## What is Neon Synthetics?

A complete neon music studio AND a private AI that works 100% offline — no setup, no account, no internet, ever.

Make beats on an 8-pad sequencer, play a polyphonic synth, then chat with an on-device AI that ships ready to go the instant you open the app. While other private-AI apps make you download a model first, Neon Synthetics already has one built in. Press play. That's it.

— THE MUSIC STUDIO —

• 8-Pad Beat Sequencer: tap out drums fast on a classic step grid with genre presets.
• Polyphonic Synth: play lead, bass, pluck, pad, organ and bells with rich, warm 80s tone.
• Key + Scale Snap-Lock: lock to any key and scale so every note you play stays in tune.
• BPM, Tap Tempo & Metronome: nail your timing every time.
• Ask the AI for a Beat: tell the on-device AI a vibe and it builds you a starting pattern.

Go further with NEON PRO (one-time unlock):
• Sample Vault: record, import and chop your own sounds.
• Voice & Lyric Lab: capture vocals and write to your track.
• Mixer & FX: balance levels, add color, shape your mix.
• Song Mode + Pattern Library: arrange full tracks and save your patterns.
• Audio Export: bounce your music out to share anywhere.
• Music Visualizer: watch your sound come alive in neon.

Sound School: built-in music-theory lessons, so you actually learn while you make.

— THE PRIVATE AI —

• On-Device AI Chat: a real language model that runs entirely on your iPhone.
• Offline Wikipedia: ask anything and the AI cites a built-in encyclopedia — no signal needed.
• Notes & Lists: capture ideas, lyrics and to-dos.
• Voice Recorder: record memos, riffs and reminders.

Because it all runs locally, it works on a plane, in the subway, off-grid — anywhere.

— FREE vs NEON PRO —

Free forever: AI chat, offline Wikipedia, notes, lists, voice recorder, the 8-pad sequencer, the synth, BPM/tap/metronome, genre presets and "Ask the AI for a beat."

NEON PRO — one-time $2.99, no subscription, ever: sample vault, voice & lyric lab, mixer & FX, song mode, pattern library, audio export and the music visualizer. Pay once, own it.

— YOUR PRIVACY IS ABSOLUTE —

No account. No sign-up. No internet connection required for anything. Your chats, your music, your notes and your voice never leave your device — there's nowhere for them to go. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is tracked, nothing is sold.

Neon Synthetics. A music studio and a private AI, glowing in synthwave neon — fully yours, fully offline.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-17

NEON is now your offline assistant.

• Say "remind me at 6", "add it to my calendar", "save a note", or "set a 20 minute timer" — NEON does it instantly, right on your phone. No cloud, no account, 100% private.
• Calendar events use write-only access: the app can add what you ask for, and can never read your calendar.
• New onboarding page shows everything your assistant can do.
• Smarter chat: encyclopedia grounding no longer triggers on assistant commands.
• Long documents attach faster and more reliably.
• Restore Purchases is more resilient.
• Polish across the studio: streaming replies render cleaner, and every delete in the app now asks before removing your work.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-02

What's new in 1.0.1

• Fixed audio playback — your beats and songs now always come through, every time you hit play.
• Swap any drum pad's sound from a built-in library — long-press a pad. You're never stuck with the defaults.
• One-tap CLEAR to wipe a beat and start fresh (with a confirmation so you never lose work by accident).
• The studio now remembers your custom pad sounds between sessions.
• Clearer layout: the Beats / Synth / Voice switch and headers are easier to read and use.
• Audio recovers automatically after calls, alarms, Siri, or unplugging headphones.
• Restore Purchases now confirms the result.
• Stability and polish throughout.

### 1.0 — 2026-06-25

No release notes.
