Everything you need, nothing you don't

  • Grid-based sequencer. Bars and tracks laid out like a map of your song. Build structure fast and rework ideas in seconds.
  • Fast capture, zero friction. Open Skatch, set your tempo, hit record.
  • Clip editing. Trim, move, copy and delete clips with visual waveforms.
  • Loop mode. Loop any section for jamming and live iteration, and feel your idea before committing to it.
  • Tap tempo and BPM control. Set the groove with tap tempo or dial in a precise BPM, with volume control on each track.
  • Export and share. Export your full mix as a WAV file. Send it to a friend or import it into your DAW.
  • Import audio. Bring external audio clips into your project.

The fastest way to capture a structured musical idea

Skatch is a mobile multitrack sequencer designed for one thing: getting a musical idea out of your head and into a structured recording before it disappears. Open the app, set your tempo, hit record.

Unlike a voice memo app, Skatch gives your idea a real structure. Unlike a mobile DAW, it never pulls you into mixing, effects or endless tweaking. It stays out of your way so you can stay in the creative moment.

Who it's for

Skatch is built for musicians who generate ideas faster than they can record them.

  • Songwriters who need to lock down a chord progression, a melody or a rough demo structure.
  • Guitarists who want to remember a riff before it's gone, layered over a rhythm track.
  • Vocalists and beatboxers who layer loops one track at a time, without a full studio setup.
  • Producers who want a quick pre-production sketch on their phone before opening their studio DAW.
  • Anyone frustrated by mobile DAWs, with too many screens and too much friction for a simple idea.

Between voice memos and a full DAW

Voice memos capture audio but give you no structure. A mobile DAW demands your attention before you've even played a note. Skatch sits in between: the speed of a voice recorder, with the structure of a multitrack sequencer.

Each cell on the grid represents one bar on one track. Record a hook on track 1, a bassline on track 2, a rhythm on track 3. Move clips around, trim them, and loop a section to check the feel.

A musical notebook, not a production tool

Skatch has no virtual instruments, no effects chains and no automation lanes. That's a deliberate choice: the goal is to keep you in the sketch phase, where ideas flow freely.

When your idea is ready to go further, export your mix as a WAV file and bring it into your DAW, or send it to a collaborator as is. Skatch works as the first step in your creative process, or the only step if that's all you need.
