GarageBand is a digital audio workstation software application by Apple for macOS, iPadOS, and iOS devices that allows users to create music or podcasts. It is a lighter, amateur-oriented offshoot of the more professional-oriented Logic Pro. GarageBand was originally released for macOS in 2004 and brought to iOS in 2011.
