Hear the key.
Lock the tempo.

How it works

  1. 01

    Point

    Hold your phone toward the speaker. A booth, a living room, a car: anywhere the music is.

  2. 02

    Lock

    Tap LOCK. About fifteen seconds of the track with the beat playing is all it needs.

  3. 03

    Mix

    Read the key on the Groove Wheel, a circle of fifths with relative minors on the inner ring. Anything touching it mixes cleanly. The tempo sits underneath.

Two ways to listen

Lock

One reading, frozen. For checking a track before you play it, or settling an argument about what key it's in.

Live

Keeps listening. When the track changes, the reading follows on its own. For the booth, when your hands are busy.

Four looks

Classic, Neon, Outline, Solid. Light and dark.

Nothing leaves your phone.

The audio is analysed in memory, in real time, and never recorded or uploaded. No account, no analytics, nothing collected. The microphone is only open while you're listening, and the app works fully offline.
