Read full description

Melody Saver captures a melody the moment it shows up β€” on a walk, at 2am β€” and turns your hum into MIDI on the iPhone. Hum it. It's saved. It's already MIDI. β€’ Record a hum or a sung line. Raw audio is saved first, so the idea cannot be lost if processing fails. β€’ On-device pitch tracking turns the take into a piano-roll you can hear in the app. β€’ Share a standard MIDI file into your DAW, plus the original audio. β€’ Optional lyrics from on-device speech. Recognition does not send audio off the phone. β€’ Optional iCloud backup so ideas survive a new phone β€” only if you turn it on. β€’ Control Center β€œRecord Idea” starts capturing immediately, with a Live Activity while you record. Private by default. No account. No ads. Unlimited captures and MIDI export.
