Hear it. Name it. Nail it.
Ear Up turns ear training into a daily game — intervals, chords, progressions, and perfect pitch, practiced by real listening instead of memorized theory.

See it in action
A daily streak to keep you coming back, four skills to pick from, and exercises that actually sound like music.
Train four core skills
Each module ramps from a small set of easy-to-tell-apart choices up to professional-level recognition, so you always have room to grow.
Intervals
Name the distance between two notes, from a minor 2nd to a full octave. Intervals · Easy is free forever — the app's front door.
Chords
Identify chord quality by ear — major, minor, diminished, augmented, sus2/sus4, and 7th-chord extensions at harder levels.
Progressions
Recognize chord progressions the way you'd hear them in a real song, from simple triads up through 7th and sus chords.
Perfect Pitch
Name a single pitch cold, with no reference note, across a widening range as you improve.
Built to keep you coming back — not to grade you
Most ear-training apps feel like software built for a class. Ear Up is built to be the thing you open for two minutes every day.
