iAnalyse is a macOS music analysis app by Pierre Couprie for creating annotated listening guides, synchronized scores, and audio-based visual studies.
What is iAnalyse?
iAnalyse is a macOS application published by Pierre Couprie for musical analysis and the creation of listening guides. It supports projects that synchronize score pages with audio or video, helping users study works while following notation and playback together. The software includes slideshow, time-based, and animated views for examining structure, audio descriptors, spectra, and other visual representations of sound. It also provides annotation tools for scores, images, sonograms, and analytical graphics, with support for text, shapes, images, video, and music-specific objects. iAnalyse can import common audio, video, image, PDF, data, MIDI, and MusicXML formats, and it supports exports to image, video, and data formats. Users may encounter it in musicology, music education, electroacoustic analysis, or research workflows that require close study of musical form, sound, and performance.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a legitimate user-installed music analysis application from Pierre Couprie. The published privacy information states that personal data is not collected and that imported files and settings stay on the device. As with any creative or research tool, the main data risk is the local project and media files you choose to open and store.
Recommendation: Keep it if you use it for music analysis, listening guides, teaching, or research. Remove it if you no longer need the application or its local project data, but review any saved analytical work before deleting related support files.
