Learn piano at your own pace, with Clea as your teacher. Clea was born from a simple conviction: anyone who wants to learn piano but can't afford lessons should be able to learn at least the basics. This project matters to me personally - so Clea is, and will stay, 100% free. No subscription, no in-app purchase, no exceptions. How it works: a virtual teacher (choose Clea or Cledo) guides you step by step, out loud, on an interactive keyboard: the 7 notes, right- and left-hand fingering, all 12 major scales and all 12 minor scales, pentatonic scales, chords, and ear-training exercises. Two notations: show notes in solfege (Do Re Mi...) or in letter notation (C D E...) - the teacher's voice always stays in solfege. Real piano (optional): if you have a real piano or keyboard nearby, turn on the microphone: Clea recognises the notes you play, in real time, entirely on your phone (nothing is ever sent or recorded). Available in French and English. Built for beginners, kids and adults alike - a playful "Junior" mode and a more direct "Teen & Adult" mode. No personal data, no ads, no account required. Just learning piano, for free.

Ambiful Abroad turns "I want to study, train or work in Germany" into a dated plan you can follow. It is built for Indians heading to Germany, and for those already living there. Considering another country too? Tell us in the app: your answers decide which country we add next. Answer a few questions about your degree, marks, English and German, budget and intake. The app then shows: • Your route: whether a Master's, a Bachelor's (direct or through a Studienkolleg), an Ausbildung (vocational training) or the Opportunity Card is open to you, and the conditions that apply • The true first-year cost: blocked account, fees, travel, insurance and the rest, with the source for every figure • A dated checklist from today to your start: APS, language tests, applications, the blocked account, the visa and more, each with a due date worked out from your intake • A Tools tab with every tool for your plan, and the right tools on each checklist step • Already in Germany: what your residence permit means for an Ausbildung or a degree, and part-time Ausbildung for parents • A programme finder that searches Germany's English- and German-taught programmes, with deadlines for your intake • A letter and CV coach that gives feedback on your motivation letter and CV • Free sample motivation letters, German CVs, recommendation and cover letters, to download as PDF or Word • A document vault for your passport, marksheets and certificates, with expiry reminders; documents you add tick off the checklist steps that need them Every rule and figure comes from an official source (German missions in India, APS India, DAAD, uni-assist, German law) and shows when it was last checked. We never predict whether you will be admitted, get a visa or find a job: universities, missions and employers decide. PRO PASS (one-off in-app purchase, 6 months, no subscription, no automatic renewal) • APS assistant: your APS procedure, whether you need the dMAT test first, and the document list checked against your vault • uni-assist planner: a submit-by date for each application, the VPD steps, handling fees and the document list for India • German plan: the level your route needs, courses and exams at your nearest Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan, and free official material • Eligibility check per programme: what each programme asks for, next to what you have • Scholarship matching, letters tailored to each programme, and a document pack check • Ausbildung finder: 18 occupations with length, average training pay and the German level, live vacancies, a cover-letter (Anschreiben) review and application tracking • Opportunity Card: your points, recognition of your degree, the money to show and how to apply • Funding and help in Germany: whether your status can get BAföG or BAB, and the official finders near you • Recommendation letters: track who you asked, when each letter is needed, and draft the request email • Family view: a read-only link for your parents showing your route, dates, progress and costs, never your documents or marks • Visa appointment by mission, visa interview practice, your university pack and an after-arrival pack • Life after graduating: the job-search permit, the EU Blue Card or skilled-worker permit, and your earliest permanent residence Start without an account: your plan stays on your phone.
