Nada is the easiest way to turn your voice into music. Hum, sing, or whistle an idea, and instantly convert it into MIDI. Arrange your melodies on mobile, choose from a variety of instruments, and build songs wherever inspiration strikes. No AI generation involved, just your own creativity, captured faster.

Last November, my friends and I started thinking about how we could make it easier for musicians to create music anywhere, anytime.
At the time, we watched the making of video for Stromae’s “Alors on danse.” It was funny, but also inspiring. It made us wonder: what if people could create music using only their voice?
A lot of people have great musical ideas, but they cannot always play an instrument. Traditional DAWs can also feel too complex, especially when all you want to do is capture an idea quickly. But almost everyone can hum, sing, or whistle a melody.
That was the moment everything clicked.
We decided to build Nada, which means “tune” in Indonesian. At first, we imagined it as a better voice notes app for musicians, something simple for capturing musical ideas. But as we kept building, it slowly became a mini DAW: voice-to-MIDI, instruments, arrangement, beats, and music production features, all designed to stay simple and not overwhelming.
Today, we’re excited and proud to finally share Nada on Product Hunt.
We built Nada for musicians, creators, and anyone who has ever had a melody in their head but struggled to turn it into music.
We’d love to hear your feedback, ideas, and thoughts. And if you’re a musician, creator, investor, partner, or someone who believes music creation should be more accessible, we’d love to connect.

Thank you for checking out Nada!
@bregas Awesome job with the launch! The "no AI generation, just capture" philosophy is refreshing in a launch cycle full of generative-everything tools. How does the pitch quantization tell the difference between a singer hitting an intentional blue note or microtonal slide versus an actual pitch error it should correct?
Nada
@xichiwoo It mostly comes down to how steady and confident you are. Nada listens to your voice about 40+ times a second and scores how cleanly each moment is holding a pitch. An intentional blue note or slide is sung with commitment, held clearly and steadily, so Nada reads it as deliberate and leaves it exactly where you put it. It only nudges a note when you're just barely off one, close enough that it's almost certainly an honest slip rather than a choice. On top of that there's a stickiness: once you land on a note it holds there instead of flip-flopping, so a quick wobble gets smoothed over while a committed move to a new note comes through. So it's not judging "right vs wrong" pitch, it's reading intention from how steady and committed you are, and when in doubt it keeps your voice rather than overriding it.
Thanks for the support!
The "no AI generation" framing is actually the right call here - the value is capturing your musical idea, not generating a new one. Musicians who can hear melodies but can't play piano have been stuck with voice memos + manual transcription forever. Cutting that to hum-to-MIDI directly removes 3-4 steps from a genuinely painful workflow.
Curious how it handles rhythm accuracy - is the MIDI timing quantized automatically or does it preserve your exact phrasing? That's usually where voice-to-MIDI tools live or die for people who care about their groove.

@galdayan So for accuracy, the first you can do in Nada is to choose your scale or disable note that you don't want to hit. This way you will always sing in scale, work kinda like autotune.
During recording it preserve exact timing and phrasing from user voice, if there's a mistake, you can always fix it in our midi editor and we provide automatic cleaning option in the editor that fix common vocal mistake when using Nada. We also have many quantization option in the editor.

For the best experience with Nada, we highly recommend using wired earphones with a built-in microphone, such as Apple USB-C EarPods or any similar wired headset.
Wired earphones help produce better-quality results because they reduce latency and prevent speaker audio from interfering with pitch detection. Wireless earphones may introduce noticeable latency, while using Nada through speakers can reduce pitch detection accuracy.
For the most accurate voice-to-MIDI result, wired earphones are highly recommended.

Nada Coder here. I really enjoyed building this product and felt excited throughout the entire development process. From the very beginning, during the ideation phase, our goal was to create a product that is not only enjoyable for us to build as developers, but also enjoyable and valuable for users to use in their daily experience. We continuously focused on understanding user needs, collecting feedback, and improving the product based on the experiences and insights we received along the way.
Throughout this journey, I learned a lot because this product was something completely new to me and pushed me to explore many areas that I had never worked on before. During the development process, I encountered various technical challenges, unexpected issues, and many moments where I needed to learn quickly in order to solve problems effectively. Those experiences helped me improve not only my technical skills, but also the way I think about problem solving, product development, and collaboration within a team.
What made this experience especially valuable for me was seeing how an idea can slowly evolve into a real product through continuous iteration and learning. Building this product taught me that creating good software is not only about writing code, but also about understanding users, adapting to feedback, making improvements consistently, and being willing to learn from mistakes. Overall, this journey gave me a lot of new knowledge and became an experience that helped me grow significantly as a developer.

Hi everyone! I’m Tika, part of the design team behind Nada. 👋
From the very beginning, we knew we wanted to create something that lived at the intersection of creativity and productivity. Since we all share a love for music, it naturally became the heart of what we wanted to build together.
Designing this app has been both incredibly fun and challenging, and I feel privileged to have been part of it since day one. I’ve watched Nada grow from messy whiteboard sketches into an intricate app that continues to evolve with innovative features we never even imagined at the start. It has become a product we’re all genuinely passionate about.
What makes this journey especially meaningful isn’t just the product itself, but the team behind it. I’m deeply grateful to be part of this amazing group of people and excited for what lies ahead for Nada. We believe there’s still so much to explore in refining the creative process for musicians, and perhaps even embracing AI to unlock new ways of creating, capturing, and shaping musical ideas.
This launch feels less like the finish line and more like the first note of a much longer song. 🎵🚀

Hi product hunt! 👋
I’m one of the designers behind Nada. It’s been really fun watching this app grow from early designs into something people can actually use.
I’ve mostly been involved in making the product and visuals feel easier to understand and more enjoyable to use. Seeing people turn a simple hum into something they can build on has been one of the coolest parts of working on this project.
Excited to finally share it here, and I’d genuinely love to hear what you think. Thanks for checking out Nada! 🫶
