Pocket MIDI is an app by BG Studio in the Education category, listed since at least December 2022. It includes native code only for x86 32-bit, ARM (legacy) and ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.
It asks for 5 permissions, none of them sensitive.
What's new in v1.5
Bug fixed.
