Moises Earns Dual Honors: Named Apple's iPad App of the Year and Design Awards Finalist
Recognized by Apple for its musician-first design, Moises now serves 60 million users in 190 countries and processes daily audio equivalent of nearly five years of continuous music SALT LAKE CITY, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Moises, the AI-powered music platform, was today named an Apple Design Award finalist in the Innovation category. The honor comes six months after Apple named Moises the 2024 iPad App of the Year, making it one of a handful of apps to earn both an Apple Design Award finalist nod and an App Store Award win within the same 12-month span. Moises simplifies the task of practicing and producing music with its AI platform that separates vocals and instruments from any song with unprecedented clarity. Beyond stem separation, the app offers tempo and pitch shifting, a smart metronome, chord detection, and multilingual lyric transcription—all wrapped in an intuitive, user-friendly interface. This thoughtful design brings professional-grade audio tools directly to anyone with a smartphone. The company has rapidly grown into the world's leading AI music platform, leveraging 45 proprietary AI models to process 2.5 million minutes of audio every day—the equivalent of nearly five years of continuous music. Available in 33 languages, Moises serves a global community of 60 million musicians across 190 countries. "Designing Moises meant removing friction between musicians and their creativity, turning complex AI-powered source separation into something as intuitive as moving a volume slider," said Jardson Almeida, Co-founder and Chief Design Officer at Moises. "With our AI-powered mixer, we've made sophisticated audio technology disappear into the background, letting musicians focus purely on their creativity." Benchmarking found the platform's Signal-to-Distortion Ratio (SDR), the metric measuring audio quality, is over 15% higher than that of other AI music tools, providing Moises users with clearer audio separation and more distinct instrument isolation. In lyrics transcription, Moises demonstrates a notable advantage over its competitors by achieving a higher level of accuracy in its predictions. The in-house transcription models developed by Moises exhibit a reduction of approximately 28% in character errors compared to ElevenLabs. "Our app empowers creators to achieve their fullest artistic expression with technology that serves their artistry rather than replacing it," says Co-founder and CEO Geraldo Ramos. "Apple's recognition of an AI tool that champions skill development and human performance over autonomous creation sends a powerful message about the value of responsible and artist-centric AI development." About Moises: Selected by Apple as the 2024 "iPad App of the Year," Moises empowers musicians with AI tools for music practice and creation, offering features like vocal/instrument separation, pitch adjustment, and chord detection. Backed by a team of world-class engineers and scientists with experience at Spotify, Pandora, and TikTok, the company has developed 45 proprietary AI models that process 2.5 million minutes of daily audio. Moises has 60 million users in 190 countries and is currently available in 33 languages. Founded in Salt Lake City, the company has over 100 employees in the US, Brazil, and Europe.

