v2.1.0•October 2026

A tidier brief page

  • FixedA tempo Locker cannot believe (below 30 or above 300 BPM) is no longer saved. You see a plain message instead, and a few impossible tempos already saved are cleared.
  • FixedBig catalogues no longer hit errors on screens that look up many tracks at once, such as playlists, contacts and track notes.
  • FixedSpace presses the focused button again, instead of always playing or pausing the track.
  • FixedYou can add "Pre" (and V, Ch or Br) as your own section word in the Writing Room, so it reads as a heading on its own line.
  • FixedThe results box under Kii's answer now matches what Kii says: follow-up questions stay on the tracks it just listed, two lookups show together, and catalogue checks count your own tracks.
  • FixedConnecting Dropbox or Google Drive from a phone browser now works, instead of stopping at "Popup blocked".
  • NewTasks a team can work from: give a task a due date, a craft (Mix, Vocals, Production, Lyrics, Admin), notes, and the exact recording and moment it is about. Anything due today is always on your Today list.
  • NewGive a task to someone already on the track. It goes on their list, they get told, and you hear when it is done.
  • NewTicking off a task made from a comment now resolves the comment too, and resolving the comment ticks the task. Undo brings both back.
  • ImprovedThe Tasks page is simpler: Today, All and Done. Tasks you gave people and dated checklist items from your projects are on it too, and a task opens its own panel with everything about it.
  • NewEvery track has a Tasks box beside its notes and comments, and New task is in the New menu and the phone's plus button.
  • NewTurn any comment into a task: Make a task now sits beside Reply and Resolve on comments on your tracks, versions, share links and rooms. Once it is on your list the comment says In Tasks, so it is never added twice.
  • ImprovedThe Sessions page now keeps sessions that still need a track in one strip at the top, where you can sort them five at a time, and shows how many bounces in your folders are not in Locker yet with a button to review them.
  • NewSessions now shows the stage a track is at from your save names, like Sent to mix or Stems printed, and the trip or writing camp it was made on from your folder names, with a Trip filter.
  • ImprovedYou can now tap a mark on the Sessions timeline to see what happened and open that session, and the timeline works on your phone too.
  • ImprovedEach request on a brief now sorts its tracks into three tabs: To review, Ready to send and Set aside. Setting a track aside moves it out of the way, with an Undo.
  • ImprovedEvery suggested track on a brief now says where it came from, such as Found by Locker or Kii suggested.
  • ImprovedBrief tracks are simpler: no tags, a quieter version name, and track names stay readable with the side panel open. The brief's original document now lives in the side panel, and the header has one Send button.
v2.0.0•September 2026

Locker listens to the whole song

  • FixedInsights and Analytics now shows your real counts of lyrics, voice notes, stems and files instead of 0, leaves trashed contacts out, counts female, male and mixed vocals as vocal, keeps one row per status however it was typed, ignores impossible tempos, and no longer says everything is analyzed when it is not.
  • ImprovedIn Import to Locker, Artist or Pitch and the artist's name are now one button, the same as in a track's details. The close button no longer sits on top of Upload, and the Set all and sort controls only appear once you have more than one track.
  • ImprovedImport to Locker is easier to read: the main button says what will happen, a stray picture no longer holds up your tracks, a lyric sheet named like a track goes onto that track, instrumentals and a cappellas are labelled, and empty details fold away until you want them.
  • NewChoose what Home shows: press Edit home to swap any card for Shared with me, Comments waiting, Ideas, Projects, Files waiting or Connections, or drag them into your own order. Home also tells you when Dropbox, Google Drive or a Mac folder stops syncing.
  • NewLocker now opens on Home: six cards showing your day, your music, what's new, who listened, your briefs and what Kii noticed, with one line for anything waiting on your answer. Notifications live there now, so the bell is gone.
  • ImprovedSigning up with email now takes you straight into Locker. Confirm your email when it suits you: until then you can upload, organise and use Kii, and sharing with or inviting other people waits for the confirmation.
  • NewUsing Locker in Chrome, Firefox or Edge on your iPhone? A small bar now points you to the Locker iPhone app. Close it once and it stays closed.
  • FixedThe download page on an iPhone now offers the iPhone app, instead of the Mac download.
  • FixedA room link sent in WhatsApp, iMessage or Slack now shows a proper preview card, like a track link does.
  • FixedWhen someone cannot play a track you shared, you are now told, so you can fix the link.
  • FixedA stem pack link now plays the stems of that track only.
  • FixedChanging your password now asks for the same as signing up: at least 10 characters, with a capital, a small letter and a number.
  • FixedCollaborator lists show people by their name, never their email address.
  • FixedAn invite to a shared locker now works even when the email was typed with different capital letters.
  • FixedSomeone you made an editor of your locker can now add versions to your tracks and comment on your projects, as an editor should.
  • FixedAdding someone to a room without an email address now tells you they were not sent an invite.
  • FixedManaging who has a presentation or a lyric sheet from Shares now opens its own sharing window, not a track's.
  • FixedA room no longer shows tracks from a playlist or project you have moved to the trash, and a shared folder no longer lists anything in the trash.
  • FixedDropbox and Google Drive no longer ask you to reconnect when the service is briefly down.
  • FixedLyric documents are read again after a service outage instead of being given up.
  • FixedNew files in a watched folder are offered even when one was already waiting.
  • FixedReplacing or deleting a picture no longer removes artwork another track still uses.
  • FixedRemoving one imported document no longer breaks another import of the same file.
  • FixedThe desktop uploader's open in Locker link opens the track.
  • FixedInsights now counts your lyrics, voice notes, stems and files in a large catalogue too, instead of showing 0.
  • FixedThe playlists list now counts each playlist's tracks the same way the open playlist does.
  • FixedIf your playlists, contacts or tasks cannot load, Locker now says so with a Try again button, instead of saying you have none.
  • FixedTurning a kind of notification off for the bell now keeps it out of the bell.
  • FixedUnsubscribing from Locker's emails now stops the rest of an email series straight away.
  • FixedA sharing email about a brief, a lyric or a link now opens that brief, lyric or link, instead of your catalogue, and a guest reply email opens the comment.
  • FixedScanning a connected Dropbox, Google Drive or folder now shows one notice that updates as it goes, instead of a pile of them.
  • FixedApplying a brand kit to all your links now shows on an open link straight away.
  • ImprovedRooms are called Rooms everywhere in Locker now, in every language.
  • FixedVoice notes read fully in Korean again.
  • FixedOn a phone, the bar that appears when you select things no longer shows buttons that do nothing.
  • ImprovedOn a phone, a track's voice notes offer Record only, as everywhere else on a phone.
  • FixedOn a phone, a confirm sheet can no longer be swiped away by accident: choose the action or Cancel.
  • FixedSign in with Apple now works on older versions of the iPhone app too.
  • FixedEvery version of a track now shows its own waveform, and a track's versions are listed in the same order everywhere.
  • FixedA full page of tracks now shows its video, voice note, lyric and stem counts, instead of 0.
  • FixedFiling tracks into a folder by dragging, uploading or Add existing now shows in History and can be undone.
  • FixedAdding a track from someone else's playlist to your Locker now swaps that playlist entry for your own copy.
  • FixedWriter splits are now checked the same way everywhere: only writers count toward 100%.
  • FixedA track's writer list no longer drops someone when two writers are credited at the same moment.
  • FixedAn import that did not finish no longer sends a moved-to-trash notice. History says the import cleaned it up.
  • FixedImporting files no longer credits a different person when two names in the files look alike.
  • FixedRemoving a tag from a large library no longer stalls part way.
  • ImprovedExported .lkr files now carry each version's tempo, key, genre, mood and instruments.
  • FixedMerging two contacts now moves their room passes and the nicknames you taught Locker to the contact you keep. Deleting a contact for good removes its nicknames.
  • ImprovedOn a phone, the + button on Contacts can now make a contact group.
  • FixedOpening a shared project from the projects list now opens it.
