Download Brasscribe Play

Brasscribe Play is in early testing: it is not in any app store, and your device will warn you the first time, so each device below shows how to get past it. You also need Bandroom, for a computer on the same Wi-Fi: it writes the scores.

Android

Needs Android 16 or newer. Allow installs from your browser or file manager, then open the APK. It updates an earlier version in place, and what you have made stays. Most phones and tablets take the first file.

iPhone and iPad

Needs iOS or iPadOS 26 or newer. Not in the App Store yet. This is a test build without a signature, which you sign with your own Apple Account before it installs: how to sign and install it.

Mac

Needs macOS 26 or newer and Apple silicon. Not notarised yet: unzip, move the app to Applications and open it once, then choose Open Anyway under System Settings › Privacy & Security.

Windows

For Windows 11 (x64). Not signed yet: unzip the folder anywhere and start the .exe inside. If Windows SmartScreen stops it, choose More info, then Run anyway.

Bandroom, for your computer

Bandroom runs on your own Mac or PC and writes down the notes for the app on your phone, over your own network. One Bandroom serves every Scribe app. How to set it up.

For the tech person

The command-line tool behind the apps, and the checksums of every file in the release.

Everything is also on the latest release on GitHub. The guide has the steps in full.
