Music publishing catalog management
Find the right song in seconds.
Catalyst is a calm, fast home for your catalog. Search every song by BPM, key, writer or status, play it on a player your team will love, share it with A&R in one link, and keep writers and splits right.

01 · Find
Every song, seconds away.
Filter thousands of songs by tempo, key, writer, status and version, and the list narrows as you click. Save any view to your sidebar; it stays live as the catalog grows.
- BPM and key are detected from the audio. Type over them and your value wins.
- ⌘K jumps to any song, writer or playlist. j, k and Enter move through lists without the mouse.
- Songs whose splits don't add up are flagged, so you can find and fix them.

02 · Listen
A player worth pressing play on.
Every version of every song, from the first work tape to the master, plays the moment you click and keeps playing while you move around Catalyst.
- Scrub the waveform to the chorus. Queue up a run of songs.
- Playlists hold the exact recording you mean: the demo, not the master, or both.
- Space, arrows and brackets: the player answers to the keyboard.
03 · Intake
Songs arrive by email. Catalyst does the typing.
Give your writers one address. Catalyst reads every delivery, pulls out the title, writers, splits, lyrics and audio, and lines it up for review. AI proposes; your team decides.

Matches who you know
Writers already in your catalog are matched by name or email; names it isn't sure of are flagged, never invented.
Shows its confidence
Every proposed field carries a confidence, and the shaky ones are highlighted.
Waits for a human
Nothing reaches the catalog until someone on your team approves it.
04 · Keep accurate
Splits, publishers, PROs. Right, and kept right.
Writers, shares, publishers, PRO and IPI numbers, controlled shares and territory exclusions live with the song, not in a spreadsheet someone forgot to update.
- Splits that don't total 100% are saved and flagged, never blocked.
- One work, many versions: work tapes, demos and masters each keep their own BPM, key and files.
- Edits save as you type, and every one is recorded with its before and after.

Built for unreleased music
Your catalog is confidential. Catalyst treats it that way.
BPM and key detection runs on Catalyst's own infrastructure, so unreleased audio stays with us and with you.
Private by default
Each workspace is isolated at the database level. Audio sits in private storage and plays through short-lived links.
Originals untouched
Uploaded files are never modified. Streaming copies and waveforms are made alongside them, never instead of them.
Every change recorded
Who changed what, and when, with the value before and after, for every field on every song.
AI proposes, you decide
AI drafts and fills in blanks. It never overwrites what someone on your team entered.

Shipping steadily.
