Free Songwriting Apps That Actually Help You Finish
Published · updated · by Loopin
Plenty of apps are free; fewer actually help you finish songs. Here’s what to look for in a free songwriting app — and how to get from idea to done without paying.
What “free” should get you
Loopin — free to start
Loopin is free to start on the App Store, no account needed. Import a beat, write lyrics in time, record takes, keep versions, and move songs from Idea to Done. It even includes a free in-browser mastering tool so you can finish and release without paying for a studio.
Free, but not a dead end
The best free apps don’t trap your work — your songs are yours, and you can take a finished master anywhere. Start free, and only upgrade if and when you need more.
Stretch your free toolkit
Pair a free writing app with a free rhyme dictionary and the free Loopin mastering tool, and you’ve got a complete pipeline from idea to released track for $0.
