Inside Swarlipi

There’s more to riyaz
than an hour on Sunday.

Five minutes a day beats an hour on Sunday. This is what the five minutes are made of.

Raga wheel
Find the right raga for right now: the raga wheel turned to 8:00 PM, night, six ragas, with Yaman and Puriya listed below it

Ragas by the hour. Turn the wheel to any time and see what belongs there. 21 ragas, with aroha, avaroha and pakad.

Compositions
Write sargam like your teacher taught you: the composition Albela Sajan Aayo Ree in a grid of swars with bols beneath, above the notation keyboard

Sargam you can hear. Komal and tivra, meend and split, the bols underneath. Press play and hear it on harmonium.

Ear game
Train your ear, one swar at a time: level 7 Nishad asks which swar was that, with swar buttons from Sa to taar Sa

Two minutes a day. One note plays, you tap the one you heard. Sa and Pa first, a new swar each level.

Classes
A notebook for every class: Monday's entry, explore Bhairav, with the composition Bhairav Palta 1

Every class, kept. Guruji sang it once. You recorded it. The voice note sits under the date, next to the homework due Friday.

21 ragas

Dawn to late night.
Every hour has its ragas.

The same wheel as the app. It opens at your hour; drag it to any other.

6:00 PMEvening5 ragas
Drag the dial to any hour

That’s the preview. In the app, tap any raga for its aroha, avaroha and pakad, hear it in your own scale, and play an ear game built from its swars.

Questions, answered

Before you ask.

Yes. Every level, every raga, the whole class diary. No limits, no ads, no subscription. There is a tip jar in Settings. It unlocks nothing.

That is the point. The first level is two notes, Sa and Pa, and you only listen. Singing comes later, and only if you want it.

No. Swarlipi uses sargam, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni, the way it is taught by voice. Komal gets a dot, tivra gets a line, the way your teacher writes it.

Only when you sing. The listening levels, the ragas, the notation and the diary work without one. Your voice is analysed on the phone and never uploaded.

No. It is for the six days between classes. Your teacher’s version always wins, and the app says so under every composition.

Not yet. iPhone and iPad today. Android is next, and the people on the list get it first.
