Airmony turns the air in front of you into a musical instrument. Raise your hands and the front camera reads them in real time: count a chord on the fingers of your left hand, play it with your right, and every chord lands in key. There is nothing to hold and nothing to connect. No musical training required. Complete beginners play something beautiful in their first minute, and the experience quickly turns mesmerizing. Musicians get an inspiration engine: improvise with no instrument at hand, stumble onto progressions you would never have written, and capture them as clips. Everything runs on your device. Your camera frames are processed live, on the phone, for hand tracking, and are never uploaded or sent anywhere. There is no account and no sign-up. COUNT CHORDS ON YOUR FINGERS • Show 1 to 5 fingers on your left hand to pick a chord, and lean it outward for minor. • Raise your right hand to play: more fingers add inversions and sevenths, your thumb drops an octave, and leaning your hand opens a wah. • Each chord glows in its own color, and the camera draws your hands as you play. • Play in Major, or switch to any of the 16 moods, from pentatonic to Kurd and Hijaz. PLAY ALONG WITH SONGS • Tap the note button and play a song from the first bar to the last. • The guide drops each hand's next chord right onto the beat, so you always know what comes next. • The arpeggiator and The Beat follow the song's tempo. TWO MORE WAYS TO PLAY • Melody and 2-Hand, one tap away on the Mode tile: pinch the air to play, release to stop, and glide across the notes of a scale. • Chords on a wheel under one hand, a melody or harmonies under the other. MUSIC THAT STAYS IN KEY • Pick any key and one of 16 moods, from major and pentatonic to handpan scales like Kurd and Hijaz. • Every gesture lands on a note that fits. A REAL SYNTH ENGINE • Eleven sounds, from electric piano, strings and pizzicato to choir, bells, handpan and 8-bit, plus an arpeggiator, a drum machine (The Beat), reverb and delay. • Designed for low latency so your hands and the sound stay in sync. MADE FOR SHARING • Record a clip in one tap, framed vertically for Reels and TikTok (9:16), over a soft blur of your own take. • A clean Airmony watermark is baked in. • Share straight to your favorite app with a caption ready to go. • Sing along with wired or Bluetooth headphones: tap the mic button before recording (it stays off by default). Balance your voice and the music with two faders before sharing. • Face Blur follows the main face live, under the interface. Review your clip before sharing. AIRMONY+, 14 DAYS FREE • Start with a 14-day free trial of Airmony+: all 16 moods, Pro harmony, The Beat, clips up to 3 minutes and Face Blur. • After the trial, Airmony+ renews monthly. A yearly subscription and a one-time lifetime purchase are also available. • Airmony can remind you 2 days before the trial ends. Cancel anytime in your Apple account settings, at least 24 hours before the end of the trial or of the current period. • Already playing Airmony before version 1.1? Your free features stay. ACCESSIBLE BY DESIGN • VoiceOver support, including the chord you count in Fingers mode, and Reduce Motion respect. • Visual cues never rely on color alone. Airmony works in landscape, either way round, with a bit of room in front of you, and stays readable in bright rooms and against white walls. Bring your hands into frame and start playing.
