Somebody shipped a songwriting tool with zero AI inside. Song Cage stacks lyrics, chords, melody, and structure onto one timeline in the DAW, and chord and melody MIDI streams to whatever instruments a writer loads, locked to host transport.
Chord picks lean on functional harmony, tagged as diatonic, borrowed from a parallel mode, secondary dominant, or tritone substitution, each with a plain note on why it works against neighboring chords and the melody. A modulation panel offers pivot chords, cadential routes, and paths home.
Lyric tools live inside as well, with rhymes bucketed by syllable count, slant rhymes, synonyms, and semantic association, crunched on-device without a server call. Parts drop out as MIDI, and songs land as a chord-sheet PDF with diagrams.
The same song opens in the desktop app for macOS and Windows, the browser, and a free offline capture app for iOS and Android.
Pricing sits at $79 once, free for Song Cage Pro and Band subscribers, covering macOS 11.0 or later as a universal binary and Windows 10 or later in AU, VST3, and standalone. An account gates sign-in.
