4BAR turns inspiration into a finished, shareable video in minutes instead of hours. Choose a beat, write your bars, record your video, share it. That's it. The 4-bar format is for everyone. For beginners: Short enough that anyone can make one, and it's a great way to build your skills. For experienced artists, it's a different kind of challenge: saying more with less. All the time-consuming work that usually stands between an idea and a finished video — recording audio and video separately, syncing to the beat, putting lyrics on screen — 4BAR handles for you. You get to focus on what really matters: the BARS. CHOOSE YOUR BEAT Browse a library of dope beats ranging all styles. WRITE YOUR BARS Put all your thoughts down in the notepad while the beat loops forever, so you never get interrupted. Save your lyrics and pick up right where you left off. RECORD YOUR BARS Capture your video with your lyrics directly on screen, teleprompter-style. No memorization needed. SHARE YOUR BARS Your video comes out with animated lyrics, clean audio, and a vertical frame built for social. Post it to the platform of your choice, or send it straight to a friend. YOUR BARS BY THE NUMBERS Create a video every day to build your streak, and track your stats covering bars, beats, and app usage. UNLOCK MORE BARS Unlock 8-bar and 16-bar formats with a 4BAR subscription. Same effortless workflow, more room to rap.
