About Songwriter Studio: For Lyrics
Songwriter Studio is a lyrics editor built for songwriters. The only songwriting app with real-time collaboration and co-writing. Get live rhyme highlighting, instant syllable counts, and chords that stay attached to the exact words as you write. Designed by songwriters for songwriters FEATURES - Rhymes as you type: Highlight perfect, near, and slant rhymes in 12+ color-coded groups. It matches what sounds right, not just word endings, and everything runs locally on your device. - Write together, live: Share a link and your co-writer can jump in within seconds, with no sign-up. See each line update as they type and leave comments on the exact lyrics. - Syllable counts inline: Per-line syllable counts appear right beside your lyrics. When a line matches your target, the counts highlight so your meter stays consistent without leaving the page. - Chords when you want them: Tap a line, type a chord, and it anchors to that word as you edit. Prefer lyric-only writing? You can ignore chords completely. - Guitar tabs for riffs and melody: Add your own guitar tabs to keep track of what you play alongside your lyrics. - Structure that organizes itself: Type [Verse], [Chorus], or [Bridge] and your song automatically arranges into a clean structure. - Quick ideas: Capture a lyric spark in seconds and return later to shape it into a full section. - Writing prompts: Break through the blank page with built-in prompts designed to start momentum fast. - Own your work: Export every song whenever you want, so you can move on without losing your files. REAL-TIME COLLABORATION The only songwriting app with real-time collaboration. Send a link, your co-writer taps it, and they're in the song! No account creation required. Every edit lands live as you both type. You can even make threaded comments to discuss the song. Your lyrics are shared securely with end-to-end encryption and one tap can revoke access. A RHYME DICTIONARY BUILT FOR REAL SONGWRITERS Get ranked rhyme suggestions based on how real artists write. Our rhyme dictionary is built from roughly 70 years of Billboard hits and the 10,000 most-streamed songs, so suggestions reflect real life musical rhyme patterns, not alphabetical lists. BUILT FOR REAL WRITERS - Fast, no-lag editor: A smooth, native iPhone and iPad experience with a calm typewriter feel. - Unlimited songs: Even free users have no limits on the number of songs they can write - iCloud sync: Start a verse on your phone and finish it on your iPad. - One-tap export: Export as PDF with chords laid out above your lyrics, or export plain text. Your songs, your files. - Private by design: Your lyrics live on your device and sync through your own iCloud account. We do not store your words on our servers, and analysis runs locally. We never track what you write. FREE AND PRO Free includes unlimited songs, the full editor, color-coded rhyme highlighting, syllable counts, chord notation, iCloud sync, and PDF and text export, no account required and zero limitations on the number of songs you can create! Songwriter Studio Pro unlocks: - Unlimited real-time collaboration: Share a link, bring in a co-writer instantly with no sign-up, watch edits appear live, and comment on any line. - Songwriting analysis: Vocabulary diversity, sentiment, section balance, and cliché detection. - MIDI export and advanced insights. Write lyrics. Find rhymes. Finish the song. Start free today. Please note: Songwriter Studio supports multiple languages, but rhyme highlighting and suggestions are built for English lyrics, and syllable counting is tuned for English, so results may be less precise in other languages.
