Highnote is a music collaboration service built around private spaces for artists and communities. Members can upload tracks and exchange feedback through timestamped or voice comments, replies, and audio polls. It accepts MP3, WAV, AIF, and MP4 files, with folders and nested versions to help organize and compare work. Sharing settings let users control downloads, uploads, and timestamped comments for collaborators or link recipients; links can also require a password. Projects can include Dropbox, Google Docs, reference playlists, and other external content. Highnote says music stays private unless shared, and all plans include lossless, gapless browser playback. The service is available on web, Android, and iOS. Its Starter plan is free and allows 15 total tracks, 50GB of cloud storage, and unlimited shared spaces. Indie costs $4.99/mo and includes 500 tracks and 1TB; Studio costs $19.99/mo and includes unlimited tracks and 5TB.
Who it is for
Highnote suits artists, producers, songwriters, engineers, and labels that need private spaces to share music and gather feedback. It may also fit teams organizing versions and controlling how collaborators access tracks.
