Field notes
The homepage lays out a sequence from selecting a progression and groove to recording a vocal take, drafting lyrics, and exporting audio. Its feature table distinguishes a free starter set from Pro additions, including WAV and MIDI exports; the listed Pro options are $19.99 once or $9.99 per year. The page says songs remain on the iPhone and that the app works offline, while also marking the iPhone release as coming soon.
