Morse Trail

Read full description

Morse Trail turns learning Morse code into something you can see, hear, and feel. Most apps make you memorize a chart. Morse Trail builds the code into muscle memory by engaging four senses at once: you trace the path of each letter along an interactive Morse tree with your finger, while you hear the tone and feel every dot and dash through haptics. Sight, sound, touch, and motion reinforce each other β€” so the code sticks. LEARN BY TRACING The classic Morse tree, redesigned to fit on a single screen. Dots go left, dashes go right. Follow the path with your finger and your hand learns the rhythm. SIX WAYS TO PRACTICE β€’ Learn β€” trace new letters on the tree β€’ Listen β€” decode what you hear β€’ Key β€” tap out symbols yourself β€’ Words β€” build real words from the letters you know β€’ Challenge β€” beat the clock β€’ Review β€” smart spaced repetition brings back what you’re about to forget BUILT TO MAKE IT STICK β€’ A guided 15-step course from E and T to the full alphabet and numbers β€’ Spaced repetition schedules each review at the perfect moment β€’ XP, levels, and daily streaks keep you coming back β€’ Adjustable speed with Farnsworth timing β€” fast characters, comfortable gaps β€’ Real sidetone generated on device, plus precise Core Haptics ON YOUR APPLE WATCH Learn hands-free β€” and now without your iPhone at all. A dot is a quick tap; a dash is a long buzz β€” your wrist knows the difference by feel alone. Turn on Sound to hear every tone right on the watch. Practice with the Feel & Guess quiz, mirror playback from your iPhone in real time, and keep your streak on a watch-face complication. YOURS, PRIVATELY β€’ Works 100% offline β€” learn on a plane, on the trail, anywhere β€’ No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. β€’ Data Not Collected β€” everything stays on your device DESIGNED FOR iPHONE & iPAD Beautiful themes, full Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support, and a clean interface available in 12 languages.
