A notes app built for songwriters. Most songwriters work out of multiple apps. A notes app for lyrics and ideas, a recorder for audio, a second note or audio file to notate the music. It works, but it's messy, and keeping everything organized is a job in itself. Astren brings your notes, your recordings, and your guitar tabs into one place, so your ideas and the music behind them are always together. WRITE • A full text editing suite for capturing ideas the moment they show up • Headers, bold, italic, checklists, and hyperlinks RECORD • Record audio directly within your notes • Recordings live as inline tokens, right next to the lyrics or arrangement they belong to • Loop a riff and write to it NOTATE • A built-in guitar tab editor for notating exactly what you just played • Fast, intuitive, and stored right alongside everything else YOUR FILES, YOUR WAY • Astren stores everything in your phone's Files app, locally or in iCloud • Your work is yours, always SHARE ANYTHING • Share a full note, a recording, or a tab directly from the app • A collaboration tool as much as it is a writing tool NOT JUST FOR SONGWRITING Astren is a fully capable notes platform. Grocery lists, to-do lists, whatever you need. The songwriting tools are there when you need them, and out of the way when you don't. Light and dark mode supported.