  • FixedA track added to a project now lands in a section you can see, from the app and from Kii.
  • FixedA project now says Saved once, not twice.
  • ImprovedOn a phone, a project block's collapse and options buttons are bigger and easier to tap.
  • FixedSuggested tasks no longer repeat the track's name on the second line.
  • FixedTask suggestions skip tracks named as tests, and Not this one on a library-wide suggestion now holds until more arrive.
  • FixedAn idea you edit after deleting it in another window is no longer saved into the Trash unseen: Locker says so and offers to keep your words as a new idea.
  • FixedYour Ideas list now shows and counts only your own lyric sheets.
  • FixedStems added from a track's Stems section now get their previews and WAV download straight away, without pressing Retry Processing.
  • FixedNewly analysed tracks with synths are no longer filed as acoustic, so they can match electronic briefs.
  • ImprovedBrief matching now treats Ab and G# as the same key, and gives some credit to the relative key.
  • FixedThe first brief match after a quiet spell is more likely to compare sound, because Locker now wakes its listening engine properly.
  • FixedFind Similar's one-line reasons no longer call a style word rare just because few people use it.
  • ImprovedSearch by feel now says how many of your lyric sheets it could search, instead of answering as if it had searched them all.
  • ImprovedMore of the Writing Room is now in Spanish and Korean: the chord strip, key and tempo controls, and version history.
  • FixedA website plan you have cancelled now says the date it ends, instead of saying it renews.
  • FixedBringing a track or version back from the trash when your free locker is full now says why it cannot come back yet, instead of showing an error code.
  • FixedA track you already brought in from Dropbox or Google Drive is no longer offered to you again on the next scan.
  • FixedA track in a connected folder is no longer skipped just because its file name has no clear title.
  • ImprovedWhen you connect an AI app, the approval screen now shows which Locker account it will reach, with a way to switch account first.
  • FixedThe uploader now shows a track's own title, so "TheMoney" no longer appears as "themoney" and a name like "b3" is no longer split apart.
  • FixedArtwork and lyric files dropped in with your music now attach to their track when the title has more than one word.
  • FixedThe upload tray only offers Retry where a retry can actually run.
  • FixedA connected AI app pauses if your plan changes to one that does not include connections, and works again when you upgrade.
  • FixedA brief's "How this was judged" line now says how many of your tracks Locker has listened to so far, instead of "sound compared on 1 of 11".
  • FixedAudio you attach to a brief's reference now stays attached after you edit the brief, so it keeps helping find matches.
  • FixedOn a large catalogue, a brief's reference audio is now compared with every recording, not only the closest thousand.
  • FixedOpening a reference player on a brief or in a note now pauses whatever else is playing, and only one reference plays at a time.
  • FixedPressing Find matches on a brief now shows as your own action in History.
  • FixedBrief lists, a brief's links and the pitch record no longer stop at a fixed number of rows.
  • FixedMaking a new room while adding tracks to a room now puts the tracks you picked in it, instead of making an empty room.
  • FixedIf a track was shared with you to edit, Kii can now change its notes, a version's tempo and key, its voice notes, lyric sheets and credit roles, as you can in Locker.
  • ImprovedWhen Kii rewrites a project's notes, list, sheet, links or schedule, a track's notes or a project's details, you can undo it from History and get back exactly what was there.
  • NewKii can now change the tags on one request in a brief, such as its genre, mood, voice or tempo, and they count as yours when tracks are matched.
  • ImprovedKii can now tell you which links you sent for a brief, and which brief a link was for.
  • NewFinding duplicates now also finds the same recording saved under different names.
  • FixedKii's reading of what a lyric is about now follows your sections as the Writing Room shows them, and never counts a heading like "Chorus" as a lyric.
  • ImprovedYour taste rankings now count the people who listened to a track to the end on your links, and settings say how many of your marks could be used.
  • ImprovedWhat Kii remembers now shows the offers you turned down, so you can clear them.
  • FixedEmails about a room now open that room, not the list of rooms.
  • FixedA new library with no tracks yet is no longer called complete. Kii welcomes you and offers to help add your first music instead.
  • ImprovedHow complete your catalogue is now counts what you have decided about each track (its status, credits, splits, lyrics and version roles) as much as what Locker has heard in the audio.
  • FixedKii no longer tells you only the owner can change a track that was shared with you to edit.
  • FixedWhen Kii deletes a track folder, the folder and what is in it go to the Trash, as they do in Locker, so you can restore them.
  • FixedKii now asks before accepting a suggestion that could change credits or splits, and runs a catalogue clean-up preview without asking.
  • NewKii can now list your contact groups and tell you who is in one.
  • FixedKii's overview of a track now includes the playlists it is on and its share links, and a playlist entry set to one version shows that version's tempo and key.
  • FixedA roster link with a password or an email ask now stays locked until the right password or email is given, like every other share link.
  • FixedA share link with a password or an email ask no longer shows its title, note or track list before the right password or email is given. Only your name and brand show on the lock screen.
  • ImprovedOnce Kii has read something another person wrote, like a comment, a brief or a shared document, it now shows you a card before making any change, so words in someone else's message can never make changes for you. Connected AI apps do the same.
  • FixedWhen you share a track and set a section such as Lyrics, Versions or Stems to None for someone, it is now hidden from them completely, not just locked: they cannot see, play or download it, and links they make cannot show it. Anything they added themselves stays theirs.
  • FixedWhen you move a track, a version or anything else on a track to the trash, the people you shared it with can no longer play, see or download it, and your links stop showing it. Editors still see it in your trash, and it all comes back if you restore it.
  • ImprovedA WAV and an MP3 of the same bounce show as one version everywhere: the Tracks page count, the version menu on each track and playlist entry (one entry with a badge for each format), project blocks, and Kii, which now says "one version, in WAV and MP3".
  • ImprovedA WAV whose MP3 is already in Locker now plays straight away, streaming through that MP3 instead of waiting for a new copy to be made.
  • ImprovedA WAV and an MP3 of the same bounce now share one analysis, so it only uses one credit. Any tempo, key or tag you set yourself is kept.
  • ImprovedA WAV and an MP3 of the same bounce now land on one track as one version, however they arrive. Dropbox and Google Drive no longer make two tracks of one bounce, and on the Free plan your first import offers to add your WAV masters afterwards when they fit.
  • FixedOn the Free plan, a WAV and an MP3 of the same bounce now count as one version, so sending both from your DAW, the uploader or Kii keeps both instead of turning the second away.
  • FixedListens on a password or email link now count only from people who unlocked it, links you have turned off or that have run out no longer collect listens, and a name a listener types is no longer linked to one of your contacts until you link it yourself.
  • NewVisiting Locker in Safari on an iPhone now offers to open the Locker app, or get it if you do not have it yet. Links you send to other people stay on the web.
  • ImprovedWhere a track lives (its playlists, projects, briefs and links) is now a tidy box at the bottom of the track panel, folded like the others, and it tells you at a glance what is inside.
  • FixedThe Sessions timeline now counts every track, so All time really starts at your first session, and the totals stay the same as you scroll. Choose 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or All time instead of using a slider.
  • ImprovedA session's panel now starts with where it lives: the folder you connected, then each folder down to the session, with Copy path, and Show in Finder in Locker for Mac.
  • NewA track's share page now tells you what each person did on each visit, like who listened all the way through, where someone stopped and who opened it but never pressed play, with a short summary at the top. Several links for one track are named and show what each one holds and who it reached, and your own plays are hidden.
  • NewEvery track now shows where it lives: its playlists, projects, briefs and links, each one tap away, with one button to add it somewhere new. Add to project now works on your phone too.
  • ImprovedMoving tracks, playlists, projects, contacts and ideas to the Trash no longer asks "are you sure?": it happens straight away, and the message that follows has an Undo button that puts everything back where it was.
  • FixedUndo in History now says plainly when something could not be put back, instead of saying it worked.
  • FixedA save that Locker refused now shows an error, instead of looking like it worked.
