Earworm - Hum It. Get MIDI.

Hum it. Get MIDI. No subscription, no upload.

Every musician knows the moment: a melody arrives, you hum it into a voice memo, and it dies there. Earworm closes the gap — drop in any recording and get a clean, editable MIDI file for any DAW.

Key Features

  • One app, every instrument: humming, singing, whistling, piano, guitar. Record in the app, import a file, or share a Voice Memo straight in.
  • MIDI your DAW actually accepts: standard MIDI files that open correctly in Logic, Ableton, FL Studio, GarageBand, Cubase, or anything else. Pitch bends from slides and vibrato survive the round trip.
  • Wrong notes become a slider: transcription apps love to add notes that aren't there. The full analysis stays on your device, so onset threshold, note splitting, and minimum note length re-derive the whole result instantly as you drag — no re-processing, no waiting, no per-run charges.
  • A real editor, not just a converter: piano-roll editing with playback — delete, drag, resize, transpose, adjust velocity, undo. Audition the MIDI over your original recording to hear exactly where it lands.
  • Tempo on your terms: tap tempo, set BPM by hand, and quantize to a grid only if you want to.
  • Private by architecture: Data Not Collected. No accounts, no analytics, no networking at all.

Every note computed on your iPhone

Nothing is ever uploaded. There is no account, no server, and no internet connection required — try the whole app in airplane mode. The model ships inside the app, so it works on first launch with no download, and your recordings and transcriptions leave the device only when you export them yourself.

Honest about limits

Earworm shines on melodies, vocals, and single instruments with simple polyphony. It is not built for full-band mixes, it is not a drum transcriber, and it is not a real-time effect — it transcribes files and clips. Files up to 10 minutes.

We would rather say this here than have you find out after paying.

Pricing

Five complete transcriptions are free — full length, full quality, full MIDI export, no watermark, no truncation, no account. The counter is spent only when a transcription is produced.

After that, a one-time lifetime unlock covers unlimited transcriptions, with Family Sharing included. The App Store always shows the current local price before purchase. No subscription. No tokens. No consumables. It runs on your iPhone — that's why we can charge once.
