Lyrics Notebook
A private lyrics notebook in one HTML file on your machine: no account, no cloud, no server to talk to.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here: go on, put something in it.
Forged into a knife, this tool ages with use: the blades you reach for wear soft, entries you tend keep their bloom, and the years travel with the file through every reforge.
The good line arrives in the shower, on the bus, at 2am — never at the desk. The Lyrics Notebook is where fragments go so they stop escaping: the song or fragment, its mood or genre, and the lyrics and chords in full. Half of songwriting is keeping the scraps; the other half can wait.

Standing facts
- One HTML file. Opens in any modern browser, on any operating system.
- No account. No login, no sign-up, no e-mail wall.
- No cloud. Nothing leaves your browser: no server, no telemetry, no analytics.
- Yours forever. The file keeps working whether or not Offline.Ltd does.
- Ages with use. Entries you tend keep their bloom; the years travel with the file through every reforge.
In ten years
Whatever you put in (Song / fragment, Mood / genre and Lyrics & chords) stays inside the file itself. There is no account to lapse, no plan to be sunset, no migration e-mail with a deadline in it. A decade of lyrics notebook entries is a decade of your own handwriting, kept in a document you can back up like any other.
If Offline.Ltd closes tomorrow, nothing on your machine notices. That isn't a marketing promise; it's simply what a file is.
Getting your data out
Export to CSV from inside the tool and open it in anything: a spreadsheet, another app, a text editor. Or keep the HTML file: it is plain, readable, and inspectable; you can open it in a text editor and see your own rows sitting there. No export queue, no "we'll e-mail you a link within 48 hours", no format that only one vendor can read.
Copy the file to a USB stick, a NAS, a folder your devices already sync. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, online or off, because a browser is the only thing it ever needed.
Who else sees this
Nobody. Your Song / fragment, Mood / genre and Lyrics & chords never leave the file on your own disk. There is no account, no telemetry, no analytics, and no code in the file that opens a network connection, pull the cable and watch it carry on working. How privacy works across the Creative tools →
Questions people ask
How do songwriters keep track of lyric ideas and fragments?
By writing them down the moment they arrive, before self-doubt gets a vote. Each entry holds a title or fragment, a mood or genre tag, and the lyrics and chords themselves — enough to pick the thread back up months later.
Can I keep chords alongside the lyrics?
Yes — the lyrics and chords field is one open space, so you can write the chords above the lines the way you would in any battered paper notebook.
Are my unfinished songs stored anywhere online?
No — the notebook runs offline in your browser, no account, no cloud. Everything lives in a single HTML file on your own machine, so the embarrassing first drafts stay decently private until they grow up.
