What is Jam Pad?

Jam Pad is a versatile app for managing recordings and musical ideas.

It is designed to be a practical tool for everyone who deals with audio recordings, such as musicians, composers, sound artists, music teachers, podcasters, bands, classical ensembles and music studios.

Core concepts

Jam Pad is built around just a few core concepts:

Clips

Clips are audio recordings — improvisations, jam sessions, work-in-progress song versions (raw, mixed, or mastered), finished tracks, podcast episodes, field recordings, one-shot samples… anything!

Markers

Markers are positions within potentially very long clips. Use them to quickly jump to notable passages — musical ideas, sections that need work, specific scenes, or anything else you want to revisit.

Playlists

Playlists let you arrange clips and markers in any order, creating your own sequence for review or playback.

Sheets

Sheets are simple text documents but with a twist: You can embed instantly playable clips or markers.

To keep everything neatly organized, Jam Pad uses the concept of spaces. A space is a self-contained collection of all the items described above.

There are three types of spaces:

Single-device spaces

Fully offline spaces that exist only on one specific mobile device or computer.

Multi-device spaces

Spaces that sync directly between your phones and computers without using the cloud.

Cloud spaces

Spaces that sync through the cloud and support collaboration features.

Supported platforms

Jam Pad runs natively on the following platforms:

  • Android phones and tablets

  • iOS phones and tablets

  • macOS computers

  • Windows computers

Support for the following platforms is planned:

  • Linux computers

  • Browsers (probably with a very restricted feature set)
