NOTES Notes is the easiest way to release your music and collect all of your royalties in one place. Every musician deserves all of their royalties. But royalty registrations are fragmented and manual, and a song that isn't registered everywhere it earns leaves money unclaimed. Notes releases your music, reviews your catalog for issues, and makes sure you get paid. Notes does not take a percentage of your royalties. RELEASE YOUR MUSIC - Distribute your songs to 30+ platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Tidal, and Deezer - Register your songs with The Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) as you release them - Attach credits and International Standard Recording Codes (ISRCs) to every release REVIEW YOUR CATALOG AND FIND MISSING MONEY - Import your existing catalog by artist, playlist, release, or song - Review your catalog for issues, including missing registrations, unclaimed shares, and unmatched recordings, across The MLC, Performing Rights Organizations (PROs), and SoundExchange - See clear, data-backed estimates of unclaimed royalties, built on real stream counts and current mechanical rates - Verify songwriter, performer, and producer credits, and look up the identifiers behind your songs — ISRCs, International Standard Musical Work Codes (ISWCs), and Interested Party Information (IPI) numbers FIX ISSUES AND CLAIM YOUR ROYALTIES - Notes Publishing fixes publishing issues and collects missing money by registering your songs at The MLC - Download your royalty review, or share it with your existing publishing administrator CONTRACTS AND PAYOUTS - Create and send contracts that set each collaborator's share of a song's recording and songwriting royalties - Collaborators approve or decline their share right in the app, and approved contracts pay everyone automatically - Track your total earnings over time, from one week to all time WHO IT'S FOR - Musicians releasing music and 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 contracts BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Notes keeps you connected to your catalog wherever you are.
