StudioNotes is a music catalog and project organization app for songwriters, artists, and producers. Keep the information behind your music organized and connected: songs, recordings, releases, collaborators, files, splits, agreements, registrations, identifiers, notes, and the work that still needs to be done. SONGS, RECORDINGS, AND RELEASES StudioNotes keeps the different parts of your catalog connected without treating them as the same thing. A Song holds the composition: lyrics, chords, songwriters, splits, registrations, and other songwriting information. Recordings keep track of the actual versions you've recorded, including performers, producers, engineers, agreements, identifiers, audio files, stems, alternate mixes, and other deliverables. Releases bring those Recordings together as singles, EPs, and albums, with artwork, release dates, distribution information, links, and track details. FIND WHAT YOU NEED Search across your catalog and jump directly to the information you're looking for. Use filters and Smart Collections to find groups of items based on the information StudioNotes already tracks. Find recordings that are missing agreements, songs that still need registrations, releases that need attention, or anything else you want to keep track of as your catalog grows. Keep To-Dos with individual songs and recordings so the work that still needs attention stays connected to the project. FILES AND AUDIO Keep audio, artwork, agreements, documents, and other files with the songs and recordings they belong to. The built-in audio player lets you listen to mixes and ideas, create playback queues, loop sections, and use song markers. CarPlay support makes it easy to listen to your mixes in the car. ANALYZE YOUR MUSIC StudioNotes can analyze your recordings to identify key, tempo, loudness, and song sections. Suggest Descriptors can help fill in keywords, mood/feel, and lyric themes based on your music and lyrics. LYRICS, CHORDS, AND NOTES Write and edit lyrics and chords alongside the rest of your song information, with full-screen and performance-ready views when you need them. Keep longer notes, press releases, bios, and other text with your projects using Markdown formatting. On Mac and iPad, text can open in a separate editing window when you need more room to work. SHARE AND EXPORT Create shareable Release Pages with artwork, streaming and social links, and see page views and link clicks. Create copies of audio files containing selected metadata already stored in StudioNotes, including songwriter and split information, contact details, lyrics, artwork, identifiers, and clearance information. BUILT FOR YOUR APPLE DEVICES StudioNotes works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with your catalog and files synced across your devices using iCloud. It is offline-friendly and designed with privacy in mind. There are no ads or social feeds, and your catalog isn't shared with third parties. FREE TO START Use nearly all of StudioNotes with your first 10 Songs, Recordings, and Releases. StudioNotes Pro removes the creation and editing limit for larger catalogs. If your Pro subscription ends, your existing catalog remains available to view, search, and export. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL • Payment will be charged to your Apple ID Account at confirmation of purchase. • The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of your selected subscription. • Your subscription can be managed and auto-renewal can be turned off in your App Store Account Settings. • The Terms of Service and End User License Agreement are Apple's standard End User License Agreement (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
