# What Is Loopin? The Songwriting App for iOS, Explained

Updated June 2026 · by Loopin

**Loopin** is a **songwriting app for iOS** that keeps every part of a song — the beat, your lyrics, your takes and every version — together in one place, so the songs you start actually get finished.

If you make music on your phone, you already know the problem. The beat is in *Downloads*. The hook is a *voice memo*. The lyrics are in *Notes*. Three different demos are buried in three different folders. The Loopin app pulls all of it into one song, so nothing gets lost — and so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

## What the Loopin app does

- **Import a beat** and build the song around it.

- **Write lyrics over the beat** — type in time while the track loops.

- **Record takes** right inside the song, instead of scattering them across Voice Memos.

- **Keep every version** so you never lose the take you liked.

- **Auto key & BPM detection** so you know what you're working with.

- **Share a 15-second teaser** straight to your Instagram or WhatsApp story.

## Loopin's built-in player

Every song in Loopin opens in a clean **player** — beat, key, BPM and the stage it's at (Idea → In progress → Done). The Loopin player isn't just for listening back; it's where you write, record and compare versions without ever leaving the song. Think of it as a music player built for works in progress, not a finished library.

## Is Loopin for rap, beats and singer-songwriters?

Yes. Loopin is built for **bedroom rappers**, independent artists and singer-songwriters. Whether you're writing bars over a type beat, sketching a topline, or recording a quick demo, the **Loopin music app** keeps the beat and the words in the same place. If you came here searching *Loopin rap* or *Loopin beats*, this is exactly what it's for.

## Loopin also masters your tracks — free

When a song is done, you can polish it with [Loopin Mastering](/mastering), our free in-browser mastering tool. Upload an MP3 or WAV, pick a feel, and download a streaming-ready master at about −14 LUFS with a −1 dBTP true-peak ceiling — all processed on your device, nothing uploaded.

## Is Loopin free?

Loopin is **free to start on the App Store**, with an optional Loopin Pro upgrade. No account is needed to begin. [Download Loopin](/#download) and open the song you've been putting off.
