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.

Import a song, sing along, and your voice lands on the same notes the original singer hit. MotTune separates the vocal from the backing track, then extracts the original singer's entire pitch curve. All you do is sing. Every slide, scoop and vibrato of the original phrasing stays intact - only your pitch gets corrected. ■ Decide after you record What gets recorded is your raw voice. Correction happens on playback, so you never have to sing it again: turn one knob to move from full robotic auto-tune to naturally in-tune. Export whatever you settle on. ■ Fix pitch with your eyes In the vocal editor, the extracted pitch appears as bars across a 12-colour note grid. Long-press and drag to transpose in semitones, cut notes apart with the scissors, or flatten them for a robotic effect. Every edit has multi-level undo. ■ Mixer and effects Level and pan for the backing track, the original vocal and your own voice, plus fine timing offset. The 10-band equaliser is provided separately for the backing track and for your voice. Doubler, delay, reverb, overdrive, distortion and bit crusher are all built in. Save any setup by name and recall it on another song instantly. ■ Perform live from your phone The Live list plays the backing track while correcting your microphone in real time, with no added latency. One phone and a pair of earphones is a complete rig for practice, streaming or the stage. The Play list runs your finished takes back to back, fully mixed. ■ Voice changer Works without a song. Shift formants to change the character of your voice, transpose in semitones, lock to a fixed note for a classic robotic sound, or switch on the vocoder. Recordings can be saved and shared as they are. ■ Export Bounce the full mix to M4A, WAV, or hi-res WAV (24-bit / 48 kHz). Save to the Files app or share directly. Pitch data can also be exported as MIDI. ■ About earphones (important) Wired earphones are required. Recording always uses the built-in microphone, even when your earphones have a mic of their own. Bluetooth earphones do work, but they add a large delay while recording that makes singing difficult. Audio interfaces are recognised automatically when connected. ■ Made for - Making cover songs - Karaoke practice, where you want to see your pitch - Playing with robotic auto-tuned vocals - Live shows and DJ sets that need corrected vocals on the spot Two songs are free. Premium removes the limit - choose monthly, yearly, or a one-time purchase. Requires iPhone or iPad running iOS 16 or later. Available in 10 languages: English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, Spanish, French, German, Russian and Portuguese.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Motune at none against MotTune's 3. MotTune's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
