PitchStill: Note Training

Hear It. Find It. Play It.

What it does

PitchStill gives you a note, plays the sound, and listens through your phone's mic while you match it on your instrument. Hit it clean and fast - score goes up. Miss it - streak resets. Sessions run 30 seconds to 10 minutes. That's the whole loop. It sounds simple and it is. The thing being trained is the gap between hearing a note and landing it on your instrument without hesitation. That gap is real, it's measurable (the app tracks your average time to detect), and it gets smaller with reps.

    Perfect Pitch Puzzle – a musical Wordle daily ear training game2023 · perfectpitchpuzzle.com · ▲225

    Hi all! Thanks for checking out the side project my family and I have been working on (on and off) for the past year. We were playing wordle when we thought: wouldn't it be fun if you had to guess musical notes (ABCDEFG) instead of words? And what if the notes you had to guess were actually the first six notes of a familiar melody? My brother and I both have perfect pitch, which has been really helpful when we want to cover a song that we like, or improvise in a jazz or blue grass setting. We don’t promise that this game will help you gain perfect pitch, but it is possible to train your ear…

    My iOS app to practice sight reading (10 years in the App Store)2025 · apps.apple.com · ▲313

    Hello HN, this has been my personal project for quite some time now. It has been a slowly evolving project over the years and its core function is for users to expose themselves to progressively more difficult lessons of music notes. NOTE: It is free and there are no ads. There is an in app purchase but most of the app doesn't require it.

    I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
