NOTES Notes is the easiest way to understand and collect all of your music royalties in one place. Every musician deserves all of their royalties. But more than $1 billion goes unclaimed every year, and 50+ platforms each require individual collection. Royalty registrations are fragmented and manual — Notes makes sure you aren't missing money. Collect all of your royalties for your entire catalog. Review your registrations across The Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC), Performing Rights Organizations (PROs), SoundExchange, and more, and see exactly where royalties are going unclaimed. WHAT NOTES DOES - All your songs in one place — import your existing catalog by artist, playlist, release, or song - Review your catalog for registration issues, including missing registrations, unclaimed shares, and unmatched recordings - See clear, data-backed estimates of unclaimed royalties, built on real stream counts and current mechanical rates - Verify songwriter, performer, and producer credits for the songs in your catalog - Look up the identifiers behind your songs — International Standard Recording Codes (ISRCs), International Standard Musical Work Codes (ISWCs), and Interested Party Information (IPI) numbers - Review recording and songwriting splits alongside the registrations they affect - Track catalog health across 50+ royalty platforms - Share song credits and registration data with your team using the native iOS share sheet WHO IT'S FOR - Musicians tracking their own royalties - Songwriters verifying registrations across PROs and the MLC - Managers reviewing catalog health for the musicians they administer - Labels and publishers monitoring registrations and splits - Anyone who wants to understand the credits behind a song BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Notes keeps you connected to your catalog wherever you are.