  • FixedA slow connection can no longer create a link, send an invite or send a brief twice.
  • FixedUploading more tracks than your plan holds now adds the ones that fit, in order, and tells you which are waiting, instead of stopping the whole upload.
  • FixedImporting contacts now keeps phone numbers exactly as they were written. Numbers from other countries are no longer split in the wrong places, and a local number starting with 0 is no longer turned into a UK number.
  • FixedInstagram and X links on a contact now open the right profile, whether you saved a handle or a full link.
  • FixedA block you add to a project now shows straight away, and if a project's blocks cannot load it says so with a Try again button, instead of looking empty.
  • ImprovedOn a phone, the welcome now asks for one track and opens your Files, so you can watch Locker read it straight away. Prefer a computer? It tells you where to go.
  • ImprovedClosed the welcome before adding music? An empty library now has Add your music, which brings the welcome back, on a computer and on a phone.
  • FixedConnecting Dropbox or Google Drive in the welcome now shows the audio Locker found for you to choose from, instead of waiting for tracks that never came.
  • ImprovedGet started on the website now opens the sign-up form, and the password rule on it matches what Locker accepts.
  • ImprovedA lyric that is not in a track now says "In Ideas" at the top of the Writing Room, so you always know where it is saved. Closing one you opened from Ideas no longer asks where to save it, and a new lyric offers Keep in Ideas.
  • NewLyrics and voice notes now move both ways: anything in a track you wrote or recorded can go back to Ideas with Move to Ideas, from the Writing Room or the track's menus, and anything in Ideas can still go to a track.
  • ImprovedYour daily tasks in notifications now say what each one does, and the quick ones happen right there: credit writers Locker found or the ones you usually work with, take the key, BPM or name from the file, and sort new files a few at a time.
  • FixedTapping a daily task in notifications now opens the place to fix it, instead of only offering Done.
  • FixedNotifications sit in the middle of a narrow window again, instead of against the left edge.
  • FixedEmpty Trash from the side panel in Music, Projects and Messages now asks before deleting everything for good, and so does deleting conversations from the Messages trash.
  • FixedWriting on a lyric sheet now always shows in History and tells your co-writers, even when Kii rewrites the sheet, an older version is restored, or your phone closes the app in the background.
  • FixedA page opened after your computer or phone has been asleep no longer fails to load until you refresh it.
  • FixedLinks you create in the iPhone app now open for the people you send them to.
  • NewLocker for Mac shows an update on its menu bar icon: a bar fills inside the Locker box with the percentage beside it, and a dot says it is ready.
  • FixedRestart & Update in Locker for Mac now restarts on the new version in a few seconds, instead of hiding the window and staying on the old one.
  • ImprovedIf a Locker for Mac update is interrupted, Locker offers Finish Updating the next time it opens, and it tells you when an update has landed.
  • ImprovedThe Locker for Mac download page shows which version you are getting and when it was released.
  • NewIn the Writing Room, any idea can go straight into the sheet you are writing: hold it (or drag it on a computer), choose the section, and undo if you change your mind. The pad and new-idea buttons now work on a brand-new sheet too.
  • ImprovedPanels like the track inspector now slide in smoothly on iPhone, and you can swipe anywhere on one to close it, or use a two-finger swipe on a Mac trackpad.
  • FixedLocker for Mac no longer shows a blank white window when getlocker.co double-checks your internet connection, and if Locker ever cannot load it now says why, with a Try again button.
  • ImprovedCheck for Updates in Locker for Mac now only offers a newer version, and a download shows its progress on the Dock icon and in the menu bar until it is ready to restart.
  • ImprovedOn iPhone, the keyboard and everything above it now move together: pop-ups end right at the keyboard with their buttons showing, and searches keep the box and results in view while you type.
  • ImprovedA brief you paste in now names itself after who it is for, like VIVIZ, instead of just "Brief".
  • ImprovedEach request on a brief now shows what they want beside your tracks: the parts in the sender's own words, each with a small mark, what to avoid, the references, and their full words a tap away. Find matches is now a bold button right where your tracks go, and on a phone the request folds to one line so your tracks come first.
  • FixedDeadlines with a time or time zone, like "October 6 (KST)" or "11:59pm PST", are now read as a date, and a time zone is never shown as the lyrics language.
  • FixedA brief's deadline no longer shows a day early in its panel for anyone west of the UK.
  • FixedA brief only avoids what it actually says to avoid, so "no typical EDM drops" no longer marks down every dance track for a brief that wants a danceable groove.
  • ImprovedOn your phone, tapping a track on a brief opens a clearer sheet: its artwork plays it, one row of choices decides it, the version it goes as is one tap to change, and tags and comments stay folded until there are some.
  • ImprovedOn your phone, tracks on a brief play from their artwork like everywhere else, and what came back from a pitch is one tap to choose instead of seven buttons.
  • FixedTracks without a picture no longer show a music note behind their play button on your phone.
  • ImprovedOn your phone, every track picture that plays now shows its play button, in projects, Kii, suggestions and Find Similar too, where it used to wait for a mouse to hover.
  • ImprovedOn your phone, tracks on the Sessions page play from their artwork, like on the Tracks page.
  • ImprovedLocker now calls your music tracks everywhere, instead of switching between songs and tracks from one screen to the next.
  • FixedOn your phone, the top of the Music page now names the list you are on, like Track folders, instead of always saying All Tracks.
  • ImprovedOn your phone, small buttons and chips are now easy to hit with a thumb: Kii's conversation buttons, clearing a search, a brief's references and its link, which now copies from anywhere you tap it.
  • FixedOn your phone, tapping a tag on a brief or a card now opens that card, instead of doing nothing.
  • FixedOn your phone, buttons that used to wait for a mouse to hover now show, so you can no longer tap one you cannot see, like unlinking a track from a project by accident.
  • ImprovedA brief you were sent no longer calls its sender "someone". Tap Who sent this? to pick one of your contacts or type a new name, and Kii's Save to Briefs lets you say who it is from.
  • FixedPreview on a brief's original now opens in Locker: pasted briefs show their words, PDFs and images show themselves, and the little label says Text instead of PAST.
  • ImprovedSent to me and I'm asking now say what each one means, and switching a brief asks first and tells you exactly what changes. Its tracks and notes always stay.
  • ImprovedKii shows ten results at a time, like a search on the Briefs page, with Show 10 more for the next ten. Ask for more and it shows more.
  • FixedSaving a brief from Kii now works when it does not say who sent it, and it keeps the ten tracks you were shown rather than every track the search looked at.
  • ImprovedKii's brief matches now have Save to Briefs and Add to the brief: the tracks you tick are kept on the right request, and the old Keep button that left stray copies on your brief is gone.
  • FixedSyllable counts in the lyric editor are now right on common words like "people", "going" and "radio", and match what Kii counts: both use a full pronunciation dictionary.
  • FixedKii's lyric checks no longer count section names like Chorus or [Verse 2] as lyric lines.
  • ImprovedFilling in a missing detail from one of Kii's lists now saves straight away with a tick, without sending a chat message.
  • FixedKii's catalogue gaps card now shows the real number of tracks missing each detail, not just the ten it lists.
  • FixedWhen you ask Kii about your plan and storage, it now tells paid plans their real number of tracks instead of 0.
  • NewOn your phone, make track, playlist and project folders from the New folder button at the top of each folder list, and every new folder now shows in History.
  • ImprovedOn your phone, All ideas has the lyric and record buttons, holding a voice note or lyric offers everything its menu does on a computer, a voice note plays from its microphone, and concepts no longer say No preview.
  • NewTasks now notice when you have done them. Add one of Kii's suggestions to your list, like crediting the writers on a track, and it ticks itself off as soon as the track has a writer, with a line in History you can undo.
  • NewFive tasks for today. Each day Locker picks five from your list, people waiting on you first, and shows them when you open Locker so you can tick them off right there. Finishing one does not pull in another, so a day can be finished, and Not today moves one to tomorrow.
