Pick one from your library or take it on the spot. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing needs a connection.

A photograph,
A photograph,
pressed into sound.
Pick a photo. Chromacord measures its light, its colour and its detail, and those measurements decide the key, the tempo, the chords and the texture. Seconds later you are listening to the record it holds — and the same photograph always presses the same song.

How it works
Three steps, no cloud in any of them.
The engine is deterministic and runs on the device. Press the same photo again tomorrow, on another iPhone, in a year — the same record comes back.
The photo is measured
Light, colour and edge density are read off the image and turned into a signature that belongs to that photograph.
The record is cut
Key, tempo, chords and texture follow the signature. Out comes a four-bar loop that closes cleanly, plus a vertical video.
Inside
Made to be listened to, kept and shared.
A loop that closes cleanly
Soft keys, a bass, brushed drums and a tape-worn bed. Four bars free, eight with Pro.
The photo is never cropped
The card is cut to fit the picture, because the sound was made from the whole picture.
Vertical video for stories
Your photograph mounted on a printed card, waveform along the chin, signature underneath. Share straight to Instagram.
Use it as a ringtone
Export a pressing and let a photograph of your own answer the phone.
A crate you can flick through
Star the ones worth keeping. Scratch the record with a finger while it plays and hear it drag.
Tuned by hand, if you want
Tempo, loop length, mix desk and card colour are yours to move with Pro.
Nothing leaves your phone
No AI. No cloud. No account.
Your photograph is read on the device and never uploaded, never sent, never seen by anyone. There is no server of ours to hold it, because there is no server of ours. Chromacord works on a plane, in a tunnel, forever.
