Kyomei vs Octal

When you and someone nearby are listening to the same song or artist, a quiet signal appears — a moment of connection through music. No profiles. No chatting. No noise. Just music, and the moments it creates. Features: • Detect nearby music resonance • See which song created the moment • Keep a private archive of where it happened • Runs quietly in the background Currently, Kyomei supports Apple Music and locally played audio on your device. Support for additional music players may be added in future updates. Kyomei focuses on simplicity and subtlety. It doesn’t interrupt — it reveals. Privacy-first design: • We only access your currently playing song title and artist • No audio data is collected or stored • No full listening history is accessed • Your location is only used to record your own resonance moments • We do not identify, track, or store information about other users Music is usually personal. Kyomei makes it shared — just for a moment.

Octal turns your phone into an instrument. The eight buttons play chords or notes that always go together, so whatever you press sounds like music. The bead under your other thumb changes their mood or behavior as you play. MAKE A LOOP Press record and play a few bars. Open the wheel, pick drums or a bass, and play over the top. Swipe over to the Loop Deck to see your loop and change it bar by bar. TURN LOOPS INTO A SONG Pinch the Loop Deck and chain your loops into a song. SOUNDS Synths, keys, drum kits, textures and acoustic instruments, a tap away on the wheel. NEVER LOSE AN EDIT Every edit is kept. The history tool lets you wind back to any of them. SHARE IT Send the mix as an audio file, or send the loop or song itself to a friend who has Octal. Making music in Octal is free, with four saved loops and one song. THE FULL VERSION One purchase, no subscription. MIDI and stems to finish your song in a DAW, MIDI out to play other synths, the bead lab to make and keep sounds of your own, and as many loops and songs as you like. PRIVACY Octal collects no data. The microphone is only on while you record a sound or play a Vocoder.
