ONE APP, A FULL PRACTICE ROOM
Everything your riyaz needs.
Use a simple accompaniment when that is all you need, or go deeper with pitch work, laya games, lesson organisation and listening practice.
PITCH LAB
See every swara you sing.
Live Swara follows your voice in real time. Build steadiness, hear a target when you need it, practise alankars and train vocal leaps—all with on-device analysis.
CLASSROOM
Bring every class home.
Keep notes, homework, recordings, photos, scans and files together by lesson. Set a one-time homework reminder and return to the right date from the notification.
RAAG LIBRARY
Build a private repertoire.
Learn essential raag structure, mark what you know, create your own raags and attach notes, recordings, images or PDFs that matter to your musical journey.
RECORDINGS
Capture the take, then listen back.
Record directly from Practice, browse saved takes, play them without audio-session conflicts, rename or share them, and find Practice recordings again from Classroom.
INSIGHTS
Notice the work adding up.
See recent sessions and recordings, keep an eye on practice time and streaks, and optionally set one gentle daily reminder at a time you choose.
TRAIN SUR, LAYA AND LISTENING
A practice path for every kind of day.
Live Swara
Follow the swara you are actually singing, not the one you meant to sing.
Stability Test
Hold one swara steadily, move to the next, and tap Hear target whenever you need a reference.
Swara Match
Hear a target and train your ear-to-voice connection one note at a time.
Alankars & Paltas
Turn clear swara paths into muscle memory at your own pace.
Vocal Challenges
Climb, mirror and fade phrases to practise clean leaps—not only straight scales.
Find the Beat
Listen, tap and land on the chosen matra to strengthen your sense of taal.
Raag Detective
Hear short clues, choose the raag and reveal the phrase behind the answer.
Breath Test
Track a steady exhale as one small, repeatable part of vocal preparation.
MORE CONTROL WHEN YOU WANT IT

Made to feel calm, clear and musical.
Real screens from the app—designed for iPhone and iPad, with larger layouts that make room for focused practice.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your practice stays yours.
Raag Riyaz has no account, no ads, no tracking SDK and no developer-operated analytics. Pitch analysis happens on device. Your recordings, lesson notes and repertoire stay in your app’s local storage unless you choose to export or share them.

HERE WHEN YOU NEED HELP
Support without the runaround.
Start with the quick answers below. If something still feels wrong, email the developer directly.
Microphone or audio
Check microphone access in device Settings, then reopen Raag Riyaz. After changing headphones or audio routes, make a short test recording.
Recordings and backup
Open Recordings from Practice. Export important recordings and notes somewhere you control before deleting the app or changing devices.
Practice reminders
The daily reminder is optional and off by default in Insights. Homework reminders are set individually from Classroom. Permission is requested only when you choose one.
Classroom files
Photos and files use system pickers. On Apple devices, camera access appears only when you choose Scan. Android Scan uses Google Play services.
Delete local data
Delete individual takes, lesson attachments and repertoire items inside the app. Deleting Raag Riyaz removes its local app container, subject to device backups.
Contact Koushik
Include the app version, device, operating-system version and what happened. Please do not send private recordings or teacher notes unless necessary.
Email supportDoes Raag Riyaz need the internet?
Core practice, recordings, pitch exercises, Classroom, Library and Insights are designed to work offline. Optional YouTube lessons, the fundraiser and App Store actions open external services and need a connection.
Does it upload my voice or lesson notes?
No. Raag Riyaz does not automatically upload recordings, pitch observations, notes or files to a developer-operated server. Content leaves only when you explicitly share or export it.
Can I move my work to another device?
There is no Raag Riyaz account or cross-device sync. Export important items before changing devices. Apple device backups may retain app data; Android backup behavior is described in the privacy policy.
Why does Bluetooth recording sound different?
Bluetooth A2DP is playback-only. When a Bluetooth microphone is used, the device may switch to a lower-bandwidth hands-free route. For the clearest pitch and recording results, use the built-in or a wired microphone.
SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
Made for Apple. Supported on Android.
The iPhone and iPad app supports iOS/iPadOS 16 or later. The Android app supports Android 8.0 or later. Core native practice features do not require an account or subscription.
