RapUP is a focused lyrics editor built for songwriters, rappers, and poets who want a clean place to turn ideas into finished songs. ORGANIZE YOUR CATALOG Keep every lyric in one library with search and three sort options — recently updated, title A-Z, or recently created. Group songs into folders, bookmark favorites for quick access, and recover deleted lyrics from Trash before they're gone for good. STRUCTURE EVERY SONG Break songs into named sections — Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Intro, Outro. Collapse a section to focus on what you're working on, drag to reorder lines and sections, and duplicate a section in place or at the end of the song. Up to 50 steps of undo and redo are always one tap away. WRITE WITH RHYTHM IN MIND Every line automatically shows a syllable count, so you can feel where a bar runs long before you ever sing it out loud. PRIVATE BY DESIGN RapUP has no account, no sign-in, and no internet connection required. Your lyrics are stored only on your device — never uploaded, never shared. Built for iPhone and iPad, with a layout that adapts to whichever you're writing on.