  • ImprovedKii's suggestions on the Tasks page are one card per track or project, all of them rather than the first 30, so you can see exactly which tracks need what and add just the ones you want.
  • ImprovedClicking a task takes you straight to the fix: the track's credits, its splits, or the recording's key.
  • ImprovedThe Tasks page has filters at the top like every other page (Today, Tasks, Suggested by Kii, Comments, Done), and each task is its own card on a computer too.
  • FixedA deleted task can be brought back from History, and ticking a task off can be undone.
  • SecurityYour Dropbox and Google Drive connections are now stored encrypted, with a key kept apart from our database, so a copy of the database on its own cannot open them.
  • ImprovedEverything you keep in Locker, not only your music, is now part of our nightly off-site backup in the UK.
  • SecurityFiles you delete for good now leave our backups too, within about 45 days.
  • NewSessions is now its own page in Music: a map of where every track lives. Your Pro Tools, Logic and Ableton sessions are grouped by track, with when you last worked on each, the last twelve weeks at a glance, and the bounces that never made it into Locker. Play a track's latest bounce straight from its row, or see it all as a timeline.
  • NewChoose your projects folder once and Locker finds your sessions for you. When a session is clearly one of your tracks, because its name and the people on it agree, Locker links it and says why in History, where you can undo it. The rest wait in Needs a track with Locker's guess and the reason: link it, pick another track, say it is not that track, or mark it not a track.
  • ImprovedThe Sessions page is one list: your tracks with their artwork, and the sessions that still need a track, marked, with Locker's guess on the row. Tick several to link them to Locker's guesses or put them all on one track.
  • NewThe Sessions timeline fits your screen and a slider sets how far back it looks, from the last four weeks to everything you have made.
  • ImprovedLocker guesses which track each session belongs to as soon as it reads your folder, and links the ones it is sure about.
  • ImprovedEvery list where you choose a track now shows who wrote each one, its status and when it was made, so two tracks with the same name are easy to tell apart. Your own name comes last, so the others lead.
  • NewTell Locker a file in a session is not a bounce, like a chop or a loop, and it stops counting it for good, even when your folder is read again.
  • ImprovedRename or move a session folder on your computer and Locker follows it, keeping it on its track. A folder that is gone is marked Not in your folder instead of disappearing.
  • FixedYou can type spaces again when choosing a track for a session, and in any search box that opens from a list row.
  • NewLocker learns how you keep your sessions. When the same folder in several sessions holds audio it does not recognise, it asks if that is where you keep your bounces; say yes and it reads them as bounces from then on, say no and it leaves that folder alone. You can see and change your answers from the folders button on the Sessions page.
  • FixedParts printed inside your sessions, like chops, fills, stems and clips, no longer show up as new tracks to add. A bounce is only offered as a version of its own session's track.
  • FixedTempo and key in your file names, like "[120bpm Am]", are no longer mistaken for writers.
  • FixedWriters in your file names are read one person at a time. A bracket of names, or names joined by dashes, underscores or dots, no longer turns into one made-up person.
  • ImprovedTempo and key are read the same way wherever a file comes from, however you write them, like "Fshpmaj", "F#min", "C_min" or "78.5bpm". A naming pattern you saved for your writers now splits them into the right people too.
  • ImprovedLocker reads file names the way people really write them: an artist before the title, the people in the room joined with x or commas, a date first with the song named later, producers tagged after an underscore, and notes after "demo". Titles and writers come out right far more often, whoever named the file.
  • ImprovedAfter Locker reads one of your folders you get one notice, how many new suggestions it found, and tapping it shows just those. New since your last visit now stays until you have opened it.
  • ImprovedYour bounce folders now sit beside your naming patterns in Knowledge, under Conventions, where you can see, add or forget them.
  • NewTell Locker a folder in your sessions is not where you keep bounces, even one your DAW made, like a Bounced Files you use for stems, and it leaves everything in it out.
  • FixedA naming pattern that expects something at the end of a file name, like a version number, now works on files that end in .wav or .mp3 (it quietly never matched them).
  • NewOnce a month Locker looks at how you name your bounces, and if a pattern would tell it something it cannot read today, like the tempo and key, it asks whether to save it as your naming pattern.
  • FixedAdding a bounce from a session Locker found in your connected folder now works in the browser (it said Locker could not reach the folder).
  • ImprovedThe Sessions page shows the folders it reads in its header, with the same counts and Sync as Connections, and lets you add another folder, a drive, or a session by hand from there.
  • FixedChoosing a folder from the Sessions page now reads it the same full way as Connections, and a folder's card counts its real tracks and sessions (it counted every DAW backup as a track, and stopped at 1,000).
  • ImprovedA folder scan that stops part way now says so on its card and offers Retry, instead of saying Scanning for good.
  • ImprovedEvery session Locker finds is also a suggestion in Knowledge. When Locker has no guess it asks which track it is, and when you turn a guess down it guesses again without that track, rather than dropping the session.
  • ImprovedA session's panel tells its story, every save and bounce in one list, and shows its song's briefs, pitches and shares. A bounce that is not in Locker yet is one tap from the uploader.
  • ImprovedWhen Locker finds a session in your folders it now reads its bounces straight away, gathers a folder of older saves into its project, and ignores your DAW's own backups and working audio.
  • ImprovedWAV, AIFF, M4A and FLAC songs in a connected folder are now picked up too, not just MP3s. Audio inside a DAW's working folders, like takes and samples, is still left alone.
  • FixedThe count of bounces not yet in Locker is now the same on the Sessions page, in your suggestions and in Kii, and a large catalogue no longer shows a bounce as missing when it is already there.
  • ImprovedLocker now spots Nuendo, Bitwig, Reason, LUNA and Digital Performer sessions in Dropbox and Google Drive, and names GarageBand sessions correctly.
  • ImprovedThe track panel puts your song first: versions, lyrics and voice notes at the top, the song's name with its status, artist and location as tags beneath it, and notes and comments once there is something in them.
  • ImprovedEvery side panel keeps Share and its menu in the top bar, with the title and one key detail on a single line underneath.
  • ImprovedTags in side panels all work the same way: click one to search your library, or use the small arrow beside it (or right-click) to change it.
  • FixedA playlist's panel now shows its real length and counts only tracks that are still there (it said 0:00).
  • FixedTags, the version picker and the +N count on a track card now sit exactly on one line.
  • ImprovedMaking, changing or deleting a project template now shows in History.
  • FixedDeleting a playlist or project by asking Kii now moves it to the Trash, where you can restore it.
  • FixedKii can read the sections of lyrics written in the Writing Room again, so asking about a chorus or linking a voice note to a section works on those sheets.
  • SecurityTaking someone out of a room now ends their access straight away. Before, they could keep listening until their pass ran out.
  • SecurityLyrics on a share page can no longer carry forms, links, images or overlays, and a share page no longer keeps the password you typed in your browser.
  • ImprovedEvery file you upload now counts toward your storage, so your total is accurate, and deleting your account deletes all of your files.
  • NewSend a brief to the people you choose. Pick contacts or one of your saved lists, and each person gets their own link to your branded brief page, or finds it waiting in Locker if they use it. You see who opened it and which tracks came back.
  • NewBriefs sent to you by name wait at the top of your Briefs page. Add one to your briefs and Locker looks for your tracks that fit, or set it aside. The sender is not told either way.
  • ImprovedA brief you were sent through Locker tells you when its sender updates it, moves its closing date or closes it, and you choose whether to take their changes.
  • NewEach contact now shows your brief history with them: the briefs you sent, whether they answered, and the tracks you kept.
  • SecurityLocker's database now answers signed-out visitors only for what a public page needs, from a reviewed list it checks every day, and nobody can empty or alter a table from a browser.
  • SecurityA link's preview in a chat app shows a track's title and picture only while its sender can still share it, and a revoked link shows nothing. Cover pictures on a password-protected link open only once it is unlocked.
  • SecurityAsking to join a room no longer reveals whether someone is already a member, and never floods the room's owner with emails. A person listed twice on a room now gets their sign-in code.
