Key ideas

Reverse Ear Training
Instead of naming what you hear, you actively reshape / locate the target sound by ear.
Machine Learning Coach
The app adapts difficulty based on your accuracy and consistency.
Fast, Repeatable Reps
Short cycles that build instinct and speed — ideal for daily practice.
Three Skill Lenses
Multi-pitch (I), chord structures (II), scales/modes (III).
Musician-first UX
No fluff — immediate audio, clear targets, and high repetition.
Real-world payoff
Improved transcription, improvisation accuracy, and harmonic hearing.

Inside the apps

Politonus I — Multi-Pitch Recognition

Train your ear to identify stacked notes — from simple dyads to dense sonorities.
  • Relative or perfect pitch workflows
  • Degrees / notes / movable Do
  • Progress-driven difficulty
Politonus II screenshot

Politonus II — Intervals, Triads & 7ths

Reverse ear training “search” mechanics to lock in chord quality recognition.
  • Find the requested structure by ear
  • Machine-learning-driven pacing
  • High-rep practice for fast improvement
Politonus III screenshot

Politonus III — Scales & Modes

Train the sound of modes by transforming the audio into the requested scale.
  • Ionian / melodic minor / harmonic minor mode families
  • Reverse ear training with “unknown controls”
  • Adaptive learning curve
