Lyrist

Lyrist is a songwriting app designed to help creatives write lyrics while listening to instrumental beats. It integrates YouTube and SoundCloud directly into the writing interface, so users can search for and play beats without leaving the app. Built-in creative tools include a rhyming dictionary, phrase finder, and thesaurus, all accessible within the same workspace. Smart suggestions provide inspiration when you're stuck, and features like folders, unlimited pages, and cross-device sync keep your projects organized and available anywhere. A timed writing mode challenges you to write quickly, helping to overcome writer's block. Lyrist is geared toward musicians, poets, and anyone who wants to write to music in a seamless, distraction-free environment.
