Made for ideas in progress. You know the feeling. Inspiration strikes, you grab your phone, strum a riff into a voice memo… and it joins the hundreds of other "New Recording 47" clips you'll never open again. That's how great ideas die. Riff Stash is the home for your musical ideas — so the riff you caught at 1am is still there, named, tagged and ready, when you're back with your guitar. CAPTURE MORE THAN AUDIO • Record riffs and ideas with a built-in recorder and waveform • Add chords and fretboard / chord-box diagrams • Write lyrics and notes right next to the audio • Set the tuning and capo so you remember how to play it • Snap photos of pdeals, scribbled tab or gear settings • Organise everything into collections and ideas FIND IT LATER • Full-text search across titles, lyrics, notes, tempo and tuning • Favourites for the ideas you keep coming back to • Sort by date, name or number of takes YOURS, EVERYWHERE, SAFELY • Syncs across iPhone and iPad with iCloud • Export a full backup of your library — audio and images included • Import audio straight from other apps Whether it's a two-bar riff, a full song sketch, or a reference sheet for a cover you're learning, Riff Stash keeps it organised and out of the voice-memo graveyard. Start with 60 days free access , then keep everything editable with an annual subscription. SUBSCRIPTION • Riff Stash Annual — £14.99/year (prices may vary by region) • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase • Auto-renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before renewal • Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings • If your subscription lapses, Riff Stash becomes read-only — you can still open, review and play everything, and renewing restores full creative access Terms of Use: https://www.riffstash.info/terms-of-use Privacy Policy: https://www.riffstash.info/privacy-policy