Man Flies Overseas for Surprise Reunion with the Father He's Never Met in Emotional Moment Caught on Camera (Exclusive)
Moises, raised without knowing his deported father, decided to travel to Santo Domingo for a surprise reunion With his partner Cheyenne filming, Moises was spotted meeting his biological father for the first time in a now-viral TikTok The emotional reunion sparked a new bond, leading to nightly FaceTime calls, deep conversations and a growing relationship with his dad and newfound familyThe airport in Santo Domingo was buzzing with the usual energy, but for Moises, every sound seemed to fade as he rounded the corner for a moment that would change his life. At 32, he was about to meet his biological father for the very first time — a moment orchestrated in secret, and captured in a now-viral TikTok video by his partner Cheyenne. 'I was excited,' Moises recalls to PEOPLE. 'At the airport, his wife kind of had this whole plan to surprise him. He had no idea we were coming … When I had turned that corner, I didn't really know how to respond, but it was a good feeling. I was excited.' Moises' journey to this moment was anything but simple. His father had been deported when Moises was just a child, leaving only faint memories and a handful of phone calls. 'My mother would tell me that I spoke to him, maybe like, two or three times as a child over the phone. I don't remember that, though,' he explains. 'But I do remember when I was around 18 years old, he had added me on Facebook, and we spoke here and there throughout the years.' However, as a teen, speaking with someone behind a screen did not feel like the way to solidify a real relationship. 'I don't really know who this person is, so we didn't talk too much,' he shares. 'So when we did get to meet, that's when we got to catch up and share life stories and really connect.' The decision to finally meet his father was sparked by a new chapter in Moises' own life — fatherhood. 'I think it's like a mix of a few things, because I'm a father of two daughters now, and ... he wanted to get to know them,' Moises shares. 'So it was kind of one of those things where the opportunity presented itself, and it was like one of those 'Why not?' moments so I kind of just pulled the trigger and did it.' Preparing for the emotional weight of the meeting, Moises leaned on Cheyenne for support. 'I'm not good at expressing emotions, so I kind of keep it inside. Cheyenne is kind of my crutch, so having her there with me through this experience was really helpful,' he says. Cheyenne, who filmed the now-viral TikTok, witnessed firsthand the tidal wave of emotions that washed over Moises. 'The overwhelming part that I noticed was the fact that they all knew and loved him because they had seen pictures and heard stories from his mother over the years,' she says. "And so I think the overwhelming part for him was the fact that everybody else felt kind of attached to him already, but he didn't know any of these people," she continues. "It was exciting, and it was cool to be surrounded by that much love for people that you don't know, but it can be a lot.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The reunion was full of surprises, not least of which was hearing his father's voice for the first time as an adult. 'He was born in Haiti, but he was raised in Brooklyn, so he has a really thick Brooklyn, New York accent. And I was like, where did that come from?' Moises says with a laugh. 'But then also looking at the similarities of our body and the different qualities that we share was really interesting … I have brothers that I've never got to meet, two little brothers. And that was really, that was really cool,' Moises adds. Since meeting his father, Moises has started to realize how their lives intertwined unintentionally. 'Once we started having conversations, I found out we both play the piano. He enjoys reading, I enjoy reading. Just a lot of different similarities that we have,' Moises says. 'He was a decorated boxer before he got deported, and I box. So we had no idea that we shared these common hobbies.' For Cheyenne, sharing the moment on TikTok was about more than just going viral. 'Seeing this and knowing that there's so many people that could relate to a lot of people that have never met their bio parents,' she explains. 'It was really cool to see how much hope it gave other people.' The impact of the reunion has rippled through Moises' life, changing his sense of identity and family. 'I feel more reassured in myself,' he says proudly. 'It's one of those things that I didn't think I knew I needed, but now that I've done it, I'm just extremely happy and grateful that I did.' As for the future, the family's bond continues to grow. 'We FaceTime almost nightly now. And he's been in with my daughters too. It's, it's been cool. We've talked about planning other get-togethers,' Moises shares. Read the original article on People

Best apps that use the NPU on a Snapdragon Windows laptop
