Kairos · DJ field guide

A five-minute check

Kairos is a DJ app in the making. This shows you a few of its screens and asks one question about each. There's no wrong answer: it's testing the screens, not you.

Use your own phone, in a dim room, at the brightness you normally have it on.

Go through the five in order. Some screens show for a few seconds only, so read each question first.

At the end, copy your answers and send them back to whoever sent you this link.

1 OF 5

You'll see a screen for three seconds. Then: what's happening between the two records?

2 OF 5

The same screen, as long as you like. Are these two records in the same key? What told you?

3 OF 5

A busy booth screen. Which control does the app want you to touch? Tap Found it as soon as you know.

4 OF 5

The same screen. Hold your phone at arm's length and read out B's tempo and the bar number under the playhead.

5 OF 5

A page of reading, for 30 seconds. Read as far as you like.

How easy was that to read?

1 is hard, 5 is easy.

Last bits

Then paste them into a message to whoever sent you this.


All seven screens

If you're curious: the five above come from these. Each has an A | B switch at the top. A is how the design stood before a round of fixes, B is after.
