"Pocket Muse" is a music app built for musicians. Many times we just wanted to go back one bar but ended up rewinding 30 seconds. We would like to just loop this one section and practice over the song but had to drop our instruments every time, move the time slider, only to find out it's way before the section we want to practice. With Pocket Muse you don't have to wait or be careful not to move your finger more than one pixel to jump to the right section. Pocket Muse features: - jumping back and forth by a set number of seconds. - bookmarking so you don't have to poke around to find where "verse 2" is. - an easy user interface for setting loops, jumping back to point "A", looping on/off, and clearing loops. While it is a lightweight app, there are lots of features planned to be included, so please stay tuned! (Upcoming features include changing the playback speed without affecting pitch, saving loops, customization, and a full facelift.)

Muse is the musician's companion — a conversation partner that knows gear cold and cares more about the person playing it. Talk guitars, pedals, amps, tone, and technique with something that actually listens. Muse remembers where the conversation has been, builds on what you said, and answers like a bandmate: direct, specific, and allergic to filler. WHAT MUSE KNOWS • Guitars — pickups, neck profiles, scale lengths, setups • Pedals — overdrive, fuzz, delay, reverb, and the boutique rabbit hole • Amps — clean headroom, break-up, wattage, speaker pairings • Recording — DAWs, mics, room sound, capturing a take • Technique and practice — voicings, tunings, habits that stick WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Muse doesn't lecture and doesn't gush. It asks the kind of questions a good bandmate asks: why you play, what you're chasing, what happened when you finally nailed the take. One question at a time. No homework unless you ask for it. Built by Suede Labs for players who'd rather talk shop than scroll.
