What's New in SongCatcher

September 10, 2026
Your catches can belong to a night now. • Bundle songs into an event — a concert, a yoga class, a bar you were in — and the whole set lives under one name instead of scattered down the timeline. File a whole night in one go from Caught, pick the songs by hand on your shelf, or add one the moment you save it. • Saved has a fourth way to look at itself: by event. And every saved song now says which night it belongs to, so the one that made it into the set is never confused with the one that didn't. • Share a night the way you already share a catch — a ticket stub with the setlist printed down it, and a link anyone can open.