The main reason you'd buy a Copilot+ PC is to take advantage of the Neural Processing Unit or NPU inside, to help accelerate AI workloads. That was the main agenda behind launching this subset of Windows PCs to begin with. As is the case with most new tech launches, we're yet to get all the promised AI features in Windows 11 that were supposed to be exclusive to Copilot+ laptops. This means, other than things like Cocreate in Paint and Windows Studio Effects, your NPU is pretty much lying dormant in your laptop. Thankfully, there are a bunch of apps that utilise the NPU in your Snapdragon Windows laptop. No matter which Snapdragon X series laptop you buy, all of them have the same NPU capable of 45 TOPS. This means, whether you get an entry-level model or the highest end one, AI performance should stay consistent throughout. This is all mainly thanks to Microsoft's guidelines for what qualifies as a Copilot+ PC, as it requires an NPU of a minimum of 40 TOPS performance. 28% OFF 41% OFF 33% OFF 14% OFF 55% OFF Blender was one of the first apps to natively work on Qualcomm Windows laptops, and is one of the best for animators and graphic designers. You can download the native Arm version of Blender from the website, which is available as an installer as well as portable ZIP file. There's a free NPU-powered plugin that's been created that runs on the chip's dedicated neural processor. With it, you can simulate rendering using the NPU at faster speeds, and use the text-to-image AI to enhance your 3D object in a high-res 2D image in a much quicker time. Not sure which laptop to buy? • Moises If you're into music production then you've no donut heard of Moises. Widely known for its great music separation features using AI, you can isolate various stems of the song like the drums, guitar, vocals, etc., in order to create your own custom track. It's a very handy tool for anyone learning to play an instrument, for when they need to play along to their favourite song. In November 2024, Moises announced that their app now uses the Snapdragon's NPU on Windows to help with instrument and vocal isolation, making the process quicker and at real-time speeds. According to a release from Moises, the AI workloads on the app were 35 percent faster when using the NPU, thereby providing a more seamless experience. • Affinity Photo 2 The entire Affinity suite has been optimized for Windows on Snapdragon,and there are certain tools in Affinity Photo 2 that are optimised to run on the NPU. Features like Object Selection and Subject Selection now get the NPU boost, allowing you to quickly select objects and adjust various parameters like colour and tint at rapid speeds. • Capture One Capture One is a highly popular photo editing tool used by many professional photographers, which is now optimised to take advantage of the NPU in Snapdragon laptops. Certain features are said to use the NPU like AI cropping, which manages to apply a consistent crop to a batch of photos so that all subjects have the same amount of head room. There's also AI-assisted colour-grading which instantly applies styles of a reference image to a batch of photos. • DAWs like Reaper and Cubase A Digital Audio Workstation or DAW is the most essential tool when recording music in a studio or home. It essentially allows you to create a recording by mixing MIDI inputs, vocals, and backing tracks into a final audio track. The cool thing is that many popular DAWs now have native support for Snapdragon Windows PCs, and don't have to rely on emulation. This is mainly thanks to Microsoft for releasing a dedicated MIDI stack and low-latency ASIO audio drivers in collaboration with Yamaha. First Published Date: 30 Apr, 16:27 IST

Axios Miami's guide to the 305's best pies
It's Pi Day! So we're launching a "Best Pies in Miami" series, in which we taste delicious desserts and let you know about them. Fun! State of play: We sampled a couple of pies from some of South Florida's most popular spots: Moises Bakery Miami Beach and Fireman Derek's Bake Shop. Did we convince our editor to let us do this so we can expense free pie? You bet ya! Did we skip lunch? Also, yes. Of note: Before you come at us with your "Hey, now, that's not pie!" takes, this is OUR pie tour and we get to do what we want. So, a few ground rules. Cheesecake? Pie. Flan? Also pie. Pastelitos? You guessed it. Sommer's pie: I went to Moises in North Beach because I'm loyal to my neighborhood. And I ordered a carne empanada ($4.66!) because we make the rules, and what's an empanada if not a meat pie? The dough was soft overall, but the corners were perfectly crispy to offer a nice crunch. The pie was decently stuffed with a sauteed onion and carne combo that had a nice kick to it, a hard boiled egg (take it or leave it in my opinion) and a random olive or two. Tasty. Martin's pie: A chain-smoking UberEats driver delivered me a salted caramel pie from Fireman Derek's Fort Lauderdale location. The rich and gooey filling, loosely held together by an oatmeal cookie crust, is almost too sweet. Serving-wise, less is more. A quarter slice will put you to sleep. The intrigue: I ordered an $11 slice but was accidentally given a $49 whole pie. My theory is that this sticky sucker is so tough to slice that the poor bakery employee said screw it. I gladly accepted it though because this is a truly delicious pie. Where's your favorite place to eat pie? Write to [email protected] with some spots we should check out.
