Stave Sketchbook
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stave is a quiet digital sketchbook for melody ideas. Tap a staff line to drop a note, pick a duration, and hear it back instantly. No login, no clutter, no fight with a full notation engine. The look is warm cream paper, ink-black notes, and brass accents — built for moments when an idea arrives and you just want to write it down before it leaves. KEY FEATURES • Tap the staff to place notes — pitch follows the line you touch • Whole, half, quarter, eighth and sixteenth durations, plus rests • Treble and bass clef, key signatures from 7 flats to 7 sharps • Time signatures from 2/4 to 12/4, 8 and 16 included • Tempo from 40 to 240 BPM • Built-in synth playback — hear your piece without leaving the screen • Library of pieces saved on device, switch with one tap • Eraser per measure to clear and try again DESIGNED FOR SKETCHING Stave is not a full engraving tool. It is a place for the rough draft — the line you whistle in the car, the riff you woke up with, the cadence you want to remember tomorrow. Capture it, play it back, save the piece, move on. PRIVACY No tracking. No accounts. All pieces stay on your device.
