Cratekey — key and BPM analysis for local audio files

First: what this app does not claim to be

Frequently asked

Where do I start?

On a fresh install the crate is empty. Tap Try the sample to analyze a short bundled track and see what the app produces, or tap + and pick your own files from the Files app.

Why is my drum & bass track showing half the BPM?

Tempo detection often settles on the slower reading for fast material — 174 comes back as 87. Tap ×2 on that track. The value you set is kept and will not be overwritten by a later analysis.

The key looks wrong — it says C where I hear A minor.

Major and minor are relative keys and analyzers swap them fairly often. Use Flip to relative. The harmonic matches are worked out again from your corrected key.

A track says "No key". Is that a failure?

No. Drum loops, percussion and some acapellas have no key to detect, and the analysis returning nothing is the correct answer. Cratekey will not suggest harmonic matches for that track.

A track says it can't be analyzed.

Two common reasons. If it is DRM-protected, it cannot be analyzed at all. If the file cannot be opened, it may have been deleted, or it may live on external storage or iCloud that is not reachable right now — reconnect the drive and analyze that track again by hand.

Can I export to rekordbox?

Not directly. Cratekey exports a CSV of the crate and a beatgrid file containing the anchor position, BPM, meter and beat-in-bar for each segment. Those are the values a beatgrid is made of, in a form you can process yourself.

I bought Pro and it is not showing.

Open Cratekey Pro from the toolbar and tap Restore purchase. If it still does not appear, e-mail us with the Apple ID region you purchased from.

Does it use the internet?

Only for the purchase and restore, which Apple handles. Analysis is entirely on the device.
