You probably don’t need another reminder that learning piano takes practice. You already know that.
What you may need is a way to stop staring at the distance between “I love this song” and “I can play this song” — and take one small step across it.
Maybe you have a keyboard at home. Maybe you’ve searched YouTube and clicked on tutorials labelled “easy”, only to find fingers moving too quickly, explanations you don’t understand, or a version that feels far beyond your level.
And maybe you closed the video. Not because you stopped wanting to play. You just couldn’t see how to begin.
That is why I made Apocalypse.
Tell it the song you want. Choose a version that feels manageable. Let it take you to focused YouTube searches, find a tutorial where you can see the player’s hands, and learn a little at a time.
You don’t have to commit to becoming a pianist. You only have to choose one song and see what happens.
Open Apocalypse. Choose a song. Try the process before you pay anything.
See if you recognise yourself in any of these situations.
You didn’t stop loving music. You hit a difficult first step, didn’t know what to do next, and gradually the instrument became part of the furniture. You don’t need to make a big declaration or start a strict routine. You can begin with one song.
Maybe a teacher said you had no talent. Maybe you tried once and felt clumsy. Whatever happened then, it doesn’t have to decide what you’re allowed to try now. You don’t need to prove anything to anyone to enjoy learning a song.
Sometimes the problem isn’t you. It’s the version, the speed, or the way the tutorial is presented. A song can have arrangements for different levels. Finding one that matches where you are makes the first attempt less intimidating.
You came for a song, not another subscription decision or a long course before you can get started. Apocalypse lets you try the process first. Decide what you think after you’ve seen it for yourself.
Maybe it’s a film theme, a song from your childhood, or something someone you love used to hum. Learn the chorus and stop there if that’s all you wanted. You don’t owe anyone a recital, a practice streak, or a lifelong hobby.
There is no fixed lesson plan, no required order of exercises and no one watching. You choose the song, repeat a few seconds, slow down the video, take a break, or stop after five minutes. If you have autism or ADHD, you are welcome here too. I can’t promise one method works for everyone, but Apocalypse doesn’t force you through a curriculum.
Apocalypse starts with your choice — not with a syllabus.
You choose a song and Apocalypse opens focused YouTube searches for it. You can look for normal, easy or very easy versions, choose chorus only or the full song, and find a tutorial where the player’s hands are visible. Then you watch, copy and build the song in small pieces.
It isn’t a teacher listening and correcting you. It doesn’t write the notes, teach music theory or guarantee that every YouTube tutorial will be good. The videos are made by other people. You choose the one that works for you.
I didn’t build Apocalypse to claim that learning piano is effortless. It isn’t. I built it to make the first practical step easier to find — so the song you love can become something you actually try to play.
When you can see where the fingers go, you have something concrete to follow. You begin to recognise the movement and the keys instead of trying to imagine what the tutorial means. You don’t need to start with music theory. You can start by observing, copying and getting familiar with the route.
A video moving too fast? Tap the video, then the gear icon, choose Playback speed and set it to 0.5x. Fingers not obeying? That’s normal. Keep the session short and loop the tricky part. Song too hard? Search for an easier version or choose another song. Nobody is grading you.
Wrong notes are just notes looking for their friends.
Two hands doing different things — often called hand independence — can be difficult for beginners. Apocalypse includes a “Best exercises for hand independence” button that takes you to videos focused on that skill.
It’s an independent project, not a classroom or a person checking up on you. The path is simple: search, watch, copy, play. You stay in control of the song, the video and the pace.
Choose it, tap Chorus only and play along for five minutes. That can be the whole story.
Any piano or keyboard where you can press keys and hear sound is enough for a first attempt.
Already have a teacher? Show them Apocalypse and ask what they think. You can also explore songs your lessons haven’t covered.
Choose the song, find a video and play along. It can be a practical starting point when you don’t have time to arrange a lesson.
Six in the morning, two in the afternoon or three at night. YouTube is available around the clock. If your keyboard has a headphone output, you can practise quietly.
Apocalypse is available in English, Spanish, Russian and Portuguese. The tutorial itself doesn’t need to be in your language if you can follow the hands.
You don’t need a practice schedule or a perfect plan. Give one song five minutes and see whether this way of starting makes sense to you.
No payment. No commitment. Just a chance to try the process.
Borrow an idea from this list. Choose the song that makes you want to hear it coming out of your own hands. The app’s “Need ideas?” button has the same list — and you can search for any song, as many times as you like.
Here are 50 songs people already know and love. Pick the one that makes you want to hear it coming out of your own hands. The app has a “Need ideas?” button with this same list. And remember: this is only a starting point. You can search for any song, as many times as you like.
You don’t have to pay to find out whether Apocalypse helps you get closer to playing the music you love.
Open it, choose a song and try the process. If it feels useful — if it gives you a practical way to start instead of leaving you stuck at the search stage — you can choose to keep it with the Eternum Ticket.
One payment. Yours for good.
The Eternum Ticket includes the app and future updates to its functions, with no extra investment afterwards.
No subscription. No account. No payment required to try Apocalypse first.
Checkout is handled through Gumroad. Your payment details do not pass through the Apocalypse app; Gumroad handles the transaction. There is no sign-up. What you do in the app is saved only on your own device.
Before publishing: replace the Gumroad placeholder with the real product URL and confirm that the stated update and data-storage terms match the live product.
You will make mistakes. Everyone does, including people who play well now. It’s just you, your instrument and a video. Nobody is listening, and a wrong note is simply part of trying.
Then you haven’t paid anything. You can try the process before deciding whether to buy.
No. You watch the hands and copy them. Reading music can come later, if you ever decide you want to learn it.
Apocalypse is an independent project. There is no classroom, scheduled lesson or person checking on you. You get a path — search, watch, copy, play — and the freedom to switch videos or songs when something doesn’t click.
Your instrument turned on, Apocalypse open (in the Android app or online, with no installation needed for the browser version), and an internet connection so YouTube can load.
The app is yours to keep. There is no subscription, account or renewal. Future updates to the app’s functions are included, as described above.
The honest answer is no. It isn’t designed specifically for children, and I don’t want to pretend otherwise.
Apocalypse opens YouTube. Autoplay and suggested videos may lead a child away from the instrument, and we haven’t built parental controls. Some parents prefer to limit YouTube or use downloaded videos. If you’re considering Apocalypse for a child, please supervise their use of YouTube and decide whether that environment is appropriate for your family.
If you’re a parent who wants to learn for yourself, you’re completely welcome. You’re the one at the keyboard.
You don’t have to decide whether you’re musical, talented or ready. You don’t have to believe a promise on a page.
Open Apocalypse. Choose one song. Try one chorus. See what you think.
