## What is Guiro?

It isn't tapped. It's scraped. Run a finger along the ridges and a real guacharaca or guiro answers.

Guiro turns your iPhone into a guacharaca or a metal güiro, with sound recorded from real instruments. Finger speed and direction change the sound, exactly like a real scraper, and you feel every ridge under your fingertip as you play. Tap the plate at the bottom for a hit.

TWO INSTRUMENTS INCLUDED
A wooden guacharaca and a metal güiro, each with its own 25 ridges and its own hit. Swipe sideways to switch.

BUILD YOUR OWN
Record your own instrument with the microphone, photograph it, and trim the audio — all inside the app. Your photo becomes the instrument you play.

PLAY OVER YOUR MUSIC
Load a backing track from your files and play along, with its own volume and a 0.5x-1.5x practice speed that never changes the pitch.

RECORD YOURSELF
Capture your playing — on its own, or mixed with the backing track — and share it.

NO ACCOUNT, NO INTERNET
Guiro asks for no sign-up, needs no connection, and sends nothing anywhere. Your recordings, your photos and your instruments live only on your phone.

Requires iOS 26. iPhone only for now.
