Collaborative Songwriting App for Bands
Write songs together, kept in sync automatically. Share view-only links with anyone or invite up to 5 editors by email, all working on the same chords, lyrics, and melody.
Write Together
With the Song Cage licence you can invite up to 5 editors to a single song. Everyone's edits sync automatically, usually within a few seconds: chords, lyrics, structure, melody. No more emailing files back and forth or merging conflicting versions.
- Up to 5 editors per song
- Background sync across chords, lyrics, and melody
- See everyone with access and their role (owner, editor, viewer)
- Song owners set every collaborator’s role
Share Your Way
Not every collaborator needs edit access. Generate a view-only link for vocalists learning the song. Set that link to Can edit for your co-writer, or send an email invite that drops someone straight into the project.
- View-only links: anyone with the link can see, nobody can change
- Set a link to Can view or Can edit
- Email invites with one-click accept
- Song owners can change a collaborator’s role or remove them at any time
- View-only links are free; invites come with the Song Cage licence, and collaborators don’t need to pay
From Solo to Co-Writing
Share a view-only link for free. When you want co-writers editing with you, the Song Cage licence adds collaborator invites. The songwriting tools are the same either way.
- Free: one song in the web app, with view-only share links
- The licence: collaborator invites, up to 5 editors per song, unlimited songs, PDF and MIDI export
- No collaboration tier to work out
- Your songs stay yours
Common Questions
How many people can collaborate on a song?
With the Song Cage licence you can invite up to 5 editors per song. Each editor can work on chords, lyrics, and melody, and changes sync in the background, usually within a few seconds. The song owner controls who has access and can revoke editor permissions at any time.
Can I share songs without giving edit access?
Yes, and it’s free. A view-only share link lets anyone with the link see your chords, lyrics, and structure, but they can’t change anything. Perfect for sharing demos with vocalists, producers, or bandmates who just need to learn the song.
Is there a free tier for Song Cage?
Yes. The iPhone and Android capture apps are free forever, and the web app is free for one song, with no credit card required. Exporting that song as a file and sharing a view-only link are free too. No song is ever deleted. The Song Cage licence adds collaborator invites, unlimited songs, and PDF and MIDI export, and it covers the desktop app and the AU/VST3 plugin.
