Write

Write bars, not paragraphs

Piece types that present true to form. Every bar has its own menu: duplicate, move, annotate, delete, all undoable.

Bar mode: a piece as a list of bars, each with a syllable count
Bar mode, with the syllable count on every line
  • Bar modesimple view, or bars with a syllable count
  • Rhymes at the cursorsuggested by syllable combination
  • Sparksflip through pre-built prompts and challenges
  • Annotationsexplain a bar while the rhyme is fresh
  • Jotone button to catch an idea for later
  • Pen nameswrite under more than one name

No red squiggles under a fragment you meant.

Protect

Writing journey tracked, never lose an edit

Every change becomes a restore point. Watch a piece un-write itself back to the first word, and restore from any point along the way.

  • Unlimited undoscrub back to the first word
  • Locka finished piece stays finished
  • Offlinewrite offline and save when reconnected
  • Backup and synceverything, to Dropbox or Google Drive

Offline needs one visit on that device first.

Listen

Keep your instrumentals where you write

Curated crates of instrumentals to start from, or your own. Favorite, tag, pull and link a beat into the piece you are working on.

Deconstruct

Pull the scheme apart visually in layers

Paint the rhymes in a verse by hand in the Rhyme Lab. See where a scheme holds, and where it drifts.

  • Layersone word in two families at once
  • Tagsby layer and by rhyme convention
  • Scheme Libraryrhyme school with definitions and examples

The lab studies your writing. It does not import published lyrics.

Organize

Keep a body of work, not a folder

The Vault holds every piece, searchable and filterable. Group what belongs together, and see the shape of the whole catalogue.

Collaborate

Keep it between collaborators with no leakage

Share a piece with the people working on it, and no one else. Private by design.

  • Private roomsinvite by QR code or private code
  • Cypher or tradetake turns, or pass a piece back and forth
  • Room chatcomments stay beside the work in the room

This is not a social feed. Nothing posts out to the world.

Perform

Walk in ready

Load an instrumental, read the piece with the prompter, loop a part of any track until it sits. Then stage mode: the piece full screen, phone in hand. When someone says spit something, you are there in a few frictionless clicks.
