Topline Songwriting

Capture a melody the moment it arrives, then hear it back over the chords you meant.

Topline is a voice memo app built for songwriting. Hum a melody, sing a line, or strum an idea, and it is saved the moment you stop. When you want more than a bare recording, attach a chord progression or a backing track and record over it.

RECORD FIRST • One big record button, always within reach of your thumb • Full-bandwidth audio so vocals and guitar sound like they did in the room • Start a recording hands-free with Siri while you are driving or playing

LYRICS THAT WRITE THEMSELVES • Recordings are transcribed automatically into searchable lyrics • Fix a misheard word with a tap, or swap it for a rhyme or synonym • Search every recording by title or by any line you sang

AN OPTIONAL MUSIC LAYER • Build a backing progression from the chords in your key, shown with Nashville numbers • Piano or Rhodes voicings, drone, metronome, tempo, and time signature • Import your own backing track and set where it starts • Engage or silence the chords and the backing independently for the next take

MADE TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY • Recordings and lyrics live on your device • Light, dark, or follow the system • Share a take as an audio file from anywhere in the app

Topline is for the first two minutes of a song: the part where you need to get it down before it disappears.
