Capture fast
Record ideas directly on your device with a simple workflow designed to stay out of your way.
AUDIO SCRATCHPAD
Capture. Create.
Never lose an idea.
RoughTake is built for the moment inspiration hits. Record a musical idea fast, then keep the details that matter—BPM, tuning, notes, folders, waveform playback, and timestamped notes—without opening a full DAW.

RoughTake is where songs start—not where they have to finish.
BUILT FOR MUSICIANS
Get the idea down before it disappears.
Document the details
Save BPM, tuning, general notes, and timestamped notes beside each Take.
Stay organized
Name Takes, sort them into folders, and keep musical ideas easier to find later.
Work with the audio
Scrub waveform playback, use Tap Tempo, count-in, metronome modes, and clipping feedback.
Retake without friction
Try another pass quickly while keeping the recording setup you were already using.
Share when ready
Send a Take to a bandmate, collaborator, or yourself when the idea is ready to move forward.
NOT A DAW
Less setup.
More creating.
RoughTake isn't trying to replace your recording software. It's designed for the stage before that: the melody you don't want to forget, the riff you found by accident, the rhythm that showed up during rehearsal, or the song idea that arrived at the worst possible time.
Capture it. Label it. Add what you know. Come back when you're ready.
