A pocket studio for musicians. Two taps and you're recording. Develop the idea, and keep every version you make. CAPTURE Two taps from your pocket. Audio or video, straight from launch. Calls, alarms, and force quits can't eat a take: interrupted recordings are saved and recovered. • Start recording from a Lock Screen widget, the Action Button, or Siri • Film when you need to see the hands, with your lyrics scrolling over the camera • When the idea shows up as words, Write opens a blank sheet with the keyboard up DEVELOP The tools you reach for next. Lyrics with chords over the words, a tuner for guitar, bass and ukulele, a metronome, a playable piano, ear training, and a chord library you can hear. • Rhymes while you write, in English and Spanish, all offline • Chord suggestions in your key, and one-tap transpose with capo hints • Alternate tunings: Drop D, DADGAD, Eb Standard, Open G • Tap tempo, odd meters, and a metronome that keeps time on the Lock Screen • Loop any section of a take to learn your own part back • Stand mode, for reading your lyrics on a music stand KEEP Nothing gets written over. Every take lands in your Vault with versions, notes, and trims. Local first, synced through your own iCloud if you choose. • Projects hold every version, with tempo, key, tags, and notes • Notes pinned to the exact second of a take • Trim a take and keep the trim as a new version • Bring finished mixes in from Files, Mail, or AirDrop and keep them with their demos • Add a title to a video take and send it to TikTok or Instagram • Old ideas come back around on their own Free, with no account, no ads, and no subscription.
