How It Works

From a first idea to a finished release

SketSong is a song development management system. It organizes the journey of a song — the workflow, the metadata, and how everything connects — while your audio stays in your own Google Drive. SketSong is not a DAW or a recording studio.

  1. 1

    Capture Ideas

    Ideas start in the Idea Bank and stay there. A hook, a lyric, or a voice memo is captured the moment it arrives, so nothing slips away before you can use it.

  2. 2

    Develop Projects

    A Project is where a song is built. It can connect multiple Ideas, and a single Idea can be connected to multiple Projects — your ideas are reusable building blocks, not one-time notes.

  3. 3

    Create Demos

    A Demo is a listenable stage of a song's development — a real, hearable version you can return to, compare, and build on as the song grows.

  4. 4

    Catalog Releases

    Releases catalog your final masters and released works, with the metadata that keeps a growing body of work organized and easy to find.

  5. 5

    Listen and organize through Player

    The Player lets you listen across ideas, demos, and releases in one place, and organize what you hear into playlists.

  6. 6

    Keep user-owned media connected through Google Drive

    Your audio stays in your own Google Drive. SketSong connects to those files to store and play them; the media remains under your control.
