CadenceForge
Learn functional harmony from your OWN ear (ages 15–18): hum the bass and it names the chord it could be; explore the progressions (I–V–vi–IV and more) behind the songs you love; feel how cadences resolve through predict-observe-explain quests; and write a bridge with a Socratic coach that only ASKS. You analyse your own songs — no copyrighted charts, nothing recorded. On-device.

Meet the cast
CadenceForge's personas (ages 15–18, realistic — NO mascots/illustrated cast); each names one tool of harmony-by-ear. No illustrated chapters/portraits/audio.
Root
the hum-the-bass ear — you sing the lowest note, and it names the chords it could be
Cycle
the progression explorer — hear the four chords behind a thousand songs
Pull
cadences — the feeling of a phrase wanting home, or being left open
Bridge
a coach that only asks questions — the bridge is always yours to write

How CadenceForge handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ Free — no ads, no in-app purchases
- ✅ No personal information collected from children — in line with COPPA (updated by the 2026 FTC amendments)
- ✅ No chat with strangers — play-together rooms use a short code and preset emotes, never typed messages
