Three steps between having an idea and never losing it.
One tap to record. Hum a melody, strum chords, tap a rhythm, or speak lyrics. Import audio from other apps or create text-only ideas. Session mode lets you capture multiple ideas back-to-back without stopping.
Instant on-device analysis detects the key, tempo, chords, and transcribes your vocals. Know what you played before you forget.
Search, filter, and tag your ideas. Group them into projects. Export audio, MIDI, or full project bundles to bring into your DAW.
Everything runs on your device. No data leaves your phone.
Work out melodies, test chord voicings, or just noodle between takes. Seven instruments, built-in effects, and scale lock so you never hit a wrong note.
Lock to any key and scale — highlighted keys guide you, so every note fits. Great for exploring modes or writing in unfamiliar keys.
Two ways to build beats — tap them out on pads or program them step by step in the sequencer. Record patterns straight into ideas, export to your DAW, or just jam.
Everything you need between ideas — no extra apps required. Six more tools built in.
Real-time pitch detection with cents offset and reference tone.
40-240 BPM, tap tempo, configurable beats per measure.
Transpose chord progressions by semitones. Hear both versions.
12 roots, 16 scale types, diatonic chords, common progressions.
Forward and reverse lookup. Know what you hear vs. what you play.
Block-based sessions with presets, history tracking, and notifications.
Bring your own Claude or ChatGPT API key for context-aware musical suggestions. The AI sees your key, BPM, chords, and transcription — then suggests chord progressions, lyrics, arrangements, drum patterns, and more. Custom instructions let you shape the AI's style.
AI is optional and additive. Every core feature works completely offline.
Start recording immediately. No sign-up, no login, no friction.
No paywalls, no trials, no upsells.
No analytics, no ads, no data collection. Zero third-party SDKs.
Key detection, BPM, chords, transcription — all of it runs on your device. Nothing gets uploaded.
Optional sync through Apple's infrastructure. We don't run servers. We never see your data.
AI features use your own keys, stored in iOS Keychain encryption. We never see your keys or your requests.
No background uploads, no silent sync. Your recordings only leave your device when you hit export or share.
Trash gives you 30 days to recover. After that, it's gone — from your device and nowhere else, because we don't have your data.
Good Take is available for iPhone and iPad — with an adaptive layout that makes the most of every screen size. Join the beta on TestFlight.
