How it adapts
It reads what your hands actually did
KeyFu is a piano practice app for iPhone and iPad that plans from what your hands played. It fits your goal, your time, your keyboard, your key and your hands today.
Your skills
What you’ve built, skill by skill
Six skills on one wheel, each filled from what you played. A skill not measured yet stays an empty outline, not a score.
Your coach KeyFu
Timing is leading. Ear is your next win — worth a session. Your goal leans on Chord moves, Chord shapes, and Low notes — and that's where most of this week went.

- Timing
- Staying with the beat, not just near it.
- Chord moves
- The changes a song is built on.
- Ear
- Recognizing what you hear before you find it.
- Chord shapes
- Getting the shape under your fingers.
- Hand sync
- Both hands landing together.
- Low notes
- The low part a song stands on, usually played by your left hand.
Three views sit over the same wheel. Level says how far along each skill is, in words; Freshness, how well it is holding; This week, your minutes.
Your goal puts a ring around the skills it leans on. The ring is never part of the fill, so changing your goal takes nothing away.
An empty skill’s row names the exercise that fills it in.
What it changes
It moves with how you played
a notch faster · a notch slower · the stuck hand alone
Playing something right once is not the same as owning it.
The tempo picks up when chords land in time and gives you room when they don't. An exercise that held steady can come back a notch faster.
When a spot keeps catching, help comes in steps: a notch slower, the stuck hand alone, then no beat until it runs clean. The coach says what changed.
Your time
It fits the minutes you have
Today’s session is built to fit the length you pick, so short bursts are fine.
- 5 min
- 10 min
- 20 min
- 30 min
Change time puts the plan together again for a new length, so nothing is simply cut off the end.
Each exercise takes as long as it needs, so the time is a guide, not a promise.
Longer sittings work too: once today’s plan is done, More practice adds more, and Play freely has no clock at all.
Your keyboard
It fits the keyboard you own
25 to 88 keys
Tell KeyFu how many keys your digital piano or keyboard has, and the exercises it picks fit under your hands.
An exercise that needs more keys says so, and KeyFu can follow your octave buttons.
Your hands today
It eases off when you tire
Late in a session your hands stop responding the way they did at the start.

KeyFu treats that as information, not failure. Before each exercise it checks how you’re doing; if it’s too much, Let’s ease offoffers a break or something lighter.
You can still play it as planned, and Take it easy on my hands in Settings makes sessions lighter, with earlier breaks.
Pick a library exercise that is a bit much today, and it starts at its slowest tempo while the coach says why.
Your key
The coach picks a key, or you do
Let the coach pick today’s key, or set your own: the key you sing in, the one your track is in, or one you just like.
16 kinds of key
7 kinds like major and minor
9 kinds like blues and pentatonic
192 keys to play in, like C major or A minor blues
As you change it, the coach says what that key would mean for today’s plan.
Where it runs
Practice works without a connection
Practice works the same with the Wi-Fi down: reading what you played never waits on the internet.

Even the roll’s wait for a chord that isn’t fully down happens on the device itself.
If the coach can’t be reached, practice carries on without him.
