Your First Recording
Open Good Take and tap the record button. That’s it — hum a melody, strum some chords, tap a rhythm, or speak lyrics. When you’re done, tap stop.
Good Take immediately analyzes your recording on-device and shows you the detected key, BPM, and a transcription if you sang or spoke.
The Library
Every recording lands in your library. You’ll see the title (editable), the detected key, BPM, and duration. Tap any recording to see its full details and play it back.
What Happens Automatically
When you save a recording, Good Take runs on-device analysis to detect:
- Key — the musical key of your idea
- BPM — tempo from onset analysis
- Transcription — speech-to-text in 60+ languages
Key and BPM detection run on your device. Transcription uses Apple’s Speech framework, which can process some languages on-device but may send audio to Apple’s servers for others. See our privacy policy for details.
