Vocal training that shows you the note

Most singing apps are built to walk you through a curriculum. Cadence is built to measure – for anyone who wants to see their singing get better rather than just be told it will. The choir member, the serious amateur, the person who knows exactly which phrases let them down, and equally the person who has been told they cannot sing and has never once been shown the evidence.

It runs in your browser and installs to your phone like an app. Everything you actually sing into – the live pitch detection, the trainer, the take analysis – runs entirely on your device. Your voice never leaves it.

What it does

Cadence turns your singing into something you can see and compare, take after take.

• A live pitch lane. Sing, and watch the note land in real time. When you're on it, the trace burns steady and centred; when you scoop or drift, it bends off-centre before it changes colour – so you read the problem by position first, the way your ear hears it.
• Breath and vibrato, measured. Hold one note for as long as it lasts, and see the rate and width of your own vibrato put in numbers. Both are things singers are told about for years and rarely shown.
• A sight-singing trainer. A note appears on the stave, named, and you sing it – ten of them, with the pitch shown live as you land. It is the skill a choir asks for when the conductor gives you a starting note and expects you to find your own. Nothing is played at you first, though the note is one tap away whenever you want it.
• Song takes, compared honestly. Record the same song again and again. Every take is measured exactly the same way, so Take 1 against Take 10 is a fair comparison, not a vibe. You see what changed in plain language – “six more landings in a hundred”, “three cents steadier” – and when something slips, it says so.
• Coaching from your numbers. After a take, you can get a short written report – what improved, what to work on next. It's written from the measurements, never from your audio, which stays on your phone.

Who it's for

Choir singers and competent amateurs, first and foremost. If you already know roughly what you're doing but want to stop scooping into your phrase starts, hold a long note without the pitch sliding, or read a line off the page and pitch it, Cadence is built around exactly those challenges. It began as a tenor's daily warm-up and a choral sight-reader's weekly headache, so the tenor range and the choir skills came first.

How it's different

The big, funded apps teach a curriculum and gamify the basics. Cadence does something narrower and, for a singer who wants proof, more useful: it measures your progress over time on real repertoire, and it trains two things almost nobody else covers properly – reading and pitching a line cold, and catching the moment a note starts, down to the cent.
