You don’t need music theory to finish a song. InkyTune is a digital music sketchbook you can actually play. Draw a line with your finger or Apple Pencil, and your stroke becomes a rhythm- and scale-aware melody. InkyTune then builds matching chords, bass, drums, and atmosphere around it. Finish drawing, tap Play, and hear your idea become a complete arrangement. DRAW YOUR MELODY • Horizontal movement controls time • Vertical movement controls pitch • Even a short tap can create a note • Timing and pitch are shaped into a musical result • The rise, fall, and movement of your original line are preserved • Draw with your finger or Apple Pencil FIND YOUR VIBE Choose from Lo-Fi, Pop, House, Chiptune, Ambient, Jazz, and Synthwave. These are more than visual themes. Every style has its own tempo, groove, drum pattern, chord language, bass movement, sound character, and energy curve. SHAPE THE MUSIC, NOT THE THEORY • Energy: calm to intense • Mood: dark to bright • Complexity: simple to rich These three approachable controls make audible changes to tempo, dynamics, harmony, rhythm density, and arrangement detail—without exposing a complicated mixer or piano roll. KEEP WHAT YOU LOVE Mute, lock, or regenerate individual chord, bass, drum, and atmosphere layers. Lock the parts you like, then try another random seed to explore a new variation. Your drawn melody remains yours. PLAY, SAVE, AND SHARE • Play, pause, stop, and loop • Automatically save and restore your latest project • Create and manage multiple musical sketches • Export real WAV, AIFF, or M4A audio files • Share your finished track with the system share sheet • Designed for both iPhone and iPad Core creation and music generation run directly on your device. No account, cloud service, or internet connection is required. Want to go further? InkyTune includes Doodle Synth and Doodle FX extensions for compatible AUv3 music apps. Save a song’s style, controls, and random seed to the AUv3 Shared Library, then recall its matching sound preset inside either extension. One purchase. No subscription. No in-app purchases. Draw a melody. Make a song.
