StaffPad is a scorewriter application for creating musical compositions using handwriting recognition and multi-touch input for music notation.

Originally released for Windows 8 on 31 March 2015, StaffPad was subsequently released on iPadOS on 5 February 2020. Designed for composers, orchestrators, arrangers, songwriters, and teachers, StaffPad is used to create compositions, edit notation, and play back a score using samples. It features adaptive toolsets, a pressure-toggled Erase tool, and text recognition for musical notation. It is now part of Muse Group.
