What Nitesong is
Nitesong is a web-based songwriting app for writing, organizing, and finishing songs. Its editors cover lyrics, chord progressions, guitar tablature, drum sequencing, and piano roll. Other tools include a scale fretboard, playable keyboard, circle of fifths, guitar tuner, metronome, notes, and chat. Songs can be tagged, grouped into projects, and moved through Idea, Draft, In Progress, and Finished columns. Users can invite collaborators as owners or editors for a song or project; song chat supports real-time messages and @mentions, and activity feeds show changes over time. MP3 and WAV recordings can be attached as references, while drum patterns can be exported as MIDI files for use in a DAW. The Free plan includes three songs and all five notation editors without requiring a credit card. Pro costs $9 a month and Cloud costs $14 a month. Plans are billed monthly through Stripe, and users can cancel anytime without fees.
