円相 · Ensō — the one-stroke circle
One take. One moment. One expression.
The Ensō is drawn in a single breath. It cannot be corrected, retouched or drawn again — which is exactly what makes it worth keeping.
TakeOne is built the same way. Every performance carries its own emotion, its own imperfection, its own truth.
The goal was never perfection. The goal is capturing something real.
Ichi-go ichi-e — one time, one meeting
The journey
From a room with a song in it, to a finished master.
Five steps. No desktop. No plug-ins. No internet connection required.
CAPTURE
Press record. Stay in the moment.

What's inside
Built like an instrument, not a feature list.
On-device AI
Your performance stays on your iPhone. TakeOne uses on-device AI to turn a single recording into something you can actually work with.
Stem separation
Vocals on one fader, instruments on the other, from a single phone recording. Balance them, mute one, export both.
Studio-quality audio
Studio-quality processing from capture to export. Shape the balance, polish the vocal and export a finished mix without leaving the app.
Captions
Speech recognition writes the words, you fix the one it got wrong, and the video is ready for a feed that plays muted.
Offline processing
A tour bus, a basement, a plane at 38,000 feet. TakeOne is designed to keep your creative workflow moving without a connection.
Made for iPhone
Designed around the iPhone from the beginning — its camera, microphone, screen and the way musicians actually use it.
Who it's for
Anyone with a take worth keeping.
Musicians
Catch the idea at the moment it arrives, with the arrangement already separated for tomorrow.
Singers
A vocal video that sounds mixed, not filmed — from one take in your own room.
Creators
Performance, captions and a clean master, finished before the moment stops being interesting.
Teachers
Isolate the voice from the accompaniment and show a student exactly what happened in bar nine.

Demos and reference stems captured on the spot, ready to hand to the session in the morning.

Questions
Everything worth asking first.
TakeOne is an iPhone app for recording a performance on video, splitting it into vocal and instrumental stems with on-device AI, mixing it with studio effects, adding captions and exporting a finished video or master. It replaces the trip from your phone to a laptop and back.
TakeOne uses on-device AI to separate the vocal performance from the accompanying sound in your recording. The processing happens directly on the iPhone rather than sending the recording to a cloud service.
Recording, separation, mixing, captions and export are designed to happen on your device. Your recordings are not uploaded to TakeOne's servers for processing.
Yes. Recording, separation, mixing, captions and export are designed to work without a connection. Airplane mode does not stop you from finishing a track.
TakeOne is built for compatible iPhones running iOS 26. Processing time varies with the length of the recording and the iPhone model.
Yes — vocals and instruments as separate WAV stems, alongside the mixdown and the video. They drop straight into Logic, Ableton, Pro Tools or whatever you open next.
That's what it was built for. Export studio-quality WAV stems and mixdowns, finish the video with captions, and take the result into your next session or straight to a release.
You can record, separate and mix without paying. Pricing for the professional export formats is being finalised ahead of launch — reach out below and you'll hear it from us first.
