Chet
What it is
Chet is a free ear-training and music-theory app for iOS and macOS. A guided learning path lets users study at their own pace, while musical games provide additional practice. Exercises address intervals, scales, arpeggios, chords, progressions, tonal sequences, famous tunes, and atonal sequences. Responses can use piano, guitar, bass, or multiple choice, and MIDI compatibility allows use with a MIDI keyboard. Practice Mode uses spaced repetition. Users can sign in to track progress and compete with musicians around the world. Chet is listed as free, with no paid price or usage limit stated. Its privacy policy says the app collects in-app activity, including exercise data, and may transmit it to cloud storage. The policy also says Chet is not intended for children under 13 and that absolute data security cannot be guaranteed. Privacy and deletion questions can be sent to [email protected].
