## Description

Some songs arrive fully formed. Most don't. They come in fragments such as a melody hummed into a phone, a chord progression captured at midnight, a lyric that needs to be caught before it disappears.

Gorse & Quill is built for the way songs are actually written.

A free companion app for songwriters, Gorse & Quill keeps your voice notes and recordings organised by song. Not by date, not by file name, but by the song they belong to. So when you come back to a half-finished idea three weeks later, everything is exactly where you left it.

PAIR WITH YOUR SONGWRITER'S LEDGER
Gorse & Quill works seamlessly alongside the physical Gorse & Quill Songwriter's Ledger (sold separately). Every song spread in the Ledger carries a unique QR code. Scan it with the app and you're taken directly to that song's recording folder. No searching, no renaming files, no losing the thread.

CAPTURE EVERY IDEA
Record voice notes, demos and ideas directly within each song. Trim recordings, rename them, reorder them. Nothing gets lost.

USE IT YOUR WAY
No Ledger? No problem. The On the Go folder is always there for ideas that can't wait. Record first, organise later.

TUNE UP, KEEP TIME
A built-in chromatic tuner supports guitar, banjo, mandolin, ukulele and more, with a range of popular tunings so you can see the notes for every string at a glance. The metronome keeps you honest when you need it.

YOURS, PRIVATELY
Your recordings never leave your device unless you choose to back them up. No accounts, no subscriptions, no cloud.

Gorse & Quill. For songs that deserve to be finished.
