Describe the song you have in mind, in a few words, and motifs makes the whole thing: the music, the lyrics, the voice singing them, and the cover. Your first song is free. You don't need to sing, play an instrument, or write lyrics. You write what you want to hear — a mood, a story, someone you love, a joke between friends — and press generate. A few minutes later you have a finished song, with its own title and cover. You can listen while it is being made, and if you allow notifications, we tell you the moment it is ready. WHO IT'S FOR motifs is for people who want to make a song and share it with someone close to them. A song for a friend's birthday, a song for a couple, a running joke turned into a chorus. It is not a professional production tool and it is not a music catalogue: there is no public feed, and your songs stay private to your account. PICK A PRODUCER, OR DON'T Before you generate, you can pick a producer. These are real people who agreed to take part: each wrote the style behind their own pack, their name is used with their permission, and they earn a share of what their pack makes. Every producer has a sound of their own — the instruments, the era, the mood — and it shapes how your song sounds, never what it says. SHARE A SNIPPET Choose fifteen to sixty seconds of your song and motifs turns it into a vertical video: the cover, the title, and the lyrics lighting up word by word in time with the singing. Ready to post. HOW IT WORKS motifs is an intermediary between you and several AI models, and would rather say plainly which one does what. The music is generated by Treblo. The cover is generated by FLUX.1 [schnell] on fal.ai. Claude orchestrates: it blends the producer's style into your idea, writes the song's title, and writes the description for the cover. WHAT WE PUT IN PLACE Before anything is generated, the words you write are checked: if they ask to imitate a named real artist or to redo an existing song, the app asks you to rephrase — to describe a style, a mood, an era instead — and nothing is generated. Genres, eras, instruments and the subject of your song are never affected. AI-generated content is labelled as such in the app. Producers are real, consenting and paid — and never imitated: their name is never sent to the models, only the style they wrote. Your songs are private. And a generation that fails is always refunded. No subscription: you buy tokens when you need them.

About

SameBeat

Features
Read full description

SameBeat plays the same music at the same moment on several iPhones. Everyone connects their phone to a speaker or car stereo, or just uses its built-in speaker: together, you get more sound, everywhere. • At a party with no big speaker: place a few phones around the room and fill it with sound. • On the road: several cars side by side, the same album, at the same moment. HOW IT WORKS - The host creates a session and gives the 4-digit code to friends. - Friends join the session with that code. - The host picks one of their playlists or an album: everyone plays together. WHY SAMEBEAT • You really choose the music: your Apple Music playlists and albums, or the whole catalog. • Careful sync: from their screen, the host fine-tunes each phone in 10-millisecond steps. • No internet needed: if everyone has downloaded the music, the session works offline, directly between phones. • A co-host can also choose the music and control playback. • Private sessions: nobody joins without the code, and the host can remove a phone. • No data collected, no account, no ads. GOOD TO KNOW • Each iPhone needs its own Apple Music subscription: SameBeat doesn't stream audio, each phone plays the music from its own account. • Phones connect to each other over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with no server. Keep the app open on the host's phone. • Up to 8 phones per session.
