Description

Master your musical ear - become an Earonman.

Earonman is the most comprehensive ear training app for musicians of all levels. From basic intervals to advanced jazz harmonies, level up your skills through interactive exercises, real-time feedback, and a gamified learning path.

AUTHENTIC SOUND
Practice with samples from a real Petrof III grand piano, recorded at Baracca Records. Switch between 8 instruments: piano, Rhodes, strings, harp, electric guitar, flute, clarinet, and French horn.

LEARN WITH DR. EARMOND SHARP
Every lesson is an interactive conversation with your witty musical guide. No boring textbooks - just engaging, step-by-step explanations that stick.

STEP-BY-STEP CURRICULUM
Over 200 levels across multiple sections - a clear path from your first interval to complex jazz voicings:

Melodic & Harmonic Intervals
Major, Minor, Diminished & Augmented Triads
Seventh Chords (Maj7, min7, dom7, dim7 and more)
Compound Intervals (9ths through 14ths)
Scales & Modes (Ionian to Locrian, Melodic Minor modes)
Jazz Voicings (Shell, Drop 2, Quartal, Upper Structures, Block Chords)
Extended Chords (add9, 6th, 9th, 11th, 13th)
Slash Chords (D/F#, C/E and friends)

GAMIFIED PROGRESS
Earn XP, unlock badges, climb the weekly leaderboards, and track your streaks. Browse your league history and dig into any past result. Earonman turns ear training into a game you actually want to play - think Duolingo, but for music.

PRACTICE MODE
Drill any area without pressure: Intervals, Chords, Scales, and Jazz Voicings. No timers, no XP loss, no lives - just focused training. Free for everyone, with the Jazz Voicings lab a favorite among jazz pianists working out comping ideas by ear.

ADVANCED QUESTS
Five specialized training modes for serious musicians:

Harmonic Quest: Step-by-step harmonic exercises inspired by multiple approaches including the Barry Harris method. Build real harmonic understanding, not just recognition.

Functioneer Quest: Step inside the harmony. Hear secondary dominants (V/V, V/ii and friends) resolve to their target chords with proper voice-leading. Train your ear on the same chord progressions across different voicings.

Guido Quest: Master guide tones, the 3rds and 7ths that shape every jazz chord. Hear one tone, find the other.

Hybrid Lab: Identify hybrid chords by the interval between bass note and the triad above.

Polychordist: Recognize polychords by their stacked-triad structure.

SMARTER STATS
Redesigned Stats show your accuracy and time per quest type, plus a per-session breakdown. See notation for every exercise.

ACCESSIBLE BY DESIGN
Earonman is built for every musician. Full VoiceOver support across quests, lessons, and onboarding means blind and low-vision musicians can train their ear with us too. Large touch targets, high contrast, and clear focus indicators throughout.

What's new (v1.4.0)

Duels & Sharing

• 1v1 Duels: challenge any other player to a head-to-head ear training match. Both get the same 10 questions in your chosen theme, fastest accurate player wins. Six themes - Intervals, Chords, Scales, Cadences, Chord Progressions, and Mixed. Customize any theme: pick exactly which items to test on, or leave it wide open.

• Async play: the challengee has 7 days to accept, then both players have 48 hours to play. Push notifications on every step - challenge received, accepted, declined, completed - and a nudge when your opponent has played their half. Rematch in one tap.

• Invite by link: create a share link to challenge anyone - even friends who don't have Earonman yet. One link can be accepted by several people, each starting its own duel.

• Share your duel result to a story: turn a finished duel into an image made for Instagram Stories. Your challenge link is copied to the clipboard so you can paste it into the story.

• Win-loss-tie record next to every player on the global leaderboard. Tap the sword icon to challenge them directly.

• Mark levels for review: tap the star on any unlocked level to flag it for later. Starred levels appear in a "Marked for review" strip above the level map so you can jump straight to them.

• Stuck? After three wrong answers in a row, a friendly prompt offers to drill that exact skill in Free Practice instead - infinite lives, no streak, no game over. The Game Over screen also has a "Try in Free Practice" button next to Retry.

• Smarter weekly leagues matchmaking: when your tier is quiet, you are matched into a populated group across tiers instead of playing alone.

• Cadence and progression playback polish: the tonic chord plays first as a key reference, then a pause, then the sequence - so the harmonic motion is easier to hear in context.

• Mobile quest polish: Reveal Answer is now treated as a neutral "revealed" instead of a wrong guess. Polychordist and Hybrid Lab gained a Harmonic / Arpeggio playback toggle. Polychordist no longer color-codes the chord by quality in "quality" mode (the color was leaking the answer).

• Settings moved to a gear icon on the Home screen to free up the bottom bar for the new Duels tab.

• Bug fixes: cadence and chord-progression duel themes now create challenges as expected. EarCoin count in the hamburger menu no longer pushes Shop's label off-center.
