Practice
Choose a skill, shape the run to your level, and drill as long as you like. No clock, no stakes.
Ranked
Timed runs with a rating attached. Milestones and streaks mark how far your hearing has come, and the leaderboard shows where you stand.
JourneyIn the works
A guided path through the skills, level by level, with clear goals and unlocks along the way.
Intervals
Two notes play one after the other. Name the distance between them.
Scales
A scale climbs from its root, one note at a time. Name the scale type you hear.
Functional
The key is established first, then a single note sounds. Name the scale degree it lands on.
Melody
The key is established first, then a short melody plays. Write it down degree by degree.
Chords
One chord, voiced in a random inversion. Listen past the voicing and name its quality.
ProgressionsPractice only
The key is established first, then a chord progression follows. Name each chord by degree and quality.
Ranked runs build your rating, milestone by milestone. Streaks are kept separately for Ranked and Practice, so a relaxed session never muddies your competitive record.
Tonalist is under active development. Screens get redesigned, features land mid-week, and ratings are recalibrated as difficulty is tuned with real player data. Your account and training history stay with you through all of it. Found a bug or have an idea? Use the feedback form inside the app.
