Your phone is full of New Recording 47. Graba catches ideas in two taps, keeps every version, and throws in a real tuner and metronome. Free, no subscription.
Every musician's phone is a graveyard of "New Recording 47." Graba is the songwriter's pocket studio: catch the idea in two taps, develop it, and keep every version in one place.
CATCH IT
- Two taps from cold launch to recording
- Interruption proof: calls, alarms, and route changes never lose a take
- Lock Screen widget and Action Button support
- Video takes when you need to see the hands
- A Write button for when the idea arrives as words, not sound
KEEP IT
- Projects with versions, tags, tempo, key, and notes
- Timestamped notes pinned to the exact second ("1:42, double the pre-chorus")
- Import finished mixes from Mail, Files, or AirDrop and keep them with the demos they came from
- Trim any take, and keep the trim as a new version or replace the original
- Old ideas resurface on their own so nothing rots in the archive
WRITE IT
- Lyric sheets with inline chords that render above the words
- Chord suggestions that match your key, with the progressions songwriters actually use
- Rhymes while you write, in English and Spanish, perfect and near. Offline, rule based, no account and no waiting
- One-tap transpose with capo hints
- A stand-readable view for rehearsal
PLAY IT
- A fast, accurate chromatic tuner with alternate tunings (Drop D, DADGAD, Eb Standard, Open G) plus bass and ukulele
- A rock-solid metronome with tap tempo, odd meters, haptics, and locked-screen operation
- Loop any section of any take to learn your own part back
- A playable piano, a chord library of 165+ shapes, and ear training
SHOW IT
- Film with your lyrics scrolling over the camera, held high so reading them keeps your eyes near the lens
- Add a title and text to a video take and save it or send it straight out
YOURS, PERIOD
- Everything lives on your device, backed up to your own iCloud
- No account, no ads, no subscription, and storage is never paywalled
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Words can start the idea now, not just sound.
- Write, right on the home screen: a blank sheet with the keyboard up. Unfiled sheets live in the Vault beside your takes and name themselves from their first line.
- Rhymes while you write: English and Spanish, perfect and near, all offline. Press a word to look one up.
- Teleprompter: film with your lyrics scrolling over the camera preview, held high so reading them keeps your eyes near the lens.
- Add a title and text to a video: the titled clip stays in the app as a new version, with an optional fade out.
- Small fixes and polish throughout.
