MIDI Timer vs MIDI Recorder

You don't have to break focus to tap a timer. When you finish, you know how long you played, and you can hear that take again right away. [Play a note, and timing starts] Connect a digital piano or MIDI keyboard by Bluetooth or a cable. Timing starts when a note comes in. You don't tap Start. By default, 5 seconds of silence pauses, and 1 minute of silence saves a practice log. You can change both waits: pause 1–30 seconds, end 1–10 minutes. You can also end it yourself. [It records the time you actually play] Timing follows the MIDI. While the piano is sending notes, time adds up. When you stop, it pauses. Each log is one continuous performance, with the piece name you enter. [When you finish, hear it again on the piano] The MIDI from that session stays in the log. Tap play, and the notes go back to the connected keyboard, so you hear that take on the piano. You can line up what felt easy and where you got stuck.

You sit down at the keyboard. Something good comes out of your fingers. Five minutes later, you can't remember what it was. MIDI Recorder is built so that doesn't happen anymore. Every improvisation, every spontaneous idea, captured to a standard MIDI file you can open in any DAW. ALWAYS READY Recording waits for your first note, so files have no empty lead-in. Auto-stop ends the take when you stop playing. You don't fight the app — you just play, and the take is there. Or turn any of it off: every automation is optional, and the app adapts to your workflow rather than the other way around.

I got tired of losing good ideas to forgotten moments, so I built MIDI Recorder for myself. I use it every day and keep developing it. That's also why every feature is free, and will stay free. An optional in-app purchase removes the ad banner, but no functionality is ever locked behind a paywall — not now, not later. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 16 or newer • A BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) MIDI device or a USB MIDI device (most modern digital keyboards)
