Tide: Beautiful Voice Notes
Beautiful layered voice notes
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
1.2: open straight into your sketch. record through anything, move the cursor mid-take, loop a slice and share just that. seven looks, one tape.
Tide turns voice notes into something you actually want to keep — and share.
Most voice memos are throwaway. Tide is for the ones that matter: the melody stuck in your head, the verse before you forget it, the rhythm you tapped on a table. Hit record, layer take on take onto a single tape, and watch each one paint itself into a living picture.
LAYER YOUR SOUND
Stack voice, humming, beatbox, anything — every pass adds to the last. One tape, no clutter, no setup. Move the cursor while you record; the take follows you.
SEVEN WAYS TO SEE IT
Calm bars, watercolor triangles, swaying grass, a gold-and-blue sonogram that lays every take down like sediment, and more. Switching looks re-skins the whole app.
SCRATCH AND SCRUB
Drag across your take to scrub through it like vinyl — fast or slow, with natural momentum. A timeline strip shows the whole sketch; set in and out markers to loop the good part.
REAL EFFECTS
Host your AUv3 plugins (and Apple's built-ins) in a two-patch rack with an XY performance pad. Effects print to tape — what you hear is what you keep.
CAPTURE, THEN SHIP
Tap record, get the idea down, send it out. Export a take — or just the looped slice — straight to Choppa, to the members wall, or anywhere. Opens right back into your last sketch, exactly where you left it.
The fastest path from "I have an idea" to "here, listen to this."
1.2 is the flow update. tide gets out of your way and follows along.
— open the app, you're in your last sketch. zen mode by default: the canvas is the show.
— the view follows the cursor while you record instead of shrinking the picture. pinch to zoom back out whenever.
— move the cursor WHILE recording — tap anywhere, keep going. the take splits cleanly, no click, no stopping.
— a timeline strip under the canvas shows the whole sketch as a tiny sonogram. drag it to jump. set in/out markers on it to loop a slice — and exports respect them, so you can ship just the good bar.
— share does more: send a take to choppa, drop it on the members wall, or the plain share sheet. your loop markers ride along.
— seven looks, reworked: CALM leads. WAKE paints every take as a gold-and-blue sonogram stratum. WAVELOOP is the classic triangles, now sparser. meadow grass got finer, with a tint per take.
— plug-in effects: host AUv3 (and apple's built-ins) in a two-patch rack with an XY pad — violet is A, cyan is B, same as layerz. set the rack up in one app, it's there in the other.
— recording survives everything now: phone calls, siri, the mic being stolen. your take is saved, the app picks up where it left off.
— every take draws at its own full height — quiet ideas aren't hairlines anymore.
— clear a sketch and start over (it asks first). settings rebuilt, with a design-system screen at the bottom if you like seeing the parts.
