Fourhands is remote piano lessons between two Macs. You talk face to face while everything they play appears on your keyboard, live — every note, every chord, named the instant it lands. No squinting at a video feed to work out what they just played.
Coming soon to the Mac App Store — one email, the day it ships.
This keyboard is live — play it. you your student, playing on their own Mac
Text it or say it out loud. No accounts, no links, no scheduling tools — the code is the whole invitation.
They install Fourhands from the Mac App Store — free for them, always — then choose Join and enter your code. That's them in the room with you.
Their hands on your keyboard, live, while you talk face to face. Record the whole lesson if you want to keep it.
Most people open Fourhands to teach or take a lesson. But the same window is a quietly great place to practice alone — every note you play named as you go, and a practice panel where the second player would sit: pick a chord or scale and it lights up green as you land it, pull a YouTube lesson or a reference image in beside the keys, keep notes that don't vanish.
Hit record and the whole session saves to your Mac as a video — the keyboard lighting up, every chord named. Come back tomorrow and see exactly what you worked out today, instead of trying to remember it.

Video shows you a picture of a piano. Fourhands shows you the playing itself — every note lights up on your own keyboard with the chord named, exactly when it happens. Video and voice are still there for everything a camera is good at.
A video recording of the whole lesson — the keyboard lighting up with every note you both play, each chord named, plus your voices — saved to your Mac with the lesson chat alongside it. Nothing is uploaded.
A Mac on each end, a camera and microphone (built-in is fine), and optionally a USB MIDI keyboard. No keyboard? Click the on-screen keys.
No. Remote lessons are the main use, but it's also for practice partners and jamming with a friend — and for playing solo: practice on your own with every chord named and the whole session recorded to replay later.
