SampleShot
Sample anything
you hear.
SampleShot captures whatever your iPhone or Mac is playing — lossless AIFF, one tap, no time limit. Then chop it, sequence it, and build with it.
Launching soon on the App Store — iPhone & Mac · Your audio never leaves your devices
Straight from the app — the meters move when your device makes sound.
A real sampler. Pads, patterns, sections.
Load any sixteen sounds from your library onto pads, paint patterns into the step sequencer, and build a song from Intro to Hook — with swing, tempo, and pitch that never touch your originals. Warp any chop onto the grid with transient markers, and set a session key that offers to pull every new sample in tune — down to retuning a melody note by note.
Arrange like a DAW.
Patterns become clips on a multitrack timeline — drag them anywhere, name your sections, loop the hook, automate levels per bar, and drop one-shot sounds on audio lanes. Then export the whole thing to your DAW.
FX that show their work.
Every pad and slice gets its own chain — EQ, compressor, delay, reverb, flanger, chorus, tremolo, auto-pan — with a live spectrum analyzer that lights up as you audition. Tweak, tap, hear it.
Split anything into stems.
Drums, bass, vocals, and everything else — separated on your device, never uploaded. Then mix them live: mute, solo, and shape the blend with a master EQ and real-time analyzer before you chop.
See your sound.
Every recording gets a full spectrogram view — watch the frequency content of a capture before you decide where to chop it.
Find sounds that sound alike.
Pick any sample and rank your entire collection by how close it sounds — with a match score on every result. It even surfaces exact duplicates at 100%. On the Mac it ranks whole drives; on iPhone it searches your chop library, and can build a kit around any sound — matched by key, tempo, and character.
Your whole collection, finally organized.
Real waveforms, clean names, key and BPM on every row — search and filter thousands of samples and drag any of them straight into your DAW.
MAC-ONLY FEATURE
An AI librarian for your drives.
Plug in a sample drive and one click analyzes everything on it — BPM, key, loudness, loop vs one-shot — then names, categorizes, and tags every file with AI. Originals are never moved or renamed, and the catalog travels on the drive itself.
MAC-ONLY FEATURE
The same power, in your pocket.
Hear something in a video, a stream, a voice note? Tap once and it's yours — lossless, with no time limit, recording in the background while you keep watching. Chop it on the spot or let it sync to your Mac through your own iCloud Drive.
One-tap capture
Grab any sound the moment you hear it — from any app, in the background.
Lossless, always
24-bit AIFF at 48 kHz. No compression, no watermarks, no time limits.
Chop & sequence
Slice recordings into playable pads and build patterns in seconds.
AI librarian
Every sample named, tagged, and categorized — automatically.
Sound similarity
Rank your library by how close it sounds — or build a whole kit around one sample.
Beat-sync warp
Lock any chop to your tempo — transients snap to the grid, attacks stay crisp.
In key, always
Set a session key and every out-of-key sample offers the smallest shift into tune.
Clean up, safely
A wizard finds duplicates, silent slices, and deadwood — nothing deleted without you.
Stems on-device
Separate drums, bass, music, and vocals without your audio going anywhere.
Drag to your DAW
Every sample, chop, and stem drags straight into Ableton, Logic, or FL.
Private sync
Devices merge through your own iCloud Drive. Nothing is deleted by sync.
Yours, period
No accounts, no tracking. Your recordings and library stay on your devices.
Simple pricing.
