Tidal Cycles is a Haskell-based language for making music with code. You write patterns, transform them with functions, and out comes generative, evolving music. I've been coding music for over a decade and Tidal is one of my favorite tools, but I don't use it often enough to keep all the functions in my head. The full documentation is thorough, but sometimes you just want to look something up quickly without the surrounding context.
For the last decade my day job has been Clojure, and one of my go-to references is the ClojureScript cheatsheet on cljs.info. It's fast, scannable, and gets out of the way. I wanted something like that for Tidal.
Bits of Tidal is a quick-reference cheatsheet for Tidal Cycles functions, plus a small practice companion that suggests functions to try, to help push me out of my usual patterns when I'm making music.
The entire thing was built with Claude Code. I didn't touch the code at all, just described features and reviewed the result.
