MUEDnote
Read full descriptionHide full description
MUEDnote is an app that understands how you think about music. You don't have to write anything. Through conversations with Hoo, an AI owl companion, MUEDnote reads your production style, strengths, and the challenges on your mind — then organizes it all into a profile, automatically. The note isn't something you write. It's something written about you. --- Key Features --- [Profile Dashboard] Hoo auto-generates your profile as a music creator from your conversations and session data. View and edit your production tendencies, focus areas, and musical decision-making patterns in card format. [Conversations with Hoo] Hoo is an owl-shaped AI partner. Hoo listens, nods along, and surfaces creative patterns you didn't know you had. [Hoo's Care] Pomodoro-based focus management. After a 50-minute session, Hoo reminds you to take a break. Not overworking — that's Hoo's job too. --- MUEDnote has changed --- In v1.1.0, MUEDnote evolved from a "production log app" into an app that knows you. We removed manual log input entirely, replacing it with a natural conversation-based approach to building your profile. And it's now completely free. No subscription required.
