Every screen reads like a manuscript
Cream paper, engraved ink, coral flags where the detection got unsure — from the record button to your finished library.

A 90-second walkthrough — from the record button to a saved, editable score.
From first note to finished score
Notate handles the engraving so you can stay focused on the playing.
Live engraving
Hit record and play — notes stream onto a real five-line staff in real time, with pitch and rhythm detected note by note.
Confidence flags
When the detection isn't sure, the note renders in coral so you know exactly which passages to double-check.
Review & fix
Rename the piece, confirm flagged notes one tap at a time, and quantize loose timing before you save it for good.
Practice mode
Play your transcription back at tempo with a visual metronome — then see a 'where you drifted' callout on the staff.
Score library
Every saved performance becomes a manuscript card you can reopen, practice, and revisit any time.
Export PDF & MIDI
Send a clean engraved PDF to your stand or a MIDI file to your DAW — your playing leaves the app the way you need it.
The listening gets a lot smarter
Today Notate runs on a hand-built engraving engine. Next: deeper models that hear harmony, dynamics, and even your bandmates.
Polyphonic hearing
Transcribe chords and two-handed parts at once — full harmony, not just the top line.
PlannedStyle-aware notation
AI suggests phrasing, articulation, and dynamics that match how you actually played the passage.
PlannedAuto-arrangement
Turn a hummed or single-line idea into a fuller arrangement with suggested bass and inner voices.
PlannedEnsemble separation
Point it at a band recording and split each instrument onto its own staff in the score.
PlannedWatch the ink dry in public
