Rain plays.
You conduct.
Rain Étude listens to real rain and turns every drop into a note — live, on your iPhone. Heavier rain quickens the tempo, thunder rolls through the bass, and the screen writes the score in gold.

A concert where the rain is the soloist
Not rain sounds for sleep and not a music editor — a live show you conduct.
Live Rain Orchestra
Real drops become music in real time. Detection runs entirely on your iPhone, with no noticeable delay.
The rain writes the score
Drops fall onto a dark staff and bloom into golden notes. In a minute the screen fills with a pattern no one else will ever see.
You are the conductor
Hold to sustain the harmony, swipe to change key, switch ensembles mid-storm.
Every rain becomes an étude
Sessions are saved as “Étude No. N” with a generative spiral cover, the city, the weather and the number of drops.
Play it again, differently
Re-orchestrate any étude with another ensemble: the same drops, the same rhythm, new music.
Share as a Stories video
Export a vertical video of the score with the music, automatically cut to the most eventful moment.
Six ensembles, one rain
Each has its own instruments, musical mode and mood.
No rain today?
The concert doesn’t have to wait for the weather.
- Studio Rain. Six rain scenes — a tin roof, leaves, a window, an umbrella, a thunderstorm, drizzle — played through the same live detector.
- Finger Rain. Tap the screen to make drops; hold for a downpour.
- Any drops. A dripping tap, a shower or fingers drumming on a table — the microphone hears them all.
