Session management for working studios

The assistant engineer.

StudioHand is the calm second pair of hands during a session — sessions, takes, notes, and timing, kept exact while you run the room.

iPhone · iPad — $4.99 once, yours forever. Dark by design.

What it does

Everything a session needs.
Nothing it doesn\'t.

Built engineer-to-engineer. It assumes you know what a take sheet and a keeper are — and keeps them one tap away.

A clock you can bill from

A segment-accumulating session timer with work and break time kept separate. Checkpoints every minute — it survives a force-quit and offers recovery on relaunch.

🎙

Takes, rated & circled

Inline take logging with ratings, keepers, punches and comp lanes — double-tap to circle the one. "Keeper chorus on 3" gets written the moment it\'s said.

🎼

Cues, lyrics & charts

Cue lists with timecode, lyrics, chord charts, and arrangement sections — the song\'s whole paper trail, attached to the song.

🎚

Track sheets

Per-track input source, mic/DI, and processing notes — the manifest that answers "what did we use on the bridge?" six months later.

📷

Session notes & photos

Timestamped notes and photos on the session — settings, whiteboards, patch snapshots — attached where you\'ll actually find them again.

📄

PDF session reports

One tap turns the day into a clean, professional PDF — songs, takes, personnel, and time — ready to hand a client or file with the project.

🗂

Templates & tags

Session templates for the setups you run weekly; tags across sessions, songs, takes and cues so nothing gets lost in a long project.

🔍

Search, fast

Find any session, song, take, or cue in a keystroke. Local-first — search never leaves your device.

Backups that keep everything

A session, start to wrap

The workflow.

How a tracking day runs through StudioHand — five steps on the sample studio\'s "EMBERS" session.

01

Start at the Dashboard

Open the app and today is already in front of you: recent sessions, what\'s in motion, the one you\'re walking into. Tap it and you\'re working — nothing between you and record.

02

Your whole history, one log

The Sessions list is the studio\'s memory: every date, client, and status. Six months from now, "what did we use on that bridge?" is a scroll, not an archaeology dig.

03

Open the session

Each session holds its songs, notes, and photos. Tempo, key, and length live on the song — the details everyone asks for at 11pm, right where they should be.

04

Track takes as they happen

New take with one tap. Rate it, mark keepers, circle the one. This is the loop the whole app is built around.

05

The clock runs itself

Start the timer and forget it — it checkpoints every minute, survives a force-quit, and knows work time from break time. Wrap the day with a PDF session report from the same data.

Built for the room

One app, shaped
to who you are.

Pick a role and the home screen and song tabs reorder around how you actually work. Nothing is locked away — every feature stays available.

Studio Owner

Leads with the room\'s day — sessions in motion, the log, and the clock. The business of the room, front and center.

Engineer

Clients to sessions to daily tracking — capture, takes, and timing without leaving the take sheet.
