Get the free app that puts your songwriting on autopilot


Cuesheet is a free app that builds the creative habits that make songs happen – timed routines, daily streaks and proven songwriting frameworks. Works on any device.

Most songwriters don't have a talent problem...

They have a starting problem.

The blank page. The session that somehow became scrolling. The song that was almost started — again.

The difference between the songwriters who fill catalogues and the ones who wait for inspiration isn't talent. It's not even time. It's the fact that they show up with a plan — every single day.

Cuesheet is that plan.

How it works

You build a routine once – a sequence of timed tasks, each one named and ordered – and hit play when you're ready to write. 

The app tells you exactly what to do, for how long and when to move on.

No more decisions before the writing even begins.

  • Build timed routines for any session – 5 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour
  • Choose from 20 pre-made templates built around proven songwriting methods
  • Track your daily streak per routine and watch your creative habits form in real time
  • Works on iPhone, Android, iPad and laptop – add to your home screen in seconds

What's inside

Cuesheet ships with 7 dedicated songwriting routines – built from the same methods professional writers use every single day.

  • Write a Hook in 5mins – title, gut-check, chorus. Done.
  • Draft Song in 10mins – hook, verses, bridge. Skeleton ready.
  • Draft Song in 20, 30, or 60 mins – go as deep as your time allows
  • Title Harvest – 20 titles in 15 minutes
  • Before You Write Checklist – the two-minute diagnostic that saves two hours

Plus morning rituals, deep work blocks, breathwork and sleep routines. 

Because the writing habit is built in the margins of your whole life – not just the moments when you're holding an instrument.

Look, I’m not some songwriting Guru...

Sure… some of my songs have hit the Billboard charts.

But the bigger reason why you want to listen to what I have to say is…

As an A&R manager, I’ve worked alongside a long list of songwriters whose work has shaped entire genres.

I’ve sat in the rooms with them and watched them work.

…produced their demos.

…given feedback on their songs.

…picked their brains.

…studied their process.

I know what moved a song forward, what killed it and why.

I’ve seen what it took to write songs that made it all the way to the Grammys.

And I've distilled all of it into frameworks, methods, lessons and insights that help you write your best work on purpose.

Cuesheet is where that starts. Free. No friction.
