, +5 Lift, +7 Shift), all three colour themes and every auto-return option. No subscription. --- THE PROMISE --- Follow KeyBridge's suggestions for one set. You'll hear the difference immediately. Your transitions will feel tighter, your energy arcs will land, and the dancefloor will stay with you longer. This isn't a theory app. It's a live-performance companion. --- Built by a working DJ for working DJs. No ads. No subscriptions. No data collection. Ever.

Draw a mountain. Hear a sound climb its slope, rest a moment at the top, then come slowly down. You don't need to read music. In Drawtone, music starts with a line: drag a finger across the paper and it plays before the line is even finished. Whatever you draw is in tune; every line lands in the scale you chose. A long line is one long sound. Not a stutter of beeps; a sound that lasts like a breath and bends wherever your line bends. COLOUR IS THE SOUND A warm colour strikes like a string. A cool colour stretches like a bow. Six voices, six colours; stack them up and they never drown each other, each stays in its own place. OPEN A WATERFALL, THEN DRAW YOUR OWN Fifty drawings from nature are waiting inside. The waterfall is a marimba pouring down. The fireflies are single touches lighting up in the dark. The crane is one long line in Nihavend. Open one, listen, leave your own line on it. Your own drawing is not lost: undo brings it back, key and tempo included. DRAW HICAZ Hicaz, Uşşak, Nihavend, Hüzzam, Saba: the Turkish makams sit in the same list as the Western scales, not hidden in a submenu. The same line is a morning in Lydian and an evening in Hüzzam. THE PULSE The dot in the header beats with what you hear. Tap it: tempo, rhythm, swing. If you like, a light drum kit holds the floor underneath. Off by default; the first thing you should hear is your own line. SEND IT TO SOMEONE Share what you drew as WAV, or take it as MIDI and grow it in any other music app. No account, no ads, nothing to unlock. Every scale, every voice, every export is included. Works without internet. 19 languages. Draw a line. The rest follows.
