LumaKeys vs Anything Piano
Two apps for the falling-note pianist. One of them is the whole studio.
Anything Piano is a falling-note piano app. LumaKeys is a Mac app for the same kind of pianist that covers the whole process: learn any piece from falling notes, record your playing, edit notes in a piano roll, transcribe piano audio to MIDI, keep a repertoire, and export video for social.
Short version: check the table for what each one does. If you want one app for the whole process on a Mac and want to pay once, pick LumaKeys.

The long version.
What Anything Piano does well
Draft. Describe what Anything Piano is good at, in plain words and with its own strengths first.
Where it stops
Draft. Where a self-taught pianist runs out of road with it: recording, editing, transcription, repertoire, export.
What LumaKeys is built for
LumaKeys holds the whole process. A piece comes in as MIDI, as audio transcribed on your Mac, or as your own recording. You learn it, record your version, fix notes in the piano roll, and export a video in your colours. The repertoire keeps all of it.
It is Mac only. Free covers the full app with caps.
Why I built it
I learned piano the self-taught way: falling-note videos on YouTube, no sheet music, no teacher. Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Chopin, one bar at a time.
Draft. One paragraph on how Anything Piano fits into that story.
LumaKeys is the app I wished for back then: learn a piece, record it, fix it, keep it, and turn it into a video, all in one place, paid for once.
