SingSpark is a private singing-practice app for people who simply want to sing better. No ads, no account, no social ranking. Vocal removal, pitch analysis and scoring all run on your iPhone, and your recordings never leave it. Pick how you want to sing, follow three simple steps, and watch your pitch in real time. Two ways to sing: ・Karaoke: import your own song, remove the vocals, change the key and follow the original pitch line, with lyrics recognized on your iPhone ・Sing with your music app: play songs in Spotify, YouTube or any app while SingSpark shows how in tune you are ・SharePlay: sing the same song together in a FaceTime call, with backing, pitch line and lyrics in sync on every phone Made for your voice: ・My Voice: a 40-second test maps your range, then SingSpark suggests keys, marks your comfort zone on the pitch line and checks whether a song suits you ・Pop songs for your voice: SingSpark picks songs from the top charts that fit your range and tells you which key to sing them in. Preview any of them, or search for any song to see if it suits you ・Take review with spectrum, pitch, section scores and a strict vocal coach ・Vocal Drills for pitch, scales, intervals, timing and high notes, with a clear guide tone to follow and an instant celebration when you hit the note ・Song Analysis for imported phrases, reference pitch, beat points and practice segments, with a strict coach review ・Getting started: 8 looping lessons for beginners who can't yet match a note or keep a beat (free) Practice that sticks: ・Practice this line: loop the line you missed with 1, 3 or 5 seconds around it, slow it down, drill pitch and rhythm separately, then swap a better attempt into the take ・Today's practice: a short daily plan built from your own recordings, a warm-up plus the lines that need work (full plan with Pro) ・Share a vertical video with your moving pitch line, or a score card. Pro removes the watermark and adds the backing to videos Play and perform: ・Instruments tab: a tuner, automatic chord charts (transpose, capo advice, simple chords), auto accompaniment with drums and bass (Pro), a metronome and ear training ・Stage mode: setlists and big full-screen chord charts that turn with a Bluetooth pedal or follow your singing (Pro), plus a tip QR code for your audience ・Cover videos: sing to the camera with rolling lyrics; the video lines up with your voice, ready to post Free and Pro: Every feature is free for the first 3 days. After that, the free version keeps both singing modes, the live pitch line, 5 saved recordings, section loop, sync calibration and pop songs for your voice, plus 1 vocal drill, 1 song analysis, 1 coach review and 1 song range check per day. Practicing a line, line-by-line progress and sharing with a watermark are free too. SingSpark Pro comes as a 1-month or 3-month subscription, or a one-time purchase that's yours for good. Pro unlocks key and speed change, vocal removal, unlimited recordings, unlimited drills and analysis, range checks for any song, coach-style polish, and export sharing. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be canceled anytime in your App Store account settings. Note: SingSpark does not read Spotify, Apple Music, or other streaming app audio buffers. It analyzes microphone input and can mix with other music playback.

SingTrace: Daily Singing Practice Build a real singing habit by recording yourself, listening back honestly, and noticing how you improve over time. SingTrace is a local-first practice journal for singers. Your recordings stay on your device. Label takes by song, compare versions from different days, and keep showing up -- one session at a time. Practice That Fits Your Life: Daily Recording Habit: Set a reminder, tap record, and capture a practice take in seconds: covers, originals, warmups, or free-form singing. Your Personal Archive: Every take is saved locally with dates and song labels. Revisit your history and hear how your voice changes week to week. Listen and Compare: Playback, scrubbing, and side-by-side listening help you notice tone, timing, and feel; not just what you think you sound like in the moment. Studio Analysis (Optional): Subscription to SingTrace Pro provides lightweight vocal metrics: pitch trace, range, dynamics, sustain, and phrase highlights; without turning practice into a scoreboard. Progress, Not Perfection: SingTrace is designed to encourage consistency, not grade you like a karaoke machine. Metrics support your ear; they don’t replace it. Track streaks and milestones as you build the habit of recording and listening back. How It Works: 1. Record a practice take (onboarding includes one free studio analysis for recordings over 10 seconds). 2. Listen back and review your archive by date or song. 3. Subscribe to run studio analysis on future takes when you want deeper feedback. Your voice improves when you practice, record, and listen. SingTrace makes that loop easy to repeat. Subscription Information SingTrace offers local recording, playback, archive, and reminders for free. Studio analysis after your first free analysis requires an active subscription. • Subscription plans are available on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis. • Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. • Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. • You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple Account Settings after purchase. • Pricing may vary by region.
