Catch it
before it's
gone.

A sound on the subway. A hook you hummed in the car. The color of the sky at the pier. Inspo Box keeps every spark in one place — and remembers exactly which part grabbed you — so it's all there when you sit down to write.

Capture

Six ways to catch it.

Capture it on the spot with your phone, or upload from your camera roll or computer. One tap on Add Inspo and you're rolling.

    Instruments, found sound, the room around you

  • Voice

    Hums, melodies, half-ideas in the car

  • Video

    A drummer in the park, a light you can't forget

  • Image

    Colors, textures, covers, places

    Lyrics, phrases, something overheard

    Spotify, SoundCloud and YouTube references

Mark the moment

Not just the clip.
The part that hit.

Drag across the waveform to mark the seconds that matter and leave yourself a note. Box the corner of a photo. Pin the exact second of a SoundCloud or YouTube track. Next time, one tap plays just that part.

Sunset over the pier. Just that glow — the whole mood of the single.

Organize

Filed the second you save it.

Everything lands in Recents and sorts itself by type. Make folders for a song, a session or a vibe. Name it, color it, move it, duplicate it — and find anything in seconds when the session starts.

Mood boards

Build the world of the song.

Pin sounds, clips, photos and lyrics side by side — from what you've saved, or capture something new right onto the board.

“dancing in the parking lot at 3am”
