## About

Sonari is a hand-gesture instrument and MIDI controller for Mac. Play its built-in sounds and watch responsive visuals follow your music, or send hand gestures as MIDI to a compatible DAW. No external controller is needed to play Sonari’s built-in instrument.

Choose from 17 playing styles, including Theremin, Piano, Guitar, Strings, MPE and custom mappings. The camera-free Key Deck offers a keyboard-style way to play. Sonari also includes loop recording, editable performances, scales and rhythm cycles.

Sonari runs on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 26 or later. Try the complete app free for 14 days, then unlock it with a one-time purchase. Local App Store pricing varies.

Sonari Remote is an optional free iPhone companion for touch, motion, breath and facial expression. It connects to Sonari on your Mac and does not make sound on its own.
