Your best ideas live in a mess of voice memos and scraps of paper

You hum something brilliant on the bus. Record a riff at 2am. Scribble a lyric on a receipt. Three weeks later, you can't find any of it - or worse, you've forgotten it entirely.

Voice Memos gives you a wall of untitled recordings. Notes gives you text with no audio. Neither of them helps you turn fragments into finished songs.
