Control music without touching your earbuds or talking to Siri. Motune turns your Apple Watch into a wrist gesture remote for music. It is built for running, cycling, walking, commuting, workouts, cooking, wearing gloves, and everyday moments when earbuds, Siri, or screen taps are inconvenient. Motune is not another music player. It controls the music already playing on your iPhone. WHY MOTUNE Earbud controls are useful, but tiny taps and squeezes can be easy to misfire while moving, sweating, wearing a hat, wearing gloves, or adjusting the fit. Siri is useful, but saying "skip this song" out loud can feel slow, awkward in public, or unreliable in noisy places. Apple Watch Now Playing works when you can look down and tap, but small screen controls are not always convenient during a run, ride, commute, or workout. Motune gives you another option: quick wrist gestures for the music controls you use most. SIMPLE MUSIC ACTIONS • Previous track • Next track • Play • Pause FOUR WRIST GESTURES • Rotate wrist outward, return, then pause 1 second: Previous track • Rotate wrist inward, return, then pause 1 second: Next track • Turn palm upward, return, then pause 1 second: Play • Bend palm downward, return, then pause 1 second: Pause Each gesture is a clear movement followed by a quick return to a relaxed position. This helps Motune distinguish intentional controls from normal wrist movement and arm swing. MADE FOR REAL MOVEMENT Motune is designed for: • Running and walking • Cycling and open-ear headphone use • Gym workouts • Commuting • Cooking or working with wet hands • Outdoor use with gloves • Moments when pulling out your phone is inconvenient Motune does not replace AirPods, Shokz, Siri, Spotify, Apple Music, or Apple Watch controls. It is a separate gesture remote for the moments when those options are inconvenient. GUIDED GESTURE PRACTICE Motune includes a guided practice flow to help new users learn each gesture. After iPhone and Apple Watch are ready, users can practice gestures one by one, receive success feedback, skip any step, or continue practice later from Settings. During gesture practice, recognized gestures are used for training feedback and do not execute music controls. CUSTOMIZABLE CONTROLS You can customize which music action each gesture performs. Keep the default mapping, swap actions, or disable gestures you do not want to use. LIVE ACTIVITY STATUS Motune can show gesture-control status through iPhone Live Activity and Apple Watch Smart Stack Live Activity while Workout Gesture Mode is active. The iPhone Lock Screen can show current action, previous action, and today's gesture count. Dynamic Island shows the Motune logo and current action status. PRIVACY FIRST Motune does not require an account. Motune does not use advertising SDKs, third-party analytics SDKs, or cross-app tracking. Motion sensor data is processed locally for gesture recognition. Motune does not read heart rate, steps, calories, workout history, activity rings, or other health records. Workout Gesture Mode starts only when the user turns it on, and is used to keep wrist gesture music controls active during exercise. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone running iOS 18 or later • Apple Watch running watchOS 11 or later • Apple Watch paired with iPhone • Motune installed on both iPhone and Apple Watch • Motion permission on Apple Watch • Health permission only if the user starts Workout Gesture Mode Motune is a convenience tool for music playback control. It is not a medical app, fitness coaching app, or health analysis app.

Freeze a performance edition of your setlist with each song’s concert key, capo position and matching written chord shapes, then export the complete PDF book. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a setlist from saved charts, then open Gig Book from Setlists. 2. Create an edition, choose concert roots and capo positions, and add performance notes. Read each written-shape chart. 3. Save the edition, build its complete PDF, preview it and share the PDF with its edition record. Transpose, capo suggestions, Nashville numbers, setlist Stage Mode, samples and chart history remain available. Stage Mode now displays the written chord shapes that match its recommended capo. Long PDF charts flow across pages without silently clipping their final text. WHAT TO KNOW Up to 20 songs per book and 50 saved editions. Source charts are copied into the edition, so later library edits do not change it. Transposition is chromatic; minor labeling does not reharmonize a song. Use a standard full capo and verify the arrangement before performing. Share only charts you have permission to distribute. iPhone and iPad.
