What you can do in Lyricpad on the web
Idea Inbox
Drop a raw lyric, hook or rhyme in seconds with a tag and a live syllable count, then search and filter the whole pile by tag.
Songs with labelled sections
Intro, verse, chorus, hook, bridge and outro blocks you can reorder, each one showing the syllable count of every single line plus the section total.
Live syllable counter
The same vowel-cluster estimator the iPhone app ships, per line and per section, so matching lines actually land on the same bar.
Hook Vault
Flick a switch on any idea and your strongest lines live apart from the noise — searchable, tagged, never buried under a hundred drafts.
Offline rhyme helper
A bundled phonetic word list answers instantly from the idea screen, the section editor or its own tab — no network request, no latency, no ads.
Idea to song in two taps
Send any inbox line straight into a chosen section of a chosen song, and watch that song's line, word and syllable totals move.

Questions
Is the web version of Lyricpad free?+
Yes. Every screen is free to use: no subscription, no in-app purchases, no account.
Do I need an account?+
No. Open Lyricpad and start using it right away. Sign in with Google only if you want to upvote an app, save it to your list, or leave a comment.
Where is my data stored?+
Only in this browser's local storage. Nothing you enter is sent to our servers, so we can't see it, back it up, or restore it. Clearing site data, a private window, or another device starts empty. Export a backup from the in-app menu to keep it.
Is there a Lyricpad app for iPhone or Android?+
Not yet. Lyricpad is a community proposal: the browser version is complete, and we build the iPhone and Android app once 100 people upvote it. Upvoters get one email when it ships.
