Read full description

Resona is a professional voice training tool built for trans voice work. Most apps only show your pitch. Resona also shows your resonance โ€” the quality that matters most โ€” in real time, with a structured 6-week course that teaches you how to change both. Everything runs on your device: no account, no upload, no subscription. SEE YOUR VOICE - Real-time pitch trace tuned for voice training, not karaoke - Live resonance brightness โ€” the missing half most apps cannot hear - Target bands you choose, anchored to your own baseline LEARN, STEP BY STEP - A 6-week course: foundations, pitch, resonance, combining both, prosody, real-life speech - 30 lessons with embedded live practice and ear training - A drill library for focused workouts, tuned to your targets HEAR YOURSELF CHANGE - Voice journal: record entries with pitch and brightness snapshots - Compare then vs. now, side by side โ€” your ears are the best judge - Progress charts that measure change from your baseline. No scores, no judgments. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - All analysis happens on-device. Audio never leaves your phone. - No account. No ads. No analytics. Optional iCloud sync uses your own private iCloud. FREE AND PRO โ€” HONEST PRICING Free forever: the full real-time pitch and resonance meters, Week 1 of the course, starter drills, 3 journal recordings, and 7 days of progress history. Your data is always recorded in full. Resona Pro is a single one-time purchase (no subscription): all 6 weeks + future course updates, the full drill library, unlimited journal entries, complete history, and iCloud sync. Resona is a training tool, not medical care. If you feel pain, strain, or persistent hoarseness, stop and consider seeing an ENT or a speech-language pathologist (SLP).