  • SecurityNobody can put their own words in your notifications or emails from Locker, or flood you with repeated access requests. Accept and Decline on an access request now work for playlists, projects and folders too, and a request you have answered no longer comes back.
  • SecurityNobody can file things in your folders, use your connected Dropbox, Google Drive or Mac folder, or add plays to your songs' counts from their own account.
  • SecurityEach account stays completely separate on a shared computer. Switching to another account can no longer save one person's songs, drafts or contacts into another's, and anything the previous person left on the device is cleared.
  • SecurityPeople you share a room or brief with can no longer take it over, nobody can put their contacts' names on your songs, and comments can only ever sit on songs that belong where they were left.
  • SecuritySigning in is hardened. Sign-in links can no longer be used to drop you into anyone else's account, and email sign-in and password-reset links now work when opened on a different device from the one that asked for them.
  • NewThe lyric editor is now the Writing Room: one room per track, with the words, your ideas and your voice notes in three views. It is a plain page, like Notes. Put Chorus, [Chorus] or Verse 2 on its own line and it becomes a section you can jump to, and the record button says which section it will record into.
  • ImprovedA voice note is never lost. Every recording is kept on your phone or computer first, then uploaded. If the signal drops, the note says it is waiting and sends itself when you are back online, even after you close the app.
  • ImprovedThe Writing Room has an address now. Reload the page and you are still in it; the back button takes you out; a link opens it.
  • FixedOpening a new lyric sheet and closing it again no longer leaves an empty "Untitled Lyrics" behind. Nothing is kept until you type, name it or record into it.
  • NewFind chords on any voice note. Hum a melody, tap along to the beat once, and Locker tells you the key it sounds like and offers five flavours of chords, which you can play under your hum before using them for a section.
  • ImprovedThe room's tools are Ideas, Voice, Rhymes and Chords. Ideas is your bench: your pad, and your loose concepts and voice notes ready to throw onto the page. Voice notes can be shown for everyone or just you, starred, and grouped by section. The four-track sketchpad is gone; the chord chart stays.
  • NewIdeas is now its own section beside Music, Projects and Contacts, for everything that is not part of a track yet: concepts (a line, a title, a half-thought), voice notes and lyric sheets. Type a concept or press record at the top; shuffle your ideas for a spark; hide the ones you have already used. Ideas are yours alone. To write with someone, open a track's Writing Room.
  • ImprovedOne New menu everywhere, in three groups: Ideas, Music and Send. Starting a new track is a title and three choices, Writing room, Demo or Blank track, and takes you straight there. Tags, credits and location happen inside the track.
  • ImprovedOn the phone, Locker has four tabs, Music, Ideas, Projects and Contacts, with no menu button and no side panel. Each tab's places are chips along the top, each with its own symbol and colour. On Music that is Tracks, Track folders, Playlists, Playlist folders, Sessions, Shares, Briefs, Tasks and Trash, and every tab keeps its own trash as its last chip.
  • ImprovedThe desktop lyric toolbar is one calm row. Fonts, sizes, colours, alignment and lists live under one Format button, the same palette the phone uses.
  • FixedMerging two copies of a track now also carries across any idea you marked as used in it and any brief suggestion it had.
  • FixedPasted lyrics keep every line as its own line, blank lines included, so a section name after a soft line break is found, and printing no longer joins two lines into one.
  • NewSections are yours to shape. Locker now knows more section words (interlude, instrumental, solo, breakdown, drop, post-chorus, vamp, turnaround, ending), you can add your own from the menu beside Sections, and you can turn section detection off altogether, or fold the sections rail out of the way.
  • ImprovedVoice notes look and work the same everywhere now. Your loose voice notes in the Writing Room and in All ideas use the same card as the Voice notes page, with the transcript, the markers and the menu, and All ideas is one full-width list of the same cards you see elsewhere.
  • ImprovedThe Writing Room's tools read Voice, Words, Ideas, opening on your voice notes. Chords has stepped back for now. Your Ideas view in a room is a white pad, yours alone, with your concepts, voice notes and lyric sheets in three tabs, each a tap from joining the track.
  • ImprovedThe Ideas panel lists All ideas, Concepts, Voice notes, Lyrics and Used in tracks as plain rows, like the Music panel.
  • NewIdeas has its own trash. Remove a concept, a loose voice note or a loose lyric sheet and it waits at the bottom of the Ideas panel, where you can restore it or delete it for good. On the phone it is the last chip along the top of Ideas.
  • FixedA voice note or lyric sheet that was not part of any track used to land in the Music trash, and a removed concept could not come back at all. Loose notes and sheets now go to the Ideas trash, concepts can be restored, and the Music trash lists only what belongs to a track.
  • ImprovedYou can now select ideas the way you select tracks, including concepts, and act on several at once. Pick a mix of concepts, voice notes and lyric sheets and Locker offers only what makes sense for all of them. Add to a track takes the lot: sheets and notes attach, and concepts land on the page in the track's Writing Room.
  • ImprovedIdeas now has the same page header as the rest of Locker, with the count and your selection's actions on the right, and one create station underneath: type a concept, start a lyric or record, from any view. The record button stays in the same place instead of moving to the bottom of the page on voice notes.
  • FixedThe tick box for selecting a card no longer covers the icon. It sits to the left, the way it does on tracks and projects.
  • ImprovedEvery list in Locker now draws its cards the same way: the same corners, the same shadow, the same space down the sides and between each card. Tracks stay taller because they carry a waveform. Nothing else does its own thing any more.
  • ImprovedNotifications are grouped into clear boxes: your locker, what is waiting on you, and one box for each day. On a phone they sit in the same rounded groups as the rest of your settings, and the sheet closes with a swipe like every other.
  • ImprovedEvery section in Locker now uses the same box as the share page, from your profile, billing, connections and brand kit to Knowledge, History, Insights and the sessions window. Boxes fold away, and Locker remembers the ones you folded. No more boxes inside boxes.
  • ImprovedFile naming patterns now live in Knowledge, under Memory and Conventions, beside what Locker has learned about how you upload.
  • ImprovedBrand Kit is easier to work in. Your kits sit in a row along the top with Save beside them, the settings scroll with the page, and the live preview stays in view at its real size, on your profile and in the pop-up alike.
  • FixedSwitching brand kits with unsaved changes now asks whether to save them first, instead of quietly throwing them away.
  • ImprovedBrand Kit now shows how many of your links, rooms and rosters use each kit, so you know what saving or deleting it will change.
  • ImprovedEvery side panel now uses the same folding boxes as the share page: songs, playlists, contacts, projects, stems and downloads.
  • ImprovedA song's panel shows only what the song has. Everything it doesn't have yet sits in one Add row, and each part appears as soon as you add one.
  • ImprovedNotes and comments on a song are ordinary boxes now, open or folded the way you left them.
  • ImprovedInside those boxes, versions, lyrics, voice notes, stems, files, playlist tracks and a contact's details are simple rows instead of cards inside cards, so a panel fits more and reads cleaner.
  • ImprovedThose rows now use the full width of their box, and Main sits across the top of the icon, so names have room to show.
  • ImprovedA version's waveform now has a line of its own. Open a version and its type, file and tags read as one labelled list, with your notes and comments a line each until you write.
  • ImprovedEvery row in a song's panel now starts in the same place, and everything that plays, from versions and voice notes to videos and stems, plays from its icon when you hover it.
  • FixedNotes you typed on a song just before folding them or closing the panel are now saved. A second and a half of typing could be lost before.
  • ImprovedYou can select shares the way you select anything else, and act on a handful at once: copy all their links, or revoke them.
  • ImprovedEvery list on the phone now uses the same simple card as your tracks and playlists, including shares, briefs, tasks, groups and ideas. Hold any card to select it and act on several at once.
  • ImprovedOn the phone, sort and filters are always in the same place. Sort is in the top bar and filters are inside search, on every page. Ideas and Projects can now be sorted, and Ideas has Shuffle beside sort.
