Piano Chords, Scales Companion Description
Forget what a chord is called? Press a few keys on the on-screen piano or your MIDI keyboard and the app identifies it instantly. Looking for a scale that fits a song you're writing? The interactive Circle of Fifths shows every compatible chord at a glance.
Not sure what Cmaj7♯11 means? Tap any chord symbol to see the notes behind it, the intervals, and the degree it plays in the key — so the shorthand on a lead sheet stops being guesswork.

Theory that finally makes sense
Piano Companion teaches music theory through hands-on practice. The app labels secondary dominants, leading tones, and common degrees — Tonic, Supertonic, Mediant, Subdominant, Dominant, Submediant, Leading tone (in major) and Subtonic (in natural minor) — so you can study how progressions are built. Listen to relative scales side by side, browse compatible chord-and-scale pairings, and try modes you've never used.
Songwriting and composition
Use the chord wheel and progression sequencer to compose songs from scratch. Add arpeggios, swap chords for relatives, and play the result on the built-in piano or through MIDI.
