Kalimo brings score import, kalimba practice, on-screen performance, and music creation together on iPhone and iPad. Arrange your scores for a standard 17-key C kalimba and practice with falling notes.

Kalimo Studio is an auto-renewing monthly or annual subscription. It adds multipart creation, editing, recording and mixing, additional instruments, advanced score and audio exports, and removes the three-workspace limit. Device storage and supported song-size limits still apply. The annual plan offers a seven-day free trial for eligible users. Check pricing, eligibility, and renewal terms before purchase. Saved songs are not automatically deleted when a subscription ends. Existing Studio songs remain available for viewing, playback, and MIDI export. Playback requires that the instruments used by the song remain intact on your device. ■ Data and privacy Your source scores, arrangements, recordings, library, and preferences stay on your device and are not sent to a developer server. There is no app account, advertising, or tracking. Purchase verification and additional-instrument downloads communicate with Apple and the delivery service. See the Privacy Policy for connection information and delivery diagnostics. Kalimo does not provide its own cloud synchronization between devices. ■ Before you begin Requires iOS or iPadOS 18 or later. iPhone uses landscape orientation. iPad is optimized for landscape and also supports portrait and window resizing. MIDI import supports SMF Type 0/1 with PPQ timing. Transposition, octave changes, or reduced chords and accompaniment may be needed to fit the kalimba. Difficulty varies with the score, tempo, and performer. Recording captures the touch keys or MIDI input. It does not record ambient sound or judge a physical kalimba through the microphone. Use scores and exported works only with the necessary rights or permission.

Bent Spool is a creative effect that can transform simple musical parts into unexpected rhythms and melodies, played live or as an effect in your favorite host app. Shape a tremolo pulse, turn a note into a run of pitched repeats, or build a moving layer from fragments of what you just played. Drive the input with built-in overdrive or fuzz, add a core effect, then finally layer in vintage analog tape effects. THREE MODES TREM: a pulsing volume effect, from a rounded sine through triangle and sawtooth to a hard square gate. Syncs to your host's tempo or runs free. REPEAT: up to 64 pitched copies with their own decay and feedback, across five pitch stations from two octaves down to two octaves up. LOOPS: up to six overlapping fragments of your recent audio, spread across pitch, direction, read position and the stereo field. CHARACTER CHAOS adds movement that suits each mode: octave jumps in REPEAT, held or stalled pulses in TREM, wandering reversals and pitch drift in LOOPS. WEAR adds tape wear, magnetic saturation and digital crush after the active mode. At the input, OD is a softer clip; FUZZ is a harder distortion that sputters as it decays. PRESETS 48 factory presets: 10 TREM, 15 REPEAT, 15 LOOPS and an 8-preset Fuzz Tremolo pack. Unlock to save your own. FREE TO TRY TREM plays in full on the OD voice with ten presets. No time limit, no interruptions. A single $9.99 in-app purchase unlocks REPEAT, LOOPS, FUZZ, the rest of the presets and preset saving. No subscription. Runs as a standalone app or as an AUv3 effect in AUM, Loopy Pro and other AUv3 hosts, on iPhone and iPad.
