## What is Bridge?

You know the graveyard. Voice memos with no names. A verse in your notes app. A chorus texted to yourself at 2am. A melody you hummed at a red light and swore you would remember.

Bridge is one place for all of it, built by a songwriter who got tired of losing the good ones.

CATCH IT BEFORE IT GOES
One tap records. One line types. Hold the disc to film a chord shape, open a full writing session, or bring in a clip you already have. Nothing needs a title before it gets to exist. Every scrap lands in one place, ready for the day it becomes something.

SIT DOWN AND WRITE
Some nights it's a one-liner. Some nights it's three pages. A session is a dated page that works like your paper notebook: write until you're empty, hum takes without leaving the page, and star the lines worth keeping. Starred lines become ideas you can pull into any song later.

GROW IT INTO A SONG
Drag an idea onto a song and weave it into a verse. Put chords right on the syllables where they change. Keep your takes beside the words they carry, so the melody in your head and the words on the page never drift apart. Tune up without leaving the app. And when you're stuck, the rhyme book, the chord library and 240 prompts work on what you wrote, not instead of you.

EVERY WORD IS YOURS
Bridge cannot write a lyric, a melody or a chord progression. Not switched off. Not hidden behind a setting. There is no generator in this app to turn on. Craft tools sharpen your writing. They never replace it.

THE SUBSCRIPTION YOU CAN QUIT
Your first three songs are free and yours forever. If you subscribe and later cancel, nothing locks: every song, take, video and lyric stays readable and playable for good, and your words and takes export whenever you want them elsewhere. A notebook that can lock you out was never really yours.

NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING.
Your work lives on your iPhone and syncs through your own iCloud. Nobody else can read it. Including us.

Bridge Pro is $4.99 a month, $29.99 a year, or $89.99 once.

Don't let the good ones die.
