Creating Projects
A project in NoteHound contains everything related to a single audio file: the file itself, your transcription, sections, loops, BPM, audio notes, and settings. Projects keep all of that together so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

Creating a Project
Tap the + button in the top-right of the project list. A file picker appears where you can select any supported audio file from your device. NoteHound creates a new project automatically, names it after the file, and opens it for playback.
Free users are limited to 2 projects; tapping + when at the limit opens the Pro Unlock sheet.
See Importing Audio for supported formats and how to bring files in.
The Project List
The main screen shows all your projects. From here you can:
- Search by project name using the search bar at the top. The search is case-insensitive.
- Sort by tapping the sort/filter icon (arrows up/down) in the top-right to choose Recent (newest first, default) or Name (alphabetical). You can also toggle Show Archived in the sort menu to reveal archived projects.
- See projects organized in Pinned and Unpinned sections
Context Menu Actions
Long-press a project row to open the context menu. The available actions are:
- Pin / Unpin — pin the project to the top of the list, or unpin it
- Duplicate — create a full copy of the project (see Duplicating Projects)
- Archive / Unarchive — move the project to the archived section, or restore it (see Archiving Projects)
Pinning Projects
Pin your most-used projects to keep them at the top of the list:
- Long-press a project row to open the context menu
- Tap Pin
Pinned projects appear in their own section above unpinned ones. To unpin, long-press and tap Unpin.
Project Limits
| Plan | Projects |
|---|---|
| Free | 2 |
| Pro | Unlimited |
On the Free plan, you’ll be prompted to upgrade or remove an existing project when you try to add a third.
Pro tip: Upgrade to Pro for unlimited projects — especially useful if you’re working on multiple songs at once or building up a transcription library over time.
