02 / The moment

A song rarely waits for the writing room.

A phrase turns up on the train. A melody appears on a walk. A chord change works while the Mac is somewhere else.

Capture gives that unfinished thought a quiet place to land. Save the useful part now, then decide what it belongs to when there is time.

03 / The workflow

Enough structure to keep the idea useful.

Capture stays quick at the start and specific at the handoff. Context is available, never compulsory.

01

TEXT · VOICE · MULTIPLE TAKES

Capture first. Decide later.

Save the line as text or record the sound of it. Keep capturing while the idea is moving, with more than one voice take when a single pass is not enough.

02

TITLE · TAGS · SONG SEEDS

Add only the context that helps.

Give an idea a title, tags, role, section, mood, key, tempo or chords when they are useful. Related fragments can sit together in a lightweight Song Seed, still in the order you caught them.

REVIEW · PREPARE · SHARE

Know what is leaving the phone.

Before a handoff, Capture shows what is included, what stays in Capture and anything that still needs your choice. The original remains on your iPhone while iOS handles the destination.

Your pocket notebook should feel like yours.

07 / Common questions

The practical details, clearly answered.

Availability, price, local storage and the relationship between Capture and Studio.

What is Kordra Capture?

Kordra Capture is a native iPhone app for saving a lyric, chord, note or voice idea while it is still fresh. It is the pocket companion to Kordra Studio, but it also works as a focused capture app on its own.

When will Kordra Capture be available?

Kordra Capture is coming soon to the App Store. There is no public release date yet. Subscribe to company updates and we will share availability news when it is ready.

How much will Kordra Capture cost?

Kordra Capture will be free to download. The core app has no account, subscription or in-app purchase.

Does Capture work offline?

Yes. Text, voice ideas, songwriting context and Song Seeds are stored locally on your iPhone and remain available offline.

What can I add to an idea?

Context is optional. Add a title, tags, type, section, mood, key, tempo or chords when those details help. You can also add more than one voice take to the same capture.

What is a Song Seed?

A Song Seed is a lightweight, ordered group of related captures. It keeps a small run of lyrics, notes and recordings together without asking you to turn them into a full song project.

Do I need Kordra Studio?

No. You can keep, search and export your captures without Studio. When an idea is ready for a writing room, Kordra Studio is the Mac app designed to develop it further.

How does a Capture leave the iPhone?

You choose when to export or share. Capture prepares the selected text and audio, keeps the original on your iPhone, and hands the files to iOS for a destination such as Files, AirDrop or another app you select.
