Upload an MP3, WAV or M4A, or record from your microphone. AI picks out every note and lays it on a piano roll you can play back, slow down and download as MIDI.
Transcribe a song →Practice mode
Falling notes, a wait mode that holds the song until you hit the right key, one-hand practice, loops and speed control — with a score that tells you how you did.

Drop in a song
Choose an audio file or record a few bars from your microphone. Solo piano works best; full songs work too.
AI finds the notes
Spotify’s open-source Basic Pitch model runs on your device and maps every pitch, start and length onto a piano roll.
Play it back & practice
Hear it on a grand piano, loop a bar, slow it to half speed, practice one hand, then download the MIDI.
Improvise over a real band
GrooveForte makes jazz, funk and smooth-jazz backing tracks for players at every level. Press play, open the online piano, pick the matching scale and the right keys light up in gold.
“Into The Night” is in C minor at 85 BPM — choose C minor (Dorian) on the piano and let your right hand wander.
Private by design
Your audio is processed on your device. Nothing is uploaded, stored or sold.
MIDI in and out
Plug in a USB or Bluetooth keyboard, record takes and export standard MIDI files.
Installs like an app
Add it to your home screen or desktop. It opens full-screen and works offline.
Free, forever
