PianoAnyway

Play anywhere.

Got a chart in ABC letters? Paste it — see 123, transpose, play.

You bring the chords (paste or build). We turn them into keys you can play — MIDI or on-screen.

For anyone who accompanies with a chart they can barely read — and kids exploring.

123 or Do-Re-Mi — chords your way

Switch 123, Do-Re-Mi, or both — on cards, keys, and circle. Transpose and labels follow.

A path you can hear

Stack five, six, or more chords you like. Gold Play hears the path; Rec captures your take.

Paste your chart — ABC → 123

Most charts are letter chords (C G Am F) — hard to play if you think in 123. Paste into Play → Paste progression → Use this. Labels switch to 123 / Do-Re-Mi; then transpose, blue keys, MIDI, save. Not a song library — your chart, your path.

Generic ABC chords C G Am F become path cards 1 5 6m 4 with blue guide keys

Blue keys — tap to play

Blue = this chord’s left-hand base. Gold edge on black keys = other notes in the key for your right hand.

Speed, beats, tone, drums

Under the keys: tempo, beats per chord, sound, and drum style. Tap to preview — gold Play uses your pick.

Circle of fifths — kept simple

Tap a neighbor to transpose. Recommended chords below — tap to hear. 123 / Do-Re-Mi stay.

Chords by feel — tap to play

Pick chords you like — by feel or genre. Tap to hear; + adds to your path.

Save & share

Jam audio or a path. Share — paths become a beautiful chord-keyboard picture.

Two ear games

Hear → pick, or Feeling → pick — light ear practice. Not ranked homework.

What am I playing?

Connect MIDI and hold a chord — the app names it in 123 / Do-Re-Mi. One tap adds it to your path, keeping the notes you played.

What you can do

One loop: build, transpose, play, save. No extra app in between.
