From brief to pitch folder
in under a minute.

Pitchkit does the heavy lifting, you just review the matches and hit send.

1

Connect your catalog

Point Pitchkit at your music folder once. It indexes everything automatically, BPM, key, mood, energy, and your lyrics if you have them.

2

Paste any brief

Copy-paste the brief directly, sync brief, A&R direction, artist references, vibe description, whatever you got. Pitchkit understands natural language.

3

Review and pitch

See your top matches ranked by fit. Select the ones you want, create a pitch folder with one click, and upload it to Disco or send wherever you need.

Everything a working songwriter
actually needs.

AI Brief Matching

Understands artist references, genre keywords, mood descriptors, BPM targets, and themes. Matches like a human A&R, but in seconds.

Full Catalog Indexing

Analyzes BPM, key, energy, brightness, and danceability from your audio files. Transcribes lyrics via AI for theme matching.

One-Click Pitch Folders

Select your matches, name the folder, and Pitchkit copies the files, properly named with artist and title, ready to upload anywhere.

Runs Locally. Your Files Stay Yours.

Everything runs on your Mac. No cloud upload, no subscription, no access to your music by anyone else. Ever.

Search by Similar Artist

Type "songs like Dua Lipa" or "in the vein of Hans Zimmer" and Pitchkit finds your best matches. Works with any artist reference, genre name, or vibe description.

Clean Results, No Clutter

Duplicate tracks are automatically filtered out, so you always see one clean result per song, no sifting through repeat entries.

Primary Recordings Only

TV mixes, acapellas, and alternate versions stay hidden so you're always pitching the right asset, not a stem or a cut-down.

Don’t take my word for it.
Run it on your own catalog.

Pitchkit is a small, independent tool. Rather than ask you to trust a wall of quotes, the free trial gives you the real thing on your real songs.

30 songs
indexed free, with every feature working. Not a watermarked demo and not a countdown, the actual app on your actual catalog.
14 days
to change your mind after buying. One email, full refund, no questions. If it didn’t fit your workflow, I’d rather know.
0 bytes
of your music leave your Mac. No servers, no account, no telemetry, there is nothing to trust me with in the first place.

I built Pitchkit because I write for sync and my own catalog got past the point where I could hold it in my head. I’d finish a brief, send four songs, and remember the right one a week later. That is the entire reason this exists.

It does one job. It doesn’t host your catalog, share links with supervisors, or find you briefs, the comparison page is honest about where Disco or Songspace is the better answer.

Questions

Is there a free trial?
Yes, the whole app, capped at 30 indexed songs. Every feature works on them: brief matching, artist references, Whisper lyric transcription, pitch folders. No account, no card, no expiry, not a crippled demo. The $39 licence removes the cap and unlocks the songs already on your Mac, nothing to reinstall.
What audio formats does Pitchkit support?
MP3, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, and M4A. If it's in your catalog folder, Pitchkit will index it.
Do I need to tag my files or add metadata first?
Nope. Pitchkit reads the audio directly and figures out BPM, key, energy, and mood on its own. If your files have ID3 tags, it'll use those too, but it's not required.
How does the brief matching actually work?
Two halves. First, Pitchkit listens to every song and works out its BPM, key, energy, mood and, if you turn on transcription, its lyrics, all without you tagging anything. Then it parses your brief for tempo ranges, genres, moods, themes and artist references, and scores your catalog against them. Tempo is honored precisely: ask for 110–125 BPM and songs in that window rank up, songs far outside it rank down. Artist references are where the AI comes in, add an API key in Setup and “something like Phoebe Bridgers” is translated into real musical characteristics before matching. Without a key it falls back to a built-in list of about 200 artists.
Does my music get uploaded anywhere?
Never. Pitchkit runs entirely on your Mac. Your audio files are analyzed locally and never transmitted anywhere. We don't have servers, accounts, or any access to your catalog.
How big can my catalog be?
There's no hard limit. Pitchkit has been tested with catalogs of 1,000+ songs. Initial indexing takes a few hours on a large catalog; after that, matching is instant.
Is this only for sync pitching?
Not at all. It works for any kind of brief, sync, label A&R, artist co-write pitches, playlist pitching, anything. If someone gave you a description of what they're looking for, Pitchkit can match against it.
Can I see it before I download anything?
Yes. The See a real example page walks through the whole workflow with real screenshots and a short demo video, and the download itself runs every feature on your first 30 songs before any payment. Email musicpitchkit@gmail.com within 14 days and you'll get a full refund.
Do I need an internet connection?
Only for the initial download and for occasional updates. Once installed, Pitchkit runs entirely offline, indexing, brief matching, lyric transcription all happen locally on your Mac.
What exactly do I download, and how do I install it?
A zip containing Pitchkit.app. Drag it to Applications and open it like any other Mac app, it lives in your Dock and its window opens in your browser, running locally on your machine. First launch takes about a minute while it sets itself up, and needs Python 3, which recent macOS versions offer to install for you. Because it isn't sold through the App Store, macOS asks you to right-click → Open once. It never writes to your music files. Full requirements and install guide →
Apple Silicon and Intel both supported?
Yes, both, M1/M2/M3/M4 and Intel, on macOS 11 or later. To be straight about what it is: Pitchkit is a real .app you drag to Applications, but it isn't sold through the Mac App Store and isn't notarised, so macOS asks you to right-click → Open the first time. Its window opens in your browser, running locally on your Mac. It needs Python 3, which recent macOS versions offer to install for you. Full requirements and install steps →
