See the music. Keystitch trains the skill underneath every musical skill: a clear mental picture of the keyboard, so intervals, keys, and melodies stop being abstractions and start being shapes you can see. Most music education starts a few steps too advanced — past the hidden mental machinery that lets a lucky few learn so fast. Keystitch takes the other road: short, focused drills, served a couple of minutes at a time, that build durable skill with minimal wasted effort — in an app that adapts to what you can actually do, not what a lesson plan assumes. WHAT YOU'LL DO • Hear a sequence of notes and track them on your mental keyboard — then tap the note you landed on, or just say it. • Read intervals, keys, and clefs until notation feels like moves on a keyboard and not a strange language. • Hear a phrase and sing or speak it back in solfège, graded note by note. • Practice hands-free: eyes closed, prompts spoken, answers spoken back. HOW IT WORKS • A journey that serves the right drill at the right level, two minutes at a time. • Answer by voice, by touch, or by singing — fixed-do solfège throughout. • Progress you can see: every answer feeds charts of what you know cold and what needs work. • Practice goals and streaks if you want them — and never a punishment if you don't. FREE, AND WHAT MEMBERSHIP ADDS Every drill, every level, and every mode is open to everyone. Free practice starts with a full opening hour, then four minutes a day — counted only while a question is on screen. Membership removes the time limit, and today's price is the Early Adopter price: it will go up, but if you join at it, your price stays yours for as long as you stay subscribed. Nothing leaves your device: no account, no tracking, no ads. See the privacy policy for the whole story.
