Tully: Music Creation and Distribution App

Tully is an all-in-one music workspace by Vertical Craft that lets recording artists and songwriters write lyrics, capture ideas, manage their catalog, and distribute finished tracks to streaming platforms without leaving the app. First released in late 2017, it positions itself as a hub covering the entire creative cycle, from a lyrics editor with rhyming help to secure cloud storage for masters and tools for contracts and split-sheet agreements. The app is free to download and shows no ads, but the full toolset sits behind a subscription starting at $9.95 a month, an important detail when comparing it with more specialized single-purpose tools.

Beyond writing and recording, the app acts as a business back office for independent musicians. You can store masters and media files in a secure cloud server, share projects with collaborators, manage audio metadata, and push releases to all major streaming platforms. It also offers free premium beats for songwriting, voice recording and mixing for song ideas, and a claimed route to opportunities with established artists. With roughly 500,000 installs, it has real reach, although its current user rating of 2.86 across about 3,500 ratings suggests the experience does not satisfy everyone.

Version 6.1.0, released in September 2026, focuses on songwriting assistance. A new AI Notepad is built directly into the lyrics editor, offering suggestions, rewrites, expansions, shortening, and tone changes for any line. It adds a rhyme finder, ghost text that predicts the next line as you type, and an AI that learns your personal style from your own lyrics. A built-in copyright check runs before you commit to a line, and AI credits are included, with top-ups and an AI Unlimited option for heavier use. This update makes the writing side of Tully notably stronger than before.

Version 6.1.0 introduces AI Notepad, a songwriting assistant that lives directly in the lyrics editor. It can suggest, rewrite, expand, shorten, or retone any line, and includes a rhyme finder plus ghost text that predicts your next line as you type. The AI personalizes itself to your writing style and offers a built-in copyright check before you settle on a line. AI Credits are included, with top-ups and an AI Unlimited option available for heavier use.

Recording artists and songwriters who want one tool for writing, managing, and releasing music; independent musicians handling distribution and business paperwork themselves; and small collaborative teams that need shared file storage and split agreements in a single place.

Before committing to a monthly subscription, test the free version with a real project: record a song idea, write lyrics with the AI Notepad, and check the storage and sharing workflows to see whether the all-in-one approach fits how you already work.

Tully is an ambitious all-in-one companion for artists, and the new AI Notepad makes its songwriting side genuinely appealing for independent creators. The broad feature set is impressive on paper, but the modest user rating and extensive permission requests mean you should try it hands-on and compare it with specialized tools before subscribing.
