What’s New Version 1.11.1
• Background audio — keep recording and playing while the screen is locked or you're in another app
• Lock Screen playback controls
• Stereo recording toggle for the built-in microphones
• Stop always rewinds to the start
• Bug fixes and stability improvements
Description
Record yourself in layers — instantly.
No timeline. No tracks. No setup. Just press record and build your idea.
Start with one take, then overdub as many parts as you want while listening back. It’s the fastest way to turn a quick idea into something real — before it disappears.
---
HOW IT WORKS
1. Record a layer
2. Record another while listening back
3. Repeat until it’s built
4. Mix and export
Everything happens on one screen.
---
BUILT-IN MIXER
Each layer has its own volume fader and mute button. Dial in your balance, try different combinations, and shape your mix before export. All changes are non-destructive — your original recordings stay intact.
---
REAL-TIME WAVEFORMS
See your audio as you record. Live waveforms make it easy to spot silence, clipping, and timing at a glance, and scroll smoothly during playback.
---
TAPE WARMTH
A one-knob analog-style effect for warmth and glue. Add subtle saturation or push it for lo-fi character — or leave it clean.
---
LOOP MODE
Tap the loop button while recording to set your loop length and instantly start overdubbing — like a hardware looper pedal. Or use it during playback to cycle while you practice before laying down the next part.
---
PROJECTS
Your work saves automatically. Come back anytime — your layers and mix will be right where you left them.
---
EXPORT
Share your mix as M4A (small, compressed) or WAV (lossless, full quality). Premium also unlocks stem export, so you can export individual layers as a ZIP.
Send to Files, AirDrop to your Mac, or share to any app.

WHO IT’S FOR
