Got a tune in your head?
Hum it. A whole song grows around it.

Drums, bass, piano, guitar and strings arrive around your melody — arranged, not engineered. No theory, no gear, no studio.

It starts with your melody. What comes out is yours because it came from you.

Hum it You have the tune. Sing it, hum it, whistle it — four notes is enough.

Build it by hand You think in changes. Start empty and place the chords yourself.

Two doors into the same room.

Late August C MINOR · 92 BPM
You hum the melody…
You can hear it. You just can't get it out.
Not everyone who has music in them plays an instrument, and not everyone who plays has the hours. Voice memos pile up. Studio software is a wall. Woodnote sits in the middle — you bring the feeling, it brings the theory.
What it's for

Most songs aren't for an album.

Music gets made for all kinds of reasons, and almost none of them end in a release. Woodnote is for the reason you actually have.

01

The one you've been carrying

The tune that's been in your head since a drive years ago. Hum it and hear it with a band behind it for the first time.

02

A song you love, made yours

Take something you've always sung and play it your way — slower, sadder, in your key, with the chords you'd have chosen.

03

A song for someone

A birthday. A wedding toast. An apology. Hum the melody you already made up in the shower and send them a real song by evening.

Everyone gets a song. Musicians get the whole arrangement.

How it works

Three steps to a song.

From a tune in your head to something you'd actually play for someone.

01

Hum it

Tap once and hum the tune in your head. Four notes is enough — that's the shape it grows from.

02

Pick a feel

A few directions come back for the same tune. Tap the one closest to what you hear — you'll refine it later.

Which feels closest?
BRIGHTsunny, open, easy
WARMrounded, warm, generous
JAZZYbright, playful, colorful
03

The layers arrive

Drums, bass, piano, strings, guitar — each one arranged around your melody and the feel you picked. Then it's yours to shape.

Coming in the other door? Skip step one — place the chords yourself and the layers arrive the same way.

Reasons to believe

No queue. No dice. No drift.

Most tools hand your idea off somewhere and ask you to wait. Woodnote works the music out itself — key, harmony, voicing, groove — the way a session player would, and it comes back before you can look away.

No model wrote your song. Woodnote arranges what you play using music theory — the same rules a bandmate would use to find the chords under your melody.

Instant

Nothing to wait for.

Chords and layers arrive the moment you ask for them. Nothing queued, nothing metered, and no reason to be careful about trying an idea.

Try anything

Nothing you liked disappears.

Change a chord and the rest of the song stays exactly where it was. Trying something costs you nothing.

Yours to keep

The song lives on your phone.

Saved songs reload and play with no connection, and you can record vocals or a real instrument onto a layer anywhere — on a plane, in a garden. Building a new arrangement needs a connection.

Make it yours

As simple or as deep as you want.

Everyone gets a song. Musicians get the whole arrangement. Hum and you're done in a minute — or dig in and swap a chord, shape how a part plays, sing over it.

Woodnote thinks the way songwriters do: in chords, bars and sections — not tracks and knobs. That's the part you already have words for, whether you've played for twenty years or never played at all.

Swap any chord

Tap a bar and try a suggestion, or build the exact chord you want — right down to the slash bass.

Shape how a part plays

Give the drums a ballad kit or a funk groove — then decide how big each part of the song gets, from silent to bold.

Sing over it

Lay your own vocals or instrument straight onto a layer — kept as real audio, never synthesized.

Keep it or send it

Export the finished mix as an audio file, send a link that plays anywhere, or hand the whole session to a friend.

What it makes

A whole song, in one evening.

Start after dinner, play it to someone before bed — a real song in your own voice, with your chords and your instruments in it.

The first version of a song has something in it that later versions spend months chasing. Woodnote is built to catch that one. If a song grows past what it can do, the mix exports and the door's open.

Share

Send the song. Or send the session.

Every song gets its own artwork, drawn from the music itself — the melody, the chords, the layers you used. No two look alike.

Collaborate

Like passing a guitar around.

Your friend is three time zones away, and you can still make something together. Send them the session, they pick it up where you left off, and it comes back with something of theirs in it. Take turns, in your own time — the way a song actually gets finished.

They get the parts, not a bounce.

Chords, layers, sections — all still editable. They rework a part and pass it back whenever they get to it.
