Rhymestash: Lyric Writer

Rhymes that start at the stressed vowel, about 52,000 offline words, lyric-sheet PDFs, library backup and Shortcuts actions. One purchase, no subscription.

Find the rhyme that fits, count every syllable and keep every take — offline, on iPhone and iPad.

NEW IN 5.0 • Corrected rhymes: perfect rhymes now start at the stressed vowel, so “happy” pairs with “snappy” and “unhappy”, not “see” or “city”. Near, slant and multi rhymes follow clear, consistent rules, explained in About. • About 52,000 words: the common-word dictionary is joined by about 42,600 further CMUdict words and their inflections, plus contractions such as don't, we're and gonna. Common words are listed first. • Multi-syllable rhymes: vowel-matched multis such as money / study and station / basin. • Lyric sheet export: share the Lyric Pad as text or a PDF with each line's syllable count and rhyme-scheme letter. • Library backup & restore: one file with your songs, the Lyric Pad, Verse Cuts and favorite words. Restoring adds to your library and never overwrites it. • Shortcuts actions: Find Rhymes and Count Syllables. • Accurate counts with curly apostrophes: “don’t” counts as one syllable everywhere, and saved songs are recounted.

RHYMES AND SOUNDS Perfect, near, slant, assonance and multi-syllable rhymes, plus homophones, sound-alikes, consonance and alliteration, each with syllable counts and a syllable filter.

LYRIC PAD Live syllable counts for every line, a syllable goal, rhyme-scheme letters and a rhyme map, rhymes for any line's last word, and saved songs.

VERSE LAB AND VERSE CUTS Verse Lab shows dictionary stress for each line, syllable balance and internal rhymes. Verse Cuts keeps up to eight takes per line with your notes and spoken counts, so you can choose the version you like and share it. Your starting line stays intact.

WHAT TO KNOW Pronunciations come from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary (North American English, first listed pronunciation), so your accent or delivery may differ. Words outside the dictionary are estimated from spelling, and numerals are not counted. Counts and rhyme types are writing tools, not quality scores. Rhymestash never generates lyrics.

EVERYTHING INCLUDED One purchase. No subscription, account, ads or tracking. Your writing stays on your device unless you share or export it.
