StudioNotes is an organizer for songwriters, artists, producers, and recording engineers. It helps you track your songs, recordings, releases, collaborators, tasks, and music-related details across all your Apple devices.
You can download StudioNotes from the App Store.
No. StudioNotes does not upload or store audio. You can enter information about your songs and recordings, but the audio itself stays wherever you keep it (DAW, files, streaming services, etc.).
All of your data is stored locally on your devices and in your personal iCloud account.
StudioNotes does not collect, store, or access any of your content.
Yes. You can use StudioNotes without an iCloud account, and you can create songs, recordings, releases, contacts, and to-dos normally.
However, without iCloud:
If you later sign in to iCloud, StudioNotes will begin syncing your data automatically and keep it updated across all your devices.
The same limitations will occur if you are over your storage limit with iCloud
No. We cannot see your songs, recordings, collaborator lists, notes, or anything else you enter. Everything stays private in your iCloud.
Yes! StudioNotes is a universal app. Your project details stay in sync on all your Apple devices through iCloud.
Not currently and there are no current plans to support those platforms.
You can create up to 10 total entries (songs, recordings, and releases combined).
All features work normally while you’re under the limit.
After that, you can continue viewing and exporting your data, but you’ll need a subscription to add or edit items. You will also probably see a reminder to subscribe once you hit that limit. Those subscriptions allow us to keep working on StudioNotes and add more features too, so it's really worth subscribing.
The StudioNotes Pro subscription gives you unlimited songs, recordings, and releases, plus ongoing updates and improvements. Everything else works the same—your data stays private in your iCloud.
Your data remains accessible.
You can still view everything, export PDFs, print lyric sheets, and navigate your catalog.
You just won’t be able to add or edit items until you resubscribe.
StudioNotes does not currently offer real-time collaboration or shared projects.
However, you can share individual items with other StudioNotes users, and they can import them into their own library. We are considering other types of sharing between collaborators in future releases.
Yes. You can export PDFs for any song, recording, release, or contact. These are great for sharing with co-writers, producers, musicians, studios, or publishers who do not have StudioNotes.
You can also export any of those items as a document which will create a .studiosong, .studiorecording, .studiocontact or .studiorelease file. Those files can then be opened again in StudioNotes and you can send them to other users of StudioNotes. These document files are not updated when you change information in the application after it has been exported. If you send them to someone who has StudioNotes (including the free version) they can open them and view the information (but not edit it). They can also save that information to their own local collection. Some information might get lost in that process if, for example, they save a song with a reference to another songwriter but they do not yet have that songwriter saved as a contact.
Anyway... document export is cool :-)
Yes! StudioNotes includes a clean, easy-to-read lyric sheet export, perfect for studio sessions or performances.
Yes. You can customize your keywords, genres, collaborator roles, and registration/link types so StudioNotes fits your own workflow. For example, if you are a member of a service that you use to register your songs that is not part of the StudioNotes default list of services, you can add that service as an Identifier type and it will show up just like the other identifiers like ISRC, ISWC, etc. You can also add URLs so if you have your own preferred site where you upload the latest mix of your recording or you have a preferred site for collaboratively writing songs, you can add those services as Link Types and the links will show up just like the way that the streaming service links appear for recordings and releases.
Check out the Settings window where you can configure all of this information.
Those are badges that help you quickly see what each item has—such as artwork, registrations, links, agreements, or missing details. It’s a fast way to know what still needs attention or to know that some piece of information is already added. The details pages will show a legend of which badges have been set with a text description of what it means.
You can add your own badges by adding Link Types or Identifier Types.
Yes. You can use StudioNotes offline.
Your changes will sync with your other devices the next time you’re connected to the internet.
Your data is automatically synchronized to the cloud through iCloud, just like any other iCloud-enabled app. You can also rely on device backups made through iCloud or Finder. This means when you get a new iPhone, iPad or Mac and you start StudioNotes, it will automatically get the latest version of all of your data from iCloud.
However this is different from backup. If you delete a song, or some information in that song, that change usually will get synced to the cloud almost immediately and there is no way to get back to an earlier version.
