Maestro vs Sonedia

Maestro is a music sketchbook built around chords. Open it and start playing right away! Choose a chord, tap keys, and shape a progression that feels good. Make small musical sketches that sound coherent from the start. Maestro keeps the experience focused: chords, keys, and a clean layout that helps your hands find something musical quickly. Catch what you just played. Your Archive keeps the last 60 seconds, so you can replay the moment, revisit a progression, and refine the idea. If you want a simple way to sketch harmony and find melodies, Maestro is your place to start!

Allowances are verified and enforced by Sonedia using StoreKit entitlement proof and App Attest, and unused minutes do not roll over. Apple displays the localized price and any eligible introductory offer before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account, and you can manage or cancel in App Store subscription settings. Privacy: - Recording, playback, transcript search, and SHA-256 proof hashing run on-device; completing and verifying a proof requires connectivity so iCloud can store the receipt with an Apple server timestamp, and an offline proof remains pending - Apple speech transcription runs on-device by default. If you explicitly enable or choose Apple server recognition, selected audio is sent to Apple and requires a network connection. Availability varies by device and language - iCloud sync is optional and uses your own Apple account - If you attach precise location to a recording, that coordinate can sync with the recording and can be visible to participants when you share it in a Shared Album - Free smart naming and automatic icons stay on Apple/on-device paths and never call Sonedia's AI service. Only when a paid user enables AI Insights with explicit consent is the selected audio securely uploaded for temporary cloud processing; entitlement and usage limits are verified by Sonedia, provider files are deleted after processing, and the app contains no provider API key - Sonedia maintains no separate hosted recording library and runs no advertising analytics or tracking
