Bring the band in.
Your library syncs through iCloud. Invite a bandmate, your choir, your mom, and they can listen and add songs from their own Apple Account. Songs download when you play them, so a big library won’t fill up your phone.
A music player for songs you made yourself.
Covers, demos, voice memos, live takes, the rough mix a friend sent you last week. Bring them in and they get what a real music app gives a record: artwork, albums, artists, playlists and lyrics.
Free for iPhone and iPad.
No account, no ads, no tracking.
Lyrics that keep up
Tap a line and go back there,
every word comes in on time,
sing it loud and sing it twice,
this one’s mine.
Lyrics light up word by word as the song plays. Tap any line to jump to it.
Look them up
Kate can find the lyrics for you.
Paste them in
From your notes, a text, wherever you wrote them down.
Open a file
Bring in an .lrc or .txt file.
Sync them
Tap along as it plays, or let Listen & Align time every word on your iPhone.
The Record Booth
Sing with the words in front of you.
Record over silence, over your own instrumental, or along with the original song from Apple Music. Only your voice is saved, and the take goes into your library with its lyrics already synced.
Singing along with the original needs an Apple Music subscription. The other two don’t.
The Studio
Fix a take without losing the original.
Kate always keeps it.
- Cut, trim, fade, silence and adjust volume on a zoomable timeline
- Finds clicks, pops, knocks, coughs and breaths, and repairs them in one tap
- Noise reduction, de-esser, EQ, compressor, limiter, echo, reverb, key and speed
- Undo, redo, and a Before/After switch
Ask the Studio
Type “cut 0:00 to 0:04” or “warmer with less hiss” and it makes the edit. It all runs on your device.
Your library
Your songs, given the full record treatment.
Artwork, albums, artists, playlists and lyrics, for every demo and voice memo you bring in.

Names for the nameless.

Live Lyrics
On the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
Siri
“Play Moon River in Kate.”
Add from anywhere
Voice Memos, Files or any share sheet.
Gapless playback
And Sound Check, so one quiet demo doesn’t catch you out.
Feel the Music
Optional haptics that follow the beat.
Select several at once
Songs, albums or artists.
iPhone and iPad
Kate works on both.
No account, no ads, no tracking.
Kate has no server of its own. Your songs live on your device and in your iCloud. You don’t sign up for anything and there’s nothing to subscribe to. This site doesn’t track you either.
Read the privacy policyI make Kate on my own.
If something breaks or you want something added, tap Report a Problem in Settings, or write to me atjoshua@ironcoffee.com. And if Kate earns a spot on your phone, there’s a tip jar in Settings. Every feature is free either way.
