What Lyrist is

Lyrist puts two things songwriters use together: a search for instrumental beats in a particular style and assistance writing words over them. It runs on iOS, Android and the web, so drafts started on a phone can continue elsewhere.

What you can do with it

  • Search for beats in a style you want
  • Write lyrics while listening
  • Get rhyme suggestions mid-writing
  • Move between phone, tablet and browser
  • Keep song drafts in one place

Who it is for

  • Rap writers and songwriters
  • Producers writing toplines
  • People practising lyric craft

What to watch out for

  • Beat licences differ per track, so check what a beat allows before publishing over it
  • Free tiers usually mean limited exports; confirm current limits
  • Generated lyrics need originality checks before release
  • Export options should be tested early so drafts are not trapped in the app

Pros & cons

  • Export limits on the free tier
