PolyMic turns your iPhones into a synchronized multi-track studio. Place a phone by each instrument, hit record, and every player gets their own clean, separated track - drums, guitar, bass, keys, etc. No audio interface. No expensive studio microphones. No laptop. No cables running across the rehearsal room. MULTI-TRACK CHANGES EVERYTHING A single phone in the corner gives you one muddy room recording. PolyMic captures each source separately, so you can mix the band's rehearsal, live set or demo recording afterwards and actually hear what your band sounds like. THREE EASY STEPS. ZERO GEAR. 1. Place your phones - one near each instrument or amp 2. Hit record - one tap starts every device at once 3. Mix and share - adjust levels and export straight from your phone PERFECTLY IN SYNC, AUTOMATICALLY PolyMic aligns every track to the millisecond on its own. No clapping to find a sync point, no dragging waveforms around in an editor, no drift halfway through the take. Press record and it just works. BUILT OFFLINE-FIRST Works anywhere. Phones connect directly to each other - no network required, so PolyMic will work even in a basement studio with no reception and no Wi-Fi. BUILT FOR - Band rehearsals and practice sessions - Jam sessions and demo recordings - Live gigs - Podcasts and interviews with multiple speakers - Music teachers and students reviewing takes MIX ON THE RIDE HOME Balance levels, pan instruments, and export a finished mix from your phone. That usual throwaway rehearsal recording turns into a demo. BUILT BY MUSICIANS PolyMic started with a familiar frustration: the best take of the night happened, and nobody caught it properly. We built the tool we always wanted - no gear budget and easy to use. SUBSCRIPTION PolyMic Essential unlocks multi-track recordings, automatic time alignment and mixing.

ToneSpace

ToneSpace helps you test your room before you record, teach, stream, sing, podcast, or join an important call. Run a short guided room check and get practical scores for noise, echo, voice clarity, and recording level. ToneSpace listens through your microphone only during the test, estimates how ready the room is, and turns the result into clear fixes you can try immediately. Use ToneSpace to: - Check room tone before a podcast, voiceover, vocal take, class, sermon, meeting, or livestream - Measure estimated noise, echo, clarity, and level from a real microphone capture - Choose scoring modes for podcast, voiceover, meeting, vocal, church or hall, online class, and general recording - Follow a guided silence and voice test so you know exactly when to stay quiet and when to speak - Save room profiles and compare how a setup changes over time - Track score trends after moving a mic, closing a window, adding a rug, or softening reflections - Listen back to saved voice samples when sample saving is enabled - Share a clean PDF report with scores, metrics, and suggested fixes - Use dedicated live tools for room echo, background noise, and real-time level checks - Control local history, saved samples, theme, and privacy settings ToneSpace is built for practical creators and everyday rooms. It is not a certified acoustic lab, and its readings are estimates, but it gives you a fast way to understand whether your room is quiet, controlled, and ready enough for the recording you are about to make. Privacy is central to the experience. ToneSpace works without an account. Sessions, room profiles, reports, and optional samples stay on your device unless you choose to share them. You can turn off saved samples and clear local data from Settings.
