How can we help?

Yes. StudioHand is local-first: your sessions, songs, takes, photos and notes are stored on your device. There is no account, no sign-up, and we don't collect your data. The app contains no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting SDK. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Yes. Core logging, editing, recording and export all work offline. Opening website links or sending support email requires an internet connection.

Not automatically in this version — there is no cloud sync and no account. To move your work between devices, use Settings → Export & Backup. Review the scope of the backup option you choose, and copy any externally referenced media separately.

Open Settings → Export & Backup for backup and import options, PDF reports and CSV exports. A JSON backup carries up to 256 MB of linked media; imports accept files up to 512 MB. DAW project folders are not included.

Settings → Library Safety → Full Store Checkpoints copies stored records and embedded attachments, but not audio files stored elsewhere.

Reports are not full backups. Verify your backup and include external media before removing the original library. Deleting the app removes its local data, so back up first if you're reinstalling.

A paid download at a limited-time launch price of US $2.99. That's the whole price — every feature in the app is included, and there is no subscription, no account and no in-app purchase. One universal purchase covers both iPhone and iPad.

No. StudioHand is an App Store purchase tied to your Apple Account. On a new device, download it again while signed in with the Apple Account you bought it with and you won't be charged twice. Your library, however, does not travel with the purchase — move it with Export & Backup.

Only for the related feature, and only when you use it.

• Camera attaches reference images to sessions and songs.
• Microphone records short voice notes on takes, and powers the Live Bar tuner, which analyses pitch on your device.
• Photos — existing images are selected with the system photo picker, which hands the app only the items you pick, without granting access to your whole library.
• Notifications are optional local reminders you enable in Settings. If you previously denied them, Open Notification Settings in the app takes you where you can change it.

Content is processed on your device unless you choose to share it. You can grant or revoke any of these in Settings → Privacy & Security on your device.

The timer accumulates work and break time separately and saves recovery checkpoints as it runs, so an interrupted session can be recovered rather than lost. Review the recovered time before you use it for billing — recovery reconstructs from the last checkpoint, not from a perfect record of the room.

Not in this version. StudioHand runs alongside your DAW as the session log, so nothing about your recording setup has to change.
