Overview
DuoChart is a rhythm game designed for Apple devices. Notes travel down a five-lane highway in time with the music and are played as they reach the frets. When a song includes a music video, it plays behind the highway; when it includes lyrics, they are shown line by line as the song plays.
DuoChart is free. It is not available on the App Store and is distributed here for self-signed installation.
Songs
DuoChart plays standard rhythm game song folders: a .chart or .mid file with the song's audio, and optionally album art and a video. Existing song libraries from other rhythm games work without changes. No songs are included.
iPhone: open Songs, tap Import, and choose one or more song folders in Files. Folders can also be copied to On My iPhone › DuoChart › Songs.
Mac: choose a songs folder in Settings.
Installation
Because DuoChart is not distributed through the App Store, each copy is signed by the person installing it.
iPhone
- Download DuoChart-iPhone.ipa from the latest release.
- Install it with a sideloading app such as AltStore, SideStore or Sideloadly, signed with your own Apple Account.
- If iOS asks, turn on Developer Mode in Settings › Privacy & Security, and trust your Apple Account in Settings › General › VPN & Device Management.
Apps signed with a free Apple Account expire after seven days. Refresh DuoChart in the sideloading app to continue playing; songs and scores are kept.
Mac
- Download DuoChart-Mac.zip from the latest release and open it.
- Move DuoChart to your Applications folder.
- On first launch, Control-click DuoChart and choose Open, then Open again. If macOS still blocks it, go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.
