Rhythmic AI — your AI practice coach for musicians. Rhythmic AI turns everyday practice into guided progress. Snap a photo of your sheet music or record yourself playing, get instant personalized feedback, then work through exercises, real repertoire, and progress tracking that keeps you coming back. AI Coach. Chat with a coach that actually looks at what you're working on. Upload your sheet music — as many pages as you like — or send a recording of your playing, and get concrete, encouraging feedback on technique, timing, tuning, and interpretation, plus clear next steps to try right now. Start a fresh conversation anytime, or revisit past chats from your history. Exercises. Build the fundamentals with scales and arpeggios tailored to your instrument and skill level. Each one is rendered as clean staff notation in the right clef, so you can read and play along. Mark exercises finished, save them for later, or tap "I need help" to bring the coach into your practice. Tunes. Explore a growing library of real repertoire — from Twinkle Twinkle and Ode to Joy to Clair de Lune, Bach's Cello Suite Prelude, and Chopin's Nocturne in E minor. Each piece shows properly formatted sheet music that adapts to your instrument's clef, opens full screen for easy reading, saves to your Photos, and can be sent straight to the coach for help. Progress. Stay motivated with practice time, daily streaks, XP, and a weekly activity graph. Earn badges as you hit milestones — from your first week to finishing 100 exercises — with a celebration each time. See everything you've completed and what's still in progress at a glance. Made for every musician. Piano, guitar, violin, viola, cello, bass, or voice — pick your instrument and the app adapts. A calm "lacquered grand piano" design, in dark or light, keeps the focus on the music. Plans. Start free with Basic. Upgrade to Rhythmic Pro or Rhythmic Max for more coach chats each week and month and more messages per conversation — cancel anytime. Practice smarter. Play better. Keep the streak alive.

Sheetly is a sheet music scanner with an AI coach built in: point your phone at any score and hear it play. Ever stare at a new piece and have no idea how it's supposed to sound? Or lose the tempo halfway through because counting just isn't clicking? Sheetly fixes that. Point your camera at any sheet music and Sheetly plays it back to you. Hear the piece before you play it, slow it down while you learn it, and loop the exact bars you keep messing up until they stick. And when you're unsure about a note (what it is, how it's played, which position or fingering to use), just ask. Sheetly's built-in AI coach reads your score and answers instantly, like having a teacher in your pocket. WHAT SHEETLY DOES • Scan sheet music with your camera and it turns into playable, interactive notation • Scan up to four pages of one piece into a single score • Hear any piece played back, at any tempo • Loop tricky sections until they're muscle memory • Change the playback instrument • Ask the AI coach about notes, rhythms, keys, positions, and anything else in your score • Import MusicXML files directly SHEETLY PRO Pro: scanning, the AI coach, recording, export to PDF, MIDI and MusicXML, and MusicXML import. New users start with a free trial. Without a subscription you can still play the four Sheetly Studies and your first scanned page. WHO IT'S FOR Whether you're a student learning your first pieces, playing in a school band or orchestra, or coming back to an instrument after years away: if you read sheet music, Sheetly makes practice faster and less frustrating. I'm a teenage trombonist, and I was tired of losing count and forgetting positions. Sheetly is the practice tool I wished existed, so I built it. Hear it before you play it.
