MelodyMode is a audio-based memory game and ear training built around one simple loop: listen, identify, repeat. Every session plays a short sequence of notes for you to name by ear — no sheet music, no theory lecture, just focused listening practice that fits into a coffee break. Choose which notes to include and how long each sequence gets, and MelodyMode paces the challenge to match, from quick 3-note warm-ups to longer melodic phrases. FIND YOUR NOTES Pick the pitches you want to work on, set how many appear per challenge, and go — perfect for isolating the intervals or notes that trip you up. CLIMB THE SCALE PATHWAY Prefer structure? Work through a guided path of triads and scales, unlocking new levels as your ear improves. Each pathway ends in a badge — a real marker of a skill you've built, not just a checkbox. TRACK REAL PROGRESS Every note and scale you practice earns XP toward your own leveling curve. Create a free account to sync your progress, levels, and badges across every device you own — or skip the account entirely and play as a guest. Whether you're a beginner learning the scales from scratch, a working musician sharpening relative pitch, or just looking for a fun audio-based memory game, MelodyMode meets you at your level and grows with you. MelodyMode is free to play, supported by ads. Upgrade to Premium anytime to remove ads and unlock premium features.
