SongScratch is the musician's notebook for capturing ideas on the fly. Record a riff, scribble a lyric, tag a mood - then build songs from your collected fragments when inspiration meets intention.
You hum something brilliant on the bus. Record a riff at 2am. Scribble a lyric on a receipt. Three weeks later, you can't find any of it - or worse, you've forgotten it entirely.
Voice Memos gives you a wall of untitled recordings. Notes gives you text with no audio. Neither of them helps you turn fragments into finished songs.
Not a DAW. Not a lyric generator. A fast, focused notebook for capturing and shaping your raw ideas.
Record audio, type lyrics, or both - in under 10 seconds. One tap to record. Tag it, save it, move on. Speed is everything when inspiration strikes.
Tag by mood, instrument, key, or your own custom labels. Find that "melancholy guitar riff from last month" instantly instead of scrolling through unlabelled recordings.
Group your scattered fragments into song projects. Drag ideas into verse, chorus, and bridge sections. Watch songs take shape from your collected scraps.
PWA that installs to your home screen on any device. Capture ideas on your phone at 3am, organise them on your laptop the next morning. Everything syncs.
Search and filter your entire collection. By tag, by date, by type. Your back catalogue of ideas, always findable, never lost in a pile of "New Recording 47".
See your creative patterns. When you're most productive, what moods you lean towards, how your ideas develop over time. Gentle insights, not gamified nonsense.
Three steps. No complexity. No learning curve.
Hit record and hum, sing, or play. Or type a lyric fragment. Tag it with a mood and move on. Under 10 seconds.
Your ideas build up in a searchable, filterable library. Find anything by tag, mood, date, or type. No more lost voice memos.
Pull fragments into Song Projects. Arrange them into sections - verse, chorus, bridge. Your scattered ideas become structured songs.
