JigRipper listens to live Irish traditional music and tells you what tune is being played — while it's still being played. No recording uploads, no network needed: everything runs on your device. It continues to work when your device is locked, and integrates with your watch!
WHAT IT DOES
• Live tune identification from a repertoire of over 22,000 traditional tunes
• Renders sheet music for every tune, engraved by JigRipper's own notation engine
• Real-time "tune river" visualizes the session as it flows past
• A live cursor that follows the player through the score, bar by bar
• Save sets, tunes, and entire sessions for recall later
• Works entirely offline
FOR PLAYERS
• Build and browse sets — the tunes you actually play, in the order you play them
• Analyze recordings — import an audio file and get a deep stereo analysis
• Apple Watch companion — start listening from your wrist, with Live Activities on the lock screen
UNDER THE HOOD
JigRipper's recognition models were trained specifically on Irish traditional music — jigs, reels, hornpipes, polkas, slides, waltzes and more — and its notation engine was built from scratch for the way trad tunes are actually written and read.

TRY IT FIRST
A free browser version runs at jigripper.com — no install, no account. It runs the same JigRipper neural models, so you can see it work before you buy.
The app adds what a browser can't: it keeps listening while your screen is locked, works with no Internet connection at all, and puts the current tune on your Apple Watch.
