Press Cmd-R while anything plays on your Mac (a YouTube video, Apple Music, a preset demo, a session) and DOT records it, trims it at both ends and files the clip in a library.

  • Key, tempo and chords for every musical clip, with a chord for every half bar
  • Nothing to route: DOT records the Mac's own sound through the audio capture built into macOS, so there is no BlackHole, Loopback or virtual driver to set up
  • Record every app, or just one
  • Search the library by title, key or tempo
  • Drag clips into any DAW or app that takes audio, and export the chords as MIDI

$49 once, for up to 3 of your own Macs, with free updates and a 30-day refund. Free to try: the first 10 recordings and 3 chord MIDI exports. macOS 14.4 or later, Apple silicon or Intel.
