Summary

Song Cage brings chord, melody, lyric, and music theory tools together in a songwriting workspace. Its chord palette includes diatonic and borrowed chords, secondary dominants, extensions, and modulation routes, with suggestions ranked against a melody and neighboring chords. The lyric workspace offers rhyme, synonym, semantic, and verb/noun suggestions. The free web plan supports one song and includes playback, audio recording, and song-file export. A Song Cage licence costs 99.00 USD per once and adds unlimited songs, PDF chord sheets, MIDI export, Mac and Windows desktop apps, an AU/VST3 plugin, phone captures in an Ideas inbox, collaborators, and web/desktop sync. The desktop app works offline and requires macOS 12 or later, or Windows 10 or later on 64-bit x64. The free iPhone and Android app captures voice memos, lyrics, and chord ideas offline without an account, but lacks the full editor, timeline, export, and DAW. The plugin streams chord and melody MIDI in time with DAW transport and saves songs in the DAW project. Song Cage says it does not use AI to write songs; chord suggestions follow music theory rules and word tools use dictionary lookups.

Who it is for

It suits songwriters who want chord and lyric ideas in one workspace, with desktop and DAW options for composing. The free mobile app is for capturing ideas offline rather than using the full editor.

Verdict
