The iMproviser is a hobby project developed in my free time. The backend is freely available on Github, it's responsible for rendering and managing the riffs. Hosting is done via Amazon Serverless and the platform will remain ad-free for the time being. You'll also notice the absence of a cookie wall and a privacy statement as the platform currently doesn't track any personal info except the info you provided when you created an account. Account details will never be sold or shared with 3th parties.

The backing tracks, freely provided exercises and all media are copyrighted by Formatics. Have fun playing.

No ads, no tracking?

As I would like to keep the platform ad free + add new features and musical content in the future, all donations are welcome. If you donate you can also influence the roadmap. So if you feel like you really need some feature, let me know with or without a small donation. :)
