One single tool to recommend to your class: no more spending half the lesson explaining four different apps, and Projection mode puts the chords up large for the whole group.

What you'll find when you open the AriukeClub app
Ready in one tap
Come in from your phone's browser or from your computer, whenever you like. And if it becomes part of your day, it stays as one more icon, without going through any store.
No sign-up, no password
No sign-up to complete, no email to leave, no password to remember. You open it, and it's already playing.
Not a single ad
Nothing pops up in the middle of a chord to interrupt you: not at the top, not at the bottom, not between one tool and the next. This is a tool for practicing, and it behaves like one.
What you record stays with you
Your takes are saved on your own phone and go nowhere, because there is no server for them to go to.
Inspired by a club that got together to play
AriukeClub taught people to play in Arica through 2018, meeting in public places with photocopied handouts: the parts of the instrument, tuning, the first chords, the strumming patterns and the repertoire.
This app was born to honor that initiative —lovely, simple and powerful— and turn it into something that keeps ukulele players company. The chords come from the same shapes that were taught there, and the recorder with teleprompter lets you create content for your own social media, with the lyrics on screen as a reminder while you play.
From a club that met in the square to an open tool, so that any ukulele player anywhere has somewhere to practice.
Four tools ready to use, and four more on the way
Simple to use, right on your phone
They aren't four apps:
they're four
features
in a single one.
The count, the movement and how it sounds.
The turnarounds behind almost every song.
Chords in large type, for playing as a group.
Public-domain methods and songbooks.
Five ways it can help
Your ukulele in tune and your mind at ease. Sounding good doesn't depend on special talent: it depends on having the right tuner at hand.
Get the take right the first time, without forgetting the lyrics. The teleprompter keeps them on screen while you play, and each network's safe area shows you what will be visible once you post.
Your whole session in one place: tune up, set the tempo, check a shape and record yourself, without leaving the same screen.
All six sizes and all sixteen tunings: baritone, sopranino and bass included, with Low G, Chicago and slack key. Because the ukulele does not end at the soprano.
Launching soon
Four more tools, already on the way. As each one is ready it shows up inside the same app, with nothing new to install.
Strumming
The count, the movement and how it sounds, with adjustable speed so you can take it calmly.
Progressions
The chord turnarounds behind almost every song, for when you already know three and want to keep going.
Projection
Chords in large type for playing as a group, made for whoever is teaching.
Library
Historical methods, songbooks and Hawaiian public-domain repertoire, to keep you company between one session and the next.
AriukeClub keeps being built, calmly: new tools come in and the ones already here get reviewed and improved. What you use today will be a little better tomorrow.
A network of clubs around the world
AriukeClub was born in the public squares of Arica in 2018. Today we invite other clubs and spaces that share the same purpose —bringing music closer to more people— to join a directory, without that implying any commitment between the parties.
Where to find us
We're preparing a monthly email with what has been added to the app: which new tool there is and where to find it. It isn't open yet. When it is, we'll say so here and on the networks above.
Fewer downloads. More music.
Start playing nowAriukeClub is an independent project, with no advertising and no tracking. If it saves you time in your classes, keeps you company at rehearsal or helps you record yourself, a one-off voluntary contribution sustains the tools still to come.
