Read full descriptionHide full description
Bring a song. Make it yours. WaveCraft works on the songs you already have: an audio file in Files, or the sound of a video in your Photos. Pull a song apart, shape how it sounds, and export it in full quality. REMOVE VOCALS, KEEP THE MUSIC AI splits any song into vocals and instrumental. Make a karaoke or backing track, or pull out an a cappella. Hear the whole separated song free before you decide; Pro is only needed to add the result to your project. SING ALONG, MAKE A COVER Use the backing track as your stage: record your own vocal on top, line it up and mix it in. MAKE A SONG SOUND BETTER Studio effects with 30+ presets, from EQ, compression and reverb to delay and chorus, each with a before/after A/B so you hear exactly what changed. Shift the pitch or change the tempo to practice or to sing in your key. Clean up noise and even out loudness in one tap. FROM VIDEO TO AUDIO Take the sound out of any video, whether it is a live performance, a lesson or a clip, and start working on it. EXPORT IN FULL QUALITY WAV, FLAC, ALAC or AAC, up to 32-bit float. Free, always: every effect and preset, pitch and tempo, denoise, loudness, unlimited tracks and lossless export. Pro adds: keeping AI vocal separation results, auto-mix, the mastering chain, stem export and batch export.

sicnote is the lyric-writing notebook built for real songwriters β phonetic rhymes as you type, per-line voice recordings, and an AI co-writer that runs free and on-device and actually knows what your song is about. REAL RHYMES. NOT SPELLING MATCHES. Most apps match spelling. sicnote matches sound. Powered by an on-device phonetic engine (124,000+ words), it knows "move" doesn't rhyme with "love." True sound-alike words appear instantly above your keyboard as you write β English phonetic rhymes work with no Wi-Fi. WRITE IN YOUR DIALECT. 21 regional slang modes: Puerto Rico, Dominican, Mexico, Colombia, Atlanta, NYC, Miami, Houston, UK Drill, Jamaica, Toronto, and more. Each scene has its own vocabulary. Slang suggestions are ranked by how well they fit your song's theme, so you get words that actually belong in the verse. RECORD WHILE YOU WRITE. Every line has its own mic. Hum the melody before it disappears, lay down multiple takes, star the keeper, then play your whole song straight through line by line. AI THAT STAYS ON-THEME β POWERED BY APPLE INTELLIGENCE. The AI co-writer runs free and entirely on your device β no key, no account, no subscription. Set a one-sentence anchor β "a rainy drive after a sudden breakup" β and every suggestion stays true to it (or tap Suggest and let the AI write the anchor from your lyrics). It can critique your chorus, rewrite your hook, break down your song, and suggest the next line β and every suggested line is checked against the rhyme engine, so the options actually rhyme in your song's language. (The AI co-writer needs an Apple Intelligence iPhone β iPhone 15 Pro or newer. Everything else works on any iPhone.) FREEWRITE FIRST. STRUCTURE LATER. Just dump your ideas. Then tap "Suggest structure" and sicnote proposes which lines are verses and which are choruses. Accept, reject, rename β done. PERFORM MODE. Tap any word to annotate it: sing louder, hold-extend. Turn your lyric sheet into a teleprompter with built-in vocal markings. EXPORT ANYWHERE. Share individual songs or your full library β lyrics as clean Markdown (paste into Google Docs, Notion, or email to your co-writer), and your recordings as audio. Phonetic rhymes, syllable counts, slang, and rhyme-scheme color-coding run on-device. No account, no sign-in. Your lyrics, recordings, and AI co-writer stay on your phone. ββ sicnote is for singer-songwriters, rappers, reggaetΓ³n and Latin music writers, freestylers, and anyone who captures ideas on their phone first and figures out the structure later.
