Musicality, always with you.
You mark the structure and accents yourself — that's how you train an ear that works on any song, not just this one. Notes on your phone, locked to the music. Better than doomscrolling through another commute.
Song analysis
Breaking down a song, finally practical.
Almost nobody keeps a notebook where they break songs down — not because it isn't worth it, but because paper can't keep up. It can't lock your notes to the music, loop a part, or play your analysis back. Cadencia can. That's why the practice finally sticks.
Paper sits still. Cadencia keeps your structure locked to the music as it plays — a live count a notebook can't give you.
How it works
From a track to something you really know.
Step 1 01
Import your tracks
Your audio, on your phone.
Step 2 02
Lock the pulse
Tempo and beat 1 — so the count lands where you feel it.
Step 3 03
Mark what you hear
You place the structure, accents, and notes. Listening is the practice — the app doesn't guess them for you.
Step 4 04
Play it back with the count
Follow a live count locked to your structure; loop and slow a part when you practice.
Also: practice
Loop the mambo. Slow the mambo. Rehearse without scrubbing.
When you practice or build choreo, a part can loop on its own — and slow down. No more hunting for the spot and scrubbing.
A closer look
Your audio stays on your phone.
No account required. Songs, notes, and structure live on your device — not in my cloud. Read the Privacy policy.

Why I built this
Everybody says you should be musical and dance to the music, but how to actually learn to do it? The best advice I got is listening and making notes on paper. Well, as any engineer knows, it's way more fun to build an app for that! (XKCD 974)
I use the app daily and it got addictive fast. What better way to pass time than to listen to the new release and enjoy it in a whole new way by marking down the structure and accents.
Dance the song, not just your figures.
