About Woodnote: Your House Band
Got a tune in your head? Hum it — four notes is enough — and a whole song grows around it. Drums, bass, piano, guitar and strings, arranged around your melody.
Or come in the other door: start from a blank canvas, place the chords yourself, and the layers arrive the same way. Two doors into the same room.
EVERY SONG HAS A REASON
Whatever yours is, it's worth finishing.
• The one you've been carrying — that tune from a drive years ago, heard with a band behind it for the first time.
• 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.
• A song for someone — a birthday, a wedding toast, an apology. Hum the melody you made up in the shower and send them a real song by evening.
HOW IT WORKS
• Hum or sing your idea — or place the chords yourself.
• You get a few directions. Pick the one closest to what you hear.
• The layers arrive, arranged around your melody.
• Then shape anything: swap a chord, change how a part plays, sing over it.
EVERYONE GETS A SONG. MUSICIANS GET THE WHOLE ARRANGEMENT.
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.
Hum and you're done in a minute, or dig in: build the exact chord you want down to the slash bass, give the drums a ballad kit or a funk groove, decide how big each section gets, and lay your own vocals or a real instrument onto a layer — kept as real audio, never synthesized.
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. Change a chord and the rest of the song stays exactly where it was. Trying something costs you nothing.
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.
SEND THE SONG, OR SEND THE SESSION
Every song gets its own artwork, drawn from the music itself. Share a link and it just plays — no app, no account, nothing to install. Or hand over the whole session and a friend can take it apart, rework a part, and pass it back. Like passing a guitar around.
YOURS
• No account, no sign-in.
• We take no rights in what you make.
• Nothing leaves your phone unless you share it.
• Saved songs reload and play with no connection, and you can record onto a layer anywhere.
• Export the finished mix as an audio file whenever you want.

Post a short video. Turn any song into a vertical video — a spinning record on a colored field, your chords cutting bar by bar, the house band credited underneath — and send it straight to Instagram Reels, YouTube, or anywhere else. Add a line of your own and it is baked in. Posting saves the video to your phone too.

A wonderfully creative and inspiring app! Woodnote makes songwriting feel approachable, intuitive, and genuinely fun.