  • ImprovedListeners to add, in your contacts, now offers Resolve like everywhere else in Locker. Link a listener to someone you already have or make them a new contact, right there in the list.
  • FixedOn the phone you can now start a project, playlists follow the order you pick, and searching voice notes and the trash works. Selecting in the Ideas trash no longer acts on the Music trash.
  • FixedA folder on the phone showed different tracks from the same folder on a computer. Both now read the same folders, and folders inside folders are counted too.
  • ImprovedOpening a share or a brief on your phone now gives you a page made for a phone: what has happened first, the things you do most as big buttons, and every setting a tap away under Details. The side panel no longer opens over the page by itself.
  • ImprovedOn your phone, each song on a brief is one simple row. Tap it to play it, decide on it, see what came back, tag it or comment, all in one place.
  • FixedEditing a brief on your phone no longer runs off the screen. Every field has room, and each is big enough to tap.
  • FixedOpening a project with a brief in it no longer throws the brief's details panel open, and a brief's panel stays closed once you close it.
  • FixedA voice note whose upload was cut off, by closing the tab or losing the connection mid-send, said "Saving" for ever and was never tried again. It now retries by itself. And if your browser refuses to store a recording, Locker sends it straight up rather than losing it.
  • FixedChoosing a track for a voice note or a lyric now searches your whole catalogue, not just your fifty newest tracks.
  • ImprovedOn the phone, a voice note card shows your star, its section and how old it is, and every record button says which section it will record into.
  • FixedRenaming a lyric from the phone's top bar now saves, and the phone's bulk bar no longer shows buttons that do nothing.
  • FixedThe chord sheet you download now prints the section names, not internal codes.
  • SecurityDeleting your account now also removes what Locker's newest matching features learned from your catalogue, including your listening measurements and the sounds of your tags.
  • ImprovedThe help centre now explains sending music properly. There are new pages on sending unreleased music by link, what you can decide before it goes out, and how to see who listened, to which songs and how far through they got. Locker has always done this and the help never said so.
  • ImprovedA new guide on sending unreleased music to labels, clients and collaborators, covering when a file transfer is the right answer, when it costs you, and how to protect unreleased music without making it annoying to listen to.
  • ImprovedLocker now listens to six parts of a recording spread across the song, instead of one ten-second stretch chosen at random. Find Similar and brief matching judge a song by how it actually goes, not by whichever few seconds happened to be picked, so the same song no longer gets a different reading each time it is analysed.
  • ImprovedLocker now listens to your music with a model trained on music, instead of one built for general sound. Find Similar is markedly better at finding another mix of the same song: it used to miss one entirely more than a quarter of the time, and now does so about one time in twenty-five.
  • FixedSongs that were analysed but never got a sound fingerprint are being repaired automatically overnight. Until now they were invisible to Find Similar and were matched to briefs on their tags alone. Large WAV masters were the worst affected, because the file was too big to reach the part of Locker that listens to it.
  • ImprovedEvery sound fingerprint now records which version of Locker's listening made it, so improvements can be rolled out across a catalogue without old and new readings being mixed up with each other.
  • ImprovedThe listening map on a shared song now shows you something. It used to come out one flat colour on almost every song, because it was shaded against the single busiest moment. It is now shaded against how that song normally gets played, and runs from quiet grey up through amber and orange to red, so the parts people replay and the point where they drift off are visible at a glance. Warm means more, the way a temperature map does. There is a key underneath saying what the colours mean.
  • FixedLocker no longer tells you a song has a replayed moment when it simply has a beginning. On a song people start and gradually drift away from, the busiest stretch is always the opening, and it was being labelled as a hook people came back to. A stretch now has to genuinely stand out before it gets named.
  • NewYour share pages now say what the numbers mean. A listener who opened it and never pressed play, someone who came back on another day, and someone who downloaded the file without listening in the browser are each marked on the row. Nearly everyone who plays does so within a minute of opening, so an open with no play is a real answer rather than one still pending.
  • ImprovedYour share links list now tells you how many of your live links nobody has ever opened. A link nobody has touched used to look exactly like one that was doing well.
  • ImprovedActivity on a shared song is grouped by day instead of forty rows all stamped "5 days ago", and each row shows the time it happened. The page shows the most recent activity with everything else one click away.
  • ImprovedThe sections on a shared song now match the panel next to them, in the same boxes used everywhere else in Locker.
  • NewWhen someone asks to be let into a room, you can now let them in from the room itself. Their request appears at the top of People, with a count on the panel so you see it without opening anything.
  • ImprovedEvery comment on a shared song now says where it was made: which link, the room, a brief, or a note you wrote on the song yourself. It also names the version, even when the comment was about the whole song rather than one moment.
  • FixedA link now has the same number everywhere. On a song that also travels in a multi-song link, the same link could be called Link 8 on the page and Link 9 in the panel beside it.
  • FixedAdding or removing a collaborator, including cancelling a pending invite, now shows up on the Shares page straight away instead of after a refresh.
  • ImprovedA room has one name now, instead of a room name and a separate title for clients that almost always said the same thing. Its web address stays its own setting, so renaming a room never breaks a link somebody already has.
  • ImprovedEverything about a room is now in one panel: what is in it, who gets in, its web address, its cover image, its comments, and what it is called. The separate room editor is gone, and opening a room from your Rooms list opens the same panel every other shared thing opens.
  • ImprovedComments on a shared song are listed on the page again, instead of only appearing as a marker on the waveform that you had to find and click. The markers stay, for jumping straight to the moment someone was talking about.
  • FixedThe comment count now shows before you open the comments, which is the whole point of a count.
  • ImprovedThe A-B player lost the floating bar under it. The A and B buttons already start and stop each side and clicking a waveform already jumps to that moment, so the bar was only holding a clock, which now sits with the side it belongs to. Its back link says which song it goes back to.
  • NewEvery song Locker suggests now says how close it is in one of three words, Very close, Close or Loosely related, with a one-line reason. It replaces Strong fit on briefs and the percentage in Find Similar. The words are measured against how your own songs usually relate to each other, so Very close is genuinely rare.
  • ImprovedFind Similar lets you choose between the same three words instead of a percentage slider. The slider barely changed anything, because in a typical catalogue half of all songs are already 60% alike.
  • NewTell me more: ask for a fuller explanation of why a song fits a brief or sounds like another. It only uses facts about the song, and it is checked before you see it.
  • ImprovedA brief is now read once, when it arrives or when you finish editing a request, so finding matches is quicker and gives the same answer every time.
  • ImprovedGenres, moods and instruments you add to a request by hand now count when Locker finds matches for it.
  • ImprovedWhen a brief asks for something Locker can reliably hear, like a film score, instrumentals, a male or female voice or trap, matching now listens for it as well as reading it.
  • ImprovedWhen a brief says what it does not want, matching now steers away from it on the Briefs page as well as in Kii.
  • FixedBrief deadlines now show the right day wherever you are. Before, anyone west of the UK saw each deadline a day early.
  • FixedPicking a due date on a project list no longer jumps back a day.
  • ImprovedFinding matches for a brief is quicker on a large catalogue, and a very large one no longer runs out of time.
  • FixedThe History section on a brief now shows what happened to it. It had been failing to load.
  • ImprovedTracks Locker suggests for a brief request now stay there until you keep them or turn them down, even after you refresh or come back later. Find more brings up ones you have not seen yet.
  • ImprovedYou can now filter a brief by everything its requests are tagged with: instruments, vocal type, production type, tempo and the kind of thing each request wants, as well as artist, genre and mood. On a wide screen every tag shows, and what a request wants sits beside its due date.
  • FixedThe Tag Manager keeps brief tags with your music, where briefs live, and lists them in the same words the brief page uses, with real counts. It now also explains what each one means.
  • SecurityShare links and sign-in details are no longer passed to our error tracking or analytics providers, so the private key inside a share link stays between you and the person you sent it to.
