Dit. Dah. And one day the hiss turns into words. Morse isn't another flashcard app with cartoon letters. It's a telegraphy school in your pocket: a course that takes you from zero to head copy, and a proving ground where experienced ops chase their own records. A gentle on-ramp for the newcomer. An honest fight for the veteran. NEW TO CW No memorizing the alphabet off a chart. The Koch method hands you two characters and adds the next only when the last ones are solid — you never get bored and never get buried. The app picks today's characters out of the mistakes you made yesterday. Fifteen minutes a day for a couple of weeks and you're hearing letters, not decoding them in your head. ALREADY HAVE A FIST Here's something to measure yourself against. Callsign copying scored the RufzXP way: fifty calls, the speed climbing with every clean one, errors biting into your score. Sending judged the way a contest judges it — an uneven fist and uncorrected characters cost you, not just your speed. Game Center leaderboards put a number on where you stand in the world. And you can run all of it on your own brass, not a finger on glass. AIR THAT DOESN'T GO EASY ON YOU Forget the clean textbook tone. QSB, QRM, QRN, carrier whistles, key clicks, chirp, a buzzy note — and the faster you work, the rougher it gets. You train in the band you'll actually meet, not in a laboratory. YOUR BRASS, IN THE APP Glass will never feel like brass, and we know it. Connect your key through a Bluetooth adapter — straight key, bug, iambic paddles, whatever sits on your desk — and work it right here: practice, take the test, chase records. Iambic auto-repeat behaves the way it should; paddles swap sides with one switch. No adapter? A game controller does the job — two buttons, dit and dah. WHEN THE KEY ISN'T WITHIN REACH The Morse keyboard turns iPhone into a paddle: key your messages straight into any app you type in. The converter turns text into dits and dahs, an audio file or a QR image in a second. Dictation keeps your texts and plays them back at any speed when you want blind copy practice. 37 MORSE TABLES — ANY LANGUAGE, ANY SCRIPT International, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Thai, Japanese Wabun, the Chinese telegraph code and more. Scripts with no table of their own are transliterated for you, so nothing stays silent. Progress and records follow you through iCloud — start on iPhone, carry on at the Mac. Some sections are free. Unlock all features with a monthly subscription or a one-time purchase for lifetime access. The subscription renews automatically until you cancel it in your Apple Account.
