SnapNotes: Sheet Music Player
Scan Sheet Music. Play it.
Every piano app locks you into its licensed catalog. If your teacher assigns a piece the app doesn't have, you're stuck. SnapNotes flips that: photograph any printed sheet music (or import PDF/MIDI/MusicXML) and it becomes a Synthesia-style falling-notes track in seconds. Connect a MIDI keyboard and practice mode scores every note you play. Built-in note editor to fix scan errors, 232 public-domain songs included, no account, no ads — your music stays on your device.

Hey Product Hunt! Solo dev here 👋 The problem that started this: I learn piano best from those falling-note videos on YouTube, but the piece I actually needed to practice was never there. The big learning apps only have their licensed catalogs — great if you want to learn what they picked, useless when your teacher hands you paper sheet music. It felt backwards that the music I owned was the music I couldn't practice properly. So I built SnapNotes: take a photo of any printed sheet music (or import a PDF/MIDI/MusicXML) and it becomes a falling-notes track. Plug in a MIDI keyboard and practice mode scores what you actually play, note by note. There's a note editor for when the scan isn't perfect, and 232 public-domain songs built in — classical, folk, ragtime, Bach — all free of licensing weirdness. Honest bits: the scanning runs on an open-source OMR engine (Audiveris), so clean printed scores work great, but handwritten or really dense pages can need touch-ups. And there's no pop music in the catalog — that's what scanning your own books is for. Getting here was a ride. Three App Review rejections, then a server-side App Store Connect bug that left my subscriptions unsellable after launch — I ended up diagnosing it through their private API and rebuilding my subscription setup from scratch. Happy to share that whole saga if anyone's curious, it was character-building lol. Free to try (few scans + ~116 songs, no account needed). Would love honest feedback — especially from anyone who plays: what would make this part of your actual practice routine?
