Stay in Tune With iOS Songwriting App Hum

Musicians can never truly predict when the creative juices will flow — so it's best to always be ready for the random lyrics, riffs or beats that might spring to mind.

Get ready to ditch the notepads and voice memos and make room for Hum, the iPhone app for songwriters that is promising to keep its users "in time, in tune and in sync" — if it gets funding.

Hum, which came to Kickstarter at the beginning of the week, saves and organizes your creations, sorting them by key, tuning and moodAaron Shekey, the designer behind Hum, notes that while many musicians record and save ideas with the iPhone's Voice Memos tool, songwriters often lose track of their ideas, with no way to properly log them. Similarly, per Shekey, lyrics exist predominantly on the iPhone's Notes tool.
