Pick any pitch across the full chromatic range and hold it as long as you need โ€” no loops, no seams, just a perfectly steady note with warm overtones. Blend waveforms, soften the attack, and dial in detuned layers to shape the texture. Set a gentle fade timer and let a single tone carry you into stillness. Background audio, AirPlay, and headphones โ€” your drone keeps glowing wherever you go. Perfect for meditation, breathwork, deep focus, sleep, and musical practice or tuning. โ€” SUBSCRIPTION โ€” Premium unlocks all features.

About

BEAN VOICE

Features
Read full description

BEAN VOICE shows you what your voice is actually doing. Open a recording and it draws the pitch line over time, so you can see where you went flat, where you wobbled, and where the note settled. It marks which register you were in rather than guessing from loudness alone. It also reads how open your mouth was, how much air was in the tone, and where the energy sat in the sound. The Range view shows how long and how loud you held each semitone, and Tension by pitch shows whether your throat tightens as you go higher. None of that is a score out of ten. It is a picture of the take, so you can compare today with last week. Works with anything you have recorded, including the sound from a video. Live analysis draws the note and register of what you are singing right now; nothing is recorded or sent anywhere. About the license The app works without a license: opening a recording, all six views, live analysis, the measured values, and playback are all free. A license removes the ad shown when you open the app, and turns on the AI analysis.