  • FixedWhen Kii builds a playlist it now tells you about anything it left out and why, instead of quietly returning a smaller number than you asked for.
  • FixedAsking a connected AI app to file songs into a folder now actually files them.
  • FixedThe pricing pages no longer claim an AI lyric editor. Locker's rhyme and meter tools are dictionary based by design, and the copy now says so.
  • SecurityShare links, rooms, playlists and rosters now only ever show music their creator is allowed to share, and Locker checks this again every morning.
  • SecurityA song can no longer be made to show a lyric sheet, voice note, stem pack or video that does not belong on it, and invitation emails only ever show titles you are allowed to see.
  • FixedOne damaged entry in a playlist, room or roster no longer stops the whole page opening for the people you sent it to; Locker skips that entry and shows the rest.
  • ImprovedThe Writing Room on your phone has been redesigned: your lyrics fill the screen, Lyrics, Voice and Ideas sit in one clear switch, and every chip is the same square as the rest of Locker.
  • NewRecord a quick take for a section right from the bar under your lyrics, with a live waveform and Stop, without leaving the page.
  • ImprovedHold a section's name on your phone to move, duplicate or delete it.
  • ImprovedRhymes and words on your phone now sit in two slim rows above the keyboard, so your lyric stays in view: pick rhymes, near rhymes, similar words, opposites or triggers from one button and swipe through the results. Each kind of word has its own colour, on your phone and your computer.
  • ImprovedRecording on your phone is one record button, with a microphone setting that suits singing and talking alike.
  • ImprovedYour private pad now stays at the top of a room's Ideas while you scroll, with All ideas first.
  • FixedA take recorded for a section now shows on that section straight away.
  • ImprovedThe top of the Writing Room on your phone is a row slimmer: the lyric's name and its track now share the top bar, and tapping them lets you rename it, move it to another track or start a new one.
  • ImprovedThe chosen chip is easier to see, and the section you are writing in always scrolls into view along the top.
  • NewKii now knows the Writing Room and Ideas. Ask it about your sections, your concepts, the takes on a section or your pad, and it answers from your own work. Kii does not write lyrics for you: it reads, finds and files what you have written.
  • FixedWhen Kii or a connected app like Claude changes a lyric for you, every section, chord and take stays where it was, it never writes over a sheet someone is typing in, and the earlier words are kept in the sheet's history.
  • NewAsk Kii to match any saved brief, request by request, the same way the brief page does. The tracks it finds wait on the brief as suggestions with their closeness word and reason, and Find more never offers one twice.
  • NewAsk Kii for everything about a track: its versions and release facts, lyrics and sections, voice notes, credits, notes, comments, stems, who listened, and the briefs and projects it is part of, in one answer.
  • ImprovedKii can tell you what Locker is working on: tracks being analysed, stem packs being prepared and files waiting to import.
  • NewTell Kii which version came out and its ISRC, and it records them on the recording, the way the Release card does.
  • NewConnected apps like Claude can now undo their own changes, and can pause or revoke a link, reply to or resolve a comment and move things to a trash, always asking you first.
  • ImprovedKii now knows which lyric sheet, brief or room you have open, so "this sheet" and "this brief" mean what you are looking at.
  • FixedKii's answers about your plan now match the Billing page, including analysis credits you have saved up.
  • FixedKii no longer empties a trash or deletes anything forever itself. It tells you what is there and where to do it, so the files go too and nothing is left using your storage.
  • FixedLinks made through Kii or a connected app now share only the audio unless you ask for the lyrics, their passwords open them, and Kii no longer says a link was emailed when it was not.
  • FixedChanging a collaborator's role through Kii keeps their access, a WAV and an MP3 of one recording are no longer called duplicates, and analysing through Kii takes one credit per track.
  • FixedKii can read your email settings and switch one off or on, and sees every item in your trash, including versions, lyric sheets and voice notes.
  • FixedKii now explains each suggestion it leaves for you in plain words, and never treats a "Same song?" suggestion as merging two of your tracks.
  • FixedKii reads and writes a lyric's section headings exactly as the Writing Room does, so a heading it adds shows as a section everywhere, and older sheets show Kii the same sections you see.
  • FixedDeleting something for good now stops if its files can't be listed, and never removes a recording that another track still plays.
  • FixedThings a co-writer added to your track now appear in their own Trash, where they can restore them or delete them for good.
  • ImprovedMerging two copies of a track now also keeps playlists, share links, projects and drafts pointing at the track you kept, and a take you already had goes to the Trash instead of doubling up.
  • FixedWriting together no longer erases each other's section markers, so voice notes stay with their sections whatever words each writer uses.
  • ImprovedOn a page you write with others, Undo takes back only your own changes.
  • FixedOpening an older lyric sheet no longer counts as an edit or notifies your co-writers, and a new sheet keeps its name and first line even if you rename it or close it straight away.
  • ImprovedStars on voice notes are now your own: starring a note no longer stars it for everyone who can see it.
  • FixedIdeas and the Writing Room now tell you when a change could not be saved, instead of showing it as saved.
  • FixedOn a listening panel, the play button goes back to Play when a clip finishes.
  • FixedConnecting a folder on your Mac with lots of songs now finishes its first scan.
  • FixedThe contact and newsletter forms on our website no longer turn some visitors away as 'too many requests'.
  • SecurityIf deleting your account can't check your subscription first, it now stops and asks you to try again, so you are never left paying without an account.
  • SecurityOur error reports no longer keep payment account numbers or the addresses of private links.
  • SecurityIf you use an authenticator app, resetting your password now asks for your code first, and a reset link can no longer open Locker without it.
  • SecurityIf you use an authenticator app, your music, files and everything else in Locker now stay locked to any sign-in that has not given your code, not just the app's screens.
  • FixedThe six boxes for your authenticator code now all show when you sign in.
  • ImprovedResetting your password with an authenticator app now tells you why it asks for your code first, and anyone who has lost their authenticator is pointed to our support team.
  • ImprovedThe help centre now explains how to cancel a subscription, and our guide to music cataloguing software covers more tools and more kinds of work.
  • ImprovedThe Suggestions page now works like the rest of Locker: every card sits in one box, with the usual Type and Show filters in each kind's colour, search, and a sort.
  • ImprovedEach suggestion is one card for one thing. Duplicate cards for the same track or the same person are combined for you, and each file Locker is unsure of gets its own Is it a track? card that remembers your answer.
  • NewOn a Same person? suggestion you can choose which contact the name belongs to, or create a new contact from the same search.
  • NewOn a suggestion to add a track, or to add a credit, you can now add a writer yourself with the usual contact picker, and correct a writer's name before accepting.
  • NewYou can now hear a file on an Is it a track? card before you answer, and read the words on a lyric suggestion before you add it.
  • ImprovedAdding a track or version from a suggestion, and turning a suggestion down, can both be undone from History.
  • FixedSuggestions you answer stay answered, even while Locker is reading your files in the background.
  • ImprovedWhile Locker reads your files, the Suggestions page says what it is doing, like Finding your lyrics, and how far along it is.
  • ImprovedAdding files to a connected folder now updates your suggestions in a minute or two, without re-reading your whole catalogue, and a full read of your catalogue is quicker.
  • ImprovedWhen you drop files into the uploader, Locker sets aside parts, one-shots and working files with the reason and a Keep button, asks once about files it is unsure of, and remembers every answer.
  • SecurityReplies can no longer be left on share links that were switched off or have expired.
  • SecurityDeleting your account now removes everything, including your profile photo.
  • FixedWhen Kii asks before making a change, the card now always says exactly what will change and to which tracks, and Kii's reply afterwards always matches what it actually did.
  • NewKii can make a whole list of changes in one go, each with its own value, like giving every track its own tidied title. You approve the list once, and one undo puts all of it back. History shows the list together, with Undo the whole list.
  • NewAsk Kii to tidy your names and it finds every title, contact, playlist, voice note or lyric sheet written in all capitals, all lower case or with words run together, and shows you each fix before making it. Titles that might be acronyms are asked about, and stylised titles like P$YCHO B4BY are left as you typed them.
