Sampledex Producer Notes vs Tally

Keep your musical ideas, session notes, and next steps together. Sampledex Producer Notes brings a rich text notebook, a task organizer, and MIDI chord tools into one native Mac workspace. Capture an idea during a session, plan the work ahead, and carry your chord progressions into your music software. WRITE WITH CONTEXT Create session logs, song ideas, artist notes, and release plans. Use headings, fonts, colors, highlights, lists, checklists, tables, web links, and images with captions. Add artist, song, and beat details so each note stays connected to the project. KEEP THE SESSION MOVING Turn follow-ups into tasks with status and due dates. Focus on what is open, due today, overdue, waiting, or complete. Search across your notes and tasks, sort your workspace, and reuse templates for recurring work. EXPLORE CHORD IDEAS Choose a root, chord type, octave, tempo, and length. See the notes on a piano keyboard, listen to chords, and arrange them into progressions. Reorder or duplicate steps, adjust their length, then export a standard MIDI file or drag it into compatible music software.

Tally answers one question: where did my day actually go? Your day is a 24-hour dial of 15-minute blocks. Tap the center, pick a category from the radial fan, and Tally keeps logging that task until you switch to the next one. No timers to remember to stop — you tap when your attention moves, and the dial fills in behind you. DESIGNED FOR CAPTURE, NOT CEREMONY • Running capture: one tap starts a task; it keeps filling blocks until you switch or end your day • Radial fan: your six most-used categories, one tap from the center of the dial • Mosaic editor: back-fill or fix any block of the day with taps or drags • Automatic driving detection: time on the road logs itself (with your permission, on-device) A REAL WATCH APP • Start, switch, and stop tasks from your wrist — full parity with the phone • A complication shows what's running right now • End your day or resume it from either device; both always agree SEE WHERE THE TIME WENT • Day summary: tracked hours and your work/personal split at a glance • Reports: donut and breakdown by category, by week and month • Export a clean PDF of any period PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data stays on your devices. No account, no sign-up, no servers, no analytics, no tracking. Motion data for driving detection never leaves your phone. Tally is for anyone who has reached the end of a day and wondered what happened to it: freelancers accounting for hours, people balancing work and family, or anyone trying to be honest with themselves about where the time goes.
