Connect Your Music Folder

Point Pitchkit at the folder where your music lives. We'll scan it for songs and build your searchable catalog automatically.

{{ error }}

Prefer to type the path?
In Finder, right-click your music folder, hold Option, choose "Copy as Pathname".

Optional: turn on the AI features

Pitchkit works fully without these. Each one makes matching noticeably better, and both have free tiers.

Artist references {% if has_anthropic %}On{% else %}Off{% endif %}

{% if has_anthropic %} Briefs saying “something like Phoebe Bridgers” are looked up and translated into real musical characteristics before matching — any artist, not just well-known ones. {% else %} Right now Pitchkit recognises about 200 well-known artists. Add an Anthropic key and it can look up any artist named in a brief and turn it into BPM range, energy, mood and genre before matching. This is the single biggest upgrade to match quality. {% endif %}

Smarter song tagging {% if has_gemini %}On{% else %}Off{% endif %}

{% if has_gemini %} Your songs are being tagged with AI-generated genre, mood and theme tags instead of the built-in heuristics. {% else %} Without a key, genre and mood tags come from BPM and energy heuristics — workable, but blunt. A Gemini key produces far more accurate tags, which is what most matching scores against. Free tier covers hundreds of songs. {% endif %}

Keys are stored on this Mac only, in Pitchkit’s config file. Your audio is never sent anywhere — only an artist name, and only when a brief mentions one.

Licence

{% if request.args.get('lic') == 'ok' %}

Unlocked. Your full catalog is being indexed now.

{% elif request.args.get('lic') == 'bad' %}

That key doesn’t match that email address. Use the same email you bought with, and paste the key exactly as it appears on your receipt.

{% elif request.args.get('lic') == 'removed' %}

Licence removed from this Mac.

{% endif %}

{% if lic.licensed %}Full version{% else %}Free version{% endif %}

{% if lic.licensed %}Unlocked{% else %}{{ lic.free_limit }}-song limit{% endif %}
{% if lic.licensed %}

Licensed to {{ lic.license_email }}. Unlimited catalog size, and every future update is included.

{% else %}

The free version indexes your first {{ lic.free_limit }} songs. Everything else works normally — brief matching, artist references, lyric transcription, pitch folders. A one-time $49 licence removes the cap.
