Lyrics Notebook
Creativeweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
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.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

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.
