About
Muso Minder is a professional iPadOS application designed for singers, musicians, and songwriters to manage lyrics, sheet music, and performance setlists in a fully digital environment.
The app focuses on stage reliability, replacing traditional paper workflows with a high-performance and distraction-free solution for live performances. As the Senior iOS/iPadOS Developer on the project, I was responsible for leading the application architecture, developing core features, and optimising performance to ensure smooth and dependable use during rehearsals and live shows.

Our approach
Problem Statement
Musicians traditionally rely on printed sheets or fragmented digital tools that are not optimised for live performance conditions. On stage, speed, clarity, and reliability are critical—any lag, crash, or complex interaction can disrupt performance. A dedicated iPad-first solution was needed to centralize music materials, support annotations, and enable smooth navigation under real performance constraints.
Solution Architecture
I designed a modular iPadOS architecture built with Swift, separating document management, rendering, annotation, and performance workflows into scalable components. The system leverages native PDF rendering engines and PencilKit for low-latency annotation, ensuring real-time responsiveness. Performance-sensitive components were optimised for memory efficiency and fast load times, delivering stability during extended rehearsal and live sessions.
