Transform your iPhone or iPad into a professional audio analysis workstation. Audiolyze delivers real-time spectrum analysis, waterfall spectrograms, and oscilloscope visualization with the precision tools you need for sound engineering, acoustic analysis, and audio production. SPECTRUM ANALYZER Visualize audio frequencies in real-time with a high-resolution FFT spectrum analyzer. Choose from multiple display modes (dB, Amplitude, Power) and trace styles (smooth spline curves, linear, or classic bars). Switch between logarithmic and linear frequency scales, and select from multiple constant-Q resolutions for RTA analysis, from 1 octave down to 1/24 octave precision. WATERFALL SPECTROGRAM Track how your audio evolves over time with a scrolling 2D spectrogram display. Capture up to 20 seconds of frequency history to identify temporal patterns, transients, and spectral changes that a standard analyzer would miss. OSCILLOSCOPE Examine waveforms in the time domain with a responsive oscilloscope view. Multiple trigger modes (rising edge, falling edge, auto, free-run) help you capture stable waveforms, with adjustable amplitude scaling and trigger threshold controls. HARMONIC ANALYSIS Automatically detect and display harmonics with intelligent fundamental frequency tracking. View overtone relationships, cent deviations, and harmonic order labels overlaid directly on the spectrum — valuable for tuning, voicing, and timbre analysis. SPL REFERENCE LEVELS View relative sound pressure level readings with a built-in SPL meter. Calibrate against an external reference meter to align readings, with optional Z-weighting (flat response) or A-weighting (human hearing curve). Provided for reference and comparison; not a substitute for a certified, type-approved sound level meter. ADVANCED SIGNAL PROCESSING - Multiple FFT sizes (512 to 4096 samples) - Selectable window functions: Hann, Blackman-Harris, Flat-Top - Configurable frame overlap (0-75%) for improved averaging - Rolling window and exponential smoothing modes - High-pass and low-pass filters with adjustable slopes (6/12/18 dB per octave) CUSTOMIZE YOUR WORKFLOW - Peak hold display with decay - Snapshot comparison for before/after analysis - Visual glow effects for enhanced readability - Sparse or dense grid overlays - Save and recall custom presets for each visualization mode FOR SOUND ENGINEERS & MUSICIANS Whether you're a sound engineer tuning a PA system, a musician analyzing instrument tone, a podcaster optimizing room acoustics, or an audio enthusiast exploring the science of sound, Audiolyze provides the analytical depth you need in a beautiful, intuitive interface. EVERYTHING UNLOCKED Every feature is available from the moment you launch. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no paywalls, and no ads. Works on iPhone and iPad. Optimized for performance with GPU-accelerated Metal rendering. Available in 13 languages.
TakeSheet

Take Sheet is the take sheet, reinvented — a fast, dedicated app for logging recording sessions in real time, built for engineers, producers, and musicians who still reach for a paper take sheet or a shared spreadsheet. It's not a DAW. It doesn't record audio or host plugins. It replaces the clipboard: log every take — number, rating, keeper flag, mic chain, and notes — in under a second, without breaking your flow at the console. DURING THE SESSION • Log takes in one or two taps — built for console speed • Flag keepers and rate takes as you go • Track mic placement, signal chain, and notes per take • Attach photos of mic setups, console screens, and charts • Organize by project → session → track → take AFTER THE SESSION • Import bounce files and play them back right in the app • Auto-queue your keeper takes into a playback list • Sync sessions to your Calendar • Export professional PDF and CSV take sheets to hand off to a mix engineer • Export a full Bounce Bundle ZIP for the artist or band LEARN AS YOU GO Take Sheet includes a built-in instrument encyclopedia — mic placement guidance, typical signal chains, and reference recordings per instrument — free for everyone, whether you're tracking your first session or your five-hundredth. BUILT FOR EVERY DEVICE A true native app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac — not a scaled-up phone app. Your projects sync automatically across all your devices via iCloud. ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Try Take Sheet free with up to 3 projects and the full insck Pro once — unlimited projects, full iCloud sync,unlimited attachments, bounce file playback, calendar sync, and every export format — and it's yours forever. No subscription, ever. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://take-sheet-landing.vercel.app/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Audiolyze at none against TakeSheet's 1. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
