# Magnio ## Where magnetism meets melody. Hold it sideways like a game controller. Touch wakes the note; tilt, push and flick give it direction. ### A responsive instrument Choose a voice, tune the bend and gain response, then calibrate the center to your own grip. ### Catch the Vibe Tap Vibe and Magnio listens to nearby music, finds its scale, and tunes itself to join in. The analysis stays on your device. ### Build a pulse Add bass, arpeggio, and percussion layers. Hold any layer button to open its own pattern page and shape the groove without leaving the instrument. ### Set your stage Arrange the edge controls the way you play, pick your instrument, and ride the sweep gesture through a modulation such as wah — expression keeps shaping the level underneath. ### Record what you play One tap records Magnio itself — its own sound, never the microphone or the room. Recordings are listed in the app; rename, play, share, or delete them. ### Play here or connect Use Magnio's own sound, or send your performance through Local MIDI, USB MIDI, or BLE MIDI when your setup calls for it. ## Playing guide Magnio is played sideways. Cradle the phone with both hands, screen upright and facing you: the thumb of the hand you write with rests on the screen and plays, the other thumb owns the edge controls. Choose the other hand and the whole instrument turns with you — you simply flip the phone half a turn. ### Wake your note Touch the screen with your playing thumb and linger a moment. Sound is born from nothing — hold it, and it breathes. ### Space is your keyboard Keep the note singing and tilt the phone up and down. Tilting up brightens the notes, tilting down lowers them; when the horizon sits level, you're home. ### Push to intensify While your note sings, push the phone left or right around its center. The sound swells and brightens; come back, and it falls to a whisper. ### Bend like a guitar string Keep your thumb down and flick it quickly left or right — the note touches its neighbour and springs back. ### A responsive instrument Choose a voice, tune the bend and gain response, then calibrate the center to your own grip. ### Catch the Vibe Tap Vibe and Magnio listens to nearby music, finds its scale, and tunes itself to join in.

Use Apple's route button to select the iPhone speaker, headphones, or another audio route, then check the system volume. ### The motion feels unfamiliar Hold the phone sideways in your natural playing position — both hands, screen upright and facing you — then open Calibrate and set that position as the center. The guided grip lesson in the same menu walks through touch, tilt, push and flick one gesture at a time. ### The screen turned upside down when I switched hands That is intentional. Magnio locks the screen to the grip of the hand you chose, so switching hands means physically turning the phone half a turn in landscape. Once the words read straight, your grip is set — and the keyboard, share sheet and system prompts arrive facing you too. The hand is chosen in Calibrate > Grip lesson . ### Where do my recordings go? The round button at the end of the top row records what Magnio itself plays — never the microphone, never the room. Recordings are named by date and kept in Magnio's own folder; press and hold the same button to open the list and play, rename, share or delete them. On iOS they are also visible under Files > On My iPhone > Magnio . While a recording is running the button only stops it. ### Vibe cannot listen Open iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone and allow Magnio. Microphone access is used only when you tap Vibe . ### Use Local MIDI on the same iPhone Open the receiving music app and select Magnio as its MIDI input. Return to Magnio, open Out , and choose Local . The receiving app stays in the background while Magnio remains in front for playing. ### Connect USB MIDI to a Mac Connect the iPhone by cable. On the Mac, open Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup, select the iPhone, and enable it. Then choose USB in Magnio. ### Connect with BLE MIDI Choose BLE under Out and follow Magnio's on-screen Mac or iPad guide. Mac: open Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup, show MIDI Studio, open Bluetooth Configuration, and connect to Magnio. iPad: open the receiving music app's BLE MIDI settings and connect to Magnio there. ### Is Magnio really free?

It has no account system, advertising, analytics SDK, or developer-operated server. Effective date: September 6, 2026 ### Scope and provider Magnio is provided by Beyondend Dev. This policy explains how the Magnio iPhone app and its public support pages handle information. ### Data collection Magnio does not collect, sell, share, or use personal data for tracking. The app requires no account and does not send your performance, settings, sensor readings, or musical activity to Beyondend Dev. ### Motion data Magnio reads the iPhone's motion sensors to turn movement into notes, pitch bend, gain, and expression. Motion samples are processed live on the device. They are not stored or transmitted to the developer. ### Microphone Microphone access is requested only when you choose Vibe. A short audio buffer is analyzed on the device to estimate a musical scale. Magnio does not save, upload, or share that audio. ### Bluetooth and MIDI Bluetooth is used only when you choose BLE MIDI. Musical MIDI messages can be sent to an app or device you select through Local, USB, or BLE MIDI. These messages are not sent to Magnio or the developer. ### Settings stored on your device Your hand preference, calibration, musical settings, and patterns are stored locally on the device. Magnio does not synchronize them to a developer account or server. Removing the app may remove local settings. ### Purchases Magnio is free and contains no in-app purchases or subscriptions. The app embeds no payment or store framework, so no payment or transaction data can reach Magnio or the developer. ### Diagnostics Magnio does not include a third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDK. Apple may process App Store and device diagnostic information under Apple's policies and your device settings. ### Website and support email These Magnio pages do not set cookies and do not include analytics, advertising, or contact forms.
