ComposePocket is a songwriting tool for sketching song ideas as fast as pulling your phone from your pocket. ■ Build songs from parts - Create parts like Verse, Chorus, and Inst, then arrange the whole song by order and repeats. - Place the same part in multiple spots (shared) and set how many times it repeats. ■ Notes and chords - Enter notes and chords in a note sequencer (major, minor, 7th, sus, and more). - Set per-measure time signature and BPM, plus a whole-song BPM. ■ Hear it, see it, export it - Play a part, a measure, or the whole song with an SF2 soundfont, with a moving playhead. - Tap a measure or note to move the play position; stop and resume from where you left off. - View native staff notation, or export to MusicXML/MIDI for other notation and DAW apps. Supports Korean and English. Free, with a banner ad at the bottom.
