Everything you need to write music

Each section has its own color, just like in the app. Everything is linked: from a genre you open a project, from a project you ask the assistant.

Library

Every genre taken apart, piece by piece

310 genres and subgenres with their typical scales, progressions, rhythms, instruments, synths, structure and mix. You import your own artists and songs, even from a playlist.

  • Composition sheets with chords, sections and piano roll
  • Search your songs for a chord progression
  • Import artists and songs from a list or a CSV

  • Pick up where you left off, even offline

Concepts

499 theory lessons with ear-training, reading and construction exercises: 10-question sets and your progress.

Assistant

It knows your archive and the active project, looks things up in your books and reads the images you attach. It changes nothing without your consent.

Blend

Put up to four songs or genres on the table: shared keys, tempo and scale degrees, and a proposal for blending them.

Bookshelf

Upload the PDFs of the music books you study (up to 5): the text is indexed page by page and the assistant looks things up in it.

Audio, MIDI, pitch

MIDI controllers, latency, a virtual keyboard and a vocal pitch monitor. The microphone turns on only when you ask.

Notes

Your music notebook: ideas, exercises and project decisions, saved automatically and linked to the library.

Anywhere, even offline

It runs in the browser on computer, tablet and phone. You can install it as an app: without a connection you still open your pages and keep working.

Import your music

Paste “Artist - Title” or upload a playlist CSV: the entries stay in your account only and the assistant fills them in.

Learn for free, no account needed

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

Nothing. The account is free and includes 5 assistant requests a day, 200 MB for your files and up to 5 PDF books. There are no subscriptions and no ads.

Can I use the assistant without limits?

Yes, with your own Anthropic API key: you enter it in Account, it stays in your browser only and you pay Anthropic directly for what you use. That also turns on web search.

Do donations unlock anything?

No. Donations are voluntary and don't add features: they keep the site running and free for everyone, paying for the server and the free assistant's requests.

Is my data private?

Projects, notes, files and imported songs are visible only to you. You can export everything or delete your account at any time. The site uses a single technical cookie to keep you signed in and counts visits anonymously.

No: it runs in the browser, on computer, tablet and phone. You can install it as an app from the browser and open it even without a connection.

How do I sign in?

With Google, with Apple or with email and password. When you sign up you get a recovery code: keep it safe, because the site doesn't send emails.
