The record

What it does: Identifies a song from humming, singing, or whistling without requiring the song to be playing or its lyrics to be known.
Matching results: The TestFlight listing says it returns a ranked shortlist of likely songs with previews, which the user can tap to confirm.
How to use: The maker says to tap the orb and sing, hum, or whistle; a clear 5–10 second hum is usually enough.
Music services: Matched songs can be opened in Apple Music or Spotify.
Apple Watch: The maker says the Apple Watch app can identify songs from the wrist without reaching for the phone.
Account requirement: An account is required to use the TestFlight beta.
Audio and history: Short hum recordings are sent to Earworm’s servers and stored with the account alongside search history and match feedback until the account is deleted.
Matching providers: The privacy policy names ACRCloud for melody matching, Google Gemini for transcribing sung words, Genius for lyric search, Apple Music for catalogue and previews, and Firebase for authentication and storage.
Data use: Earworm says it does not sell personal data or use it for third-party advertising or cross-app tracking; using recordings to improve matching is optional and can be withdrawn in Settings.
Deletion: The policy says users can delete their account in Settings, permanently removing their account, recordings, and history from Earworm’s servers.
Beta status: The maker says Earworm is currently in TestFlight beta and is not yet on the App Store.
