Co-writing app
Write together, in real time.
Lyric Genie is a songwriting app built for co-writing. Invite your collaborators and everyone writes in the same song at once, each writer on their own tab, plus a shared Master version you agree on together. It works in the browser on Mac or PC and on iPhone and iPad, and collaborators join free.
Room for everyone, one version you agree on
Co-writing in one shared document gets messy: people type over each other and good ideas get lost. In Lyric Genie every writer has their own tab to try things, updating live for everyone, and the Master tab holds the version the room agrees on. Move the keepers into Master as you go; one writer edits it at a time while everyone watches it change.
On the web, open a collaborator's tab beside your own to watch it change as they type.
Everything the session needs, in the song
- Chat beside the lyrics, with voice memos, bounces and photos. Audio lands in the song's recordings too.
- Notes on the words. Highlight a phrase to leave a note for your co-writers.
- Alternate lines. Keep two versions of a line side by side until you decide.
- Recordings linked to lines, so the melody idea stays next to the words.
- Video sessions with voice and your DAW streaming in through our plugin for Logic, Ableton, Cubase, FL Studio and more. Pro writers host; anyone can join.
- Lyric sheets with writer credits, so splits and publishing info are written down before everyone leaves.
Remote or in the room
Remote writers see each other's changes live, wherever they are. In the room, everyone can write on their own phone or laptop and pull the best lines into Master. An invite is all a collaborator needs, in their browser or the iPhone app. See the guide to co-writing like Nashville writers.