  • ImprovedKii can find the contacts missing an email, PRO or publisher, and your empty playlists. Putting a playlist back in its old order, or a project back to its old status, can now be undone.
  • FixedOn a phone, dragging the playhead in the full-screen player no longer skips to the next track, and the playhead line is easier to catch with your thumb.
  • ImprovedSide panels for contacts, playlists, projects, stems, briefs, sessions and shares now show only the sections that have something in them, with quick Add buttons at the bottom for the rest.
  • ImprovedAsking Kii to tidy your titles now changes every one the rule covers in a single list you approve, leaves stylised titles and possible acronyms alone, and Kii always says exactly what it changed.
  • ImprovedWhen Kii asks before changing things, you now see a tidy list of exactly what it will do, one row each, and can untick anything you want left alone before you accept.
  • FixedWhen you ask for tracks like a song Locker does not know yet, it now asks you how it sounds instead of guessing, on the Briefs page and in Kii. A YouTube or Spotify link pasted into Kii is now named the way the Briefs page names it, so a brief you move over from Kii keeps the song's name and link.
  • NewWhen a reference song is too new for Locker to know, Locker now reads about it online and uses that, saying where it read it. Your own description of a song still comes first.
  • FixedA lyric you put on a track, rename or move to the Trash on one device now updates straight away wherever else it is open, instead of staying as it was until you reopened it.
  • FixedThe player now shows a track's new name, artist and artwork as soon as they change, including on your lock screen, wherever you made the change.
  • ImprovedOn iPhone the Words bar above the keyboard is now a single row, so it covers less of your lyric while you write.
  • ImprovedOn iPhone the record button on Voice notes, and New lyric on Lyrics, now sit at the top of the page where they are on a computer, instead of down beside the + button.
  • ImprovedOn your phone, the small notices that pop up at the top no longer cover the screen to confirm what you can already see. They still appear when something goes wrong, when you can undo, and when the result is somewhere else, like a copied link, a download or a purchase.
  • FixedNotices about something that went wrong, like a session that would not open or contacts that could not be added to a group, now look like warnings instead of good news, and "copied" only appears when the link really was copied.
  • FixedA track you make on your phone, or that a co-writer adds to a shared locker, now shows up in your track list on your computer without a reload, and the other way round. If your laptop slept or lost its connection, the list catches up as soon as it is back.
  • ImprovedIn the Writing Room you can put the sections panel away to give your lyrics more room. On your phone the whole bar folds into a small square in the corner and slides back out with one tap; on your computer it is the button next to Focus. Your choice is remembered on each device.
  • FixedIf a lyric you have open is deleted, or stops being shared with you, the Writing Room now closes it and tells you why, instead of staying open on a page it can no longer save.
  • ImprovedAn open playlist now shows the same track cards as your Tracks page, with artwork, artist, tags and waveforms, under one header whose artwork plays the whole playlist.
  • ImprovedA playlist always shows each track as it is now: rename it or change its tags anywhere, on any device, and the playlist follows.
  • NewOn your phone, add tracks from inside a playlist, and hold a track to select several and take them out at once. On your computer, tick them.
  • ImprovedA track in a playlist that you have moved to the trash now says so, with Restore right there, instead of playing as if nothing happened.
  • FixedOn your phone, an open playlist or project no longer shows its name and a back arrow twice.
  • NewOn your phone, make track, playlist and project folders: New folder sits at the top of each folder list, and inside a folder it makes a folder inside that one. The folder lists now show even before you have made your first folder.
  • FixedNew track and project folders now show in History, however you make them.
  • ImprovedOn your phone, All ideas now has the lyric and record buttons beside the concept box, as on your computer, so a line, a lyric or a voice note is one tap away.
  • NewOn your phone, hold a voice note to rename it, star it, transcribe it or trim it, or to add it to a track from the Voice notes page. Hold a lyric to rename it or add it to a track from the Lyrics page.
  • ImprovedOn your phone, tap a voice note's microphone to play it without opening it, and again to pause.
  • FixedConcepts no longer say "No preview" under them. Every idea now shows when you last touched it, and a lyric its first words, in your own language.
v1.9.9•September 2026

Briefs you write, on one page

  • ImprovedA brief is a draft, open or closed, and nothing else. Open means it is published and its link is taking tracks; closed means it is finished and its link says so. There is no separate switch for the link any more, because it was the same thing said twice.
  • ImprovedChange where a brief stands from one place: the State dial in its details, right under Direction. A published brief nobody has answered can go back to draft, and publishing it again brings back the same link.
  • ImprovedEvery brief in your list now says whether it is open, a draft or closed, and where its tracks are ("3 to review", "11 ready to send", "12 waiting to hear"), using the same tags as the filters at the top. Click a tag to filter by it. Closed briefs stay in the list, after everything still going on, and the State filter can show just them.
  • FixedClosing a brief now closes its link too. Before, a closed brief with a live link could still take tracks from people you had sent it to.
  • ImprovedSay how a brief went. Won or Lost now sits beside Closed in a brief's details, and the list shows it on the row.
  • FixedAccepting or declining a submission through Kii now sends the same email the app sends, from your own address, with a reply that reaches you.
  • ImprovedOpening the link of a brief that is closed now tells people it is not taking submissions, instead of saying the link was not found.
  • NewDeleting a brief puts it in the bin on the Music page, alongside songs, playlists and rooms. It keeps every request, track and comment, you can put it back, and its link stops taking tracks while it is in there.
  • ImprovedAny brief can be deleted now, including one people have sent tracks to. It used to refuse, because there was no way back; now there is.
  • ImprovedClose several briefs at once from the list, and the page says how many senders will be told before it does it.
  • FixedKii's verdict above a set of results no longer sits as grey bars that never fill in. If Kii forgets to close its answer, Locker closes it; if a reply was genuinely cut short, it says so instead of looking busy for ever.
  • NewAsk Kii for your best songs, or the strongest for a brief, a sync or a first dance, and it ranks them with a reason on every row using the same taste engine that matches briefs, and tells you how it ranked.
  • ImprovedSay "more", "the rest" or "not that one" and Kii continues the same search instead of starting a new one.
  • NewKeep or set aside a song on any ranked answer, not only on a brief. Kii remembers it for that question next time and says how many it left out.
  • NewTell Kii how you like your rankings (finished masters first, lean to vocal songs, count released songs) and it applies that wherever your ask leaves room, says so on the card, and lets you forget it under What Kii remembers.
  • ImprovedKii learns overnight from what you keep and set aside, and says on the card when that shaped a list.
  • NewYour AI settings now show what Kii has learned from the songs you keep and set aside, and how many marks it needs before it tilts its rankings for you.
  • ImprovedAsk Kii about a song someone shared with you, its stems, sessions, splits, lyrics or voice notes, and it finds it by name and says it is shared.
  • ImprovedAsk Kii to try a brief again after you fix a tag and it re-runs the one you gave it, even a screenshot, instead of asking you to paste it again.
  • ImprovedWhen Kii could not compare sound across all your songs it says so in the counts, and it will not call a song the best of songs it has not heard.
  • NewKii's catalogue check now proposes a version's voice and genre as suggestions you approve, alongside the status ones.
  • ImprovedSearches, counts and rankings read only the songs that fit, so a very large catalogue answers as quickly as a small one.
  • ImprovedFind matches on a brief and asking Kii in chat now order a brief the same way, with what you keep, set aside and prefer applied on both, and the page says what shaped the list.
  • NewAsk Kii to check your catalogue for facts that would confuse its rankings: released songs not marked released, version names that disagree with the voice, missing genres. Every row has a fix, and released songs are proposed on the Suggestions page for you to approve.
  • FixedThe Safety Mode switch and the batch threshold in Settings now do what they say.
  • FixedKii knows which page you are on and what today's date is.
  • FixedAsked what to do next, Kii no longer counts songs in the bin.
  • ImprovedKii shows the songs it found the moment it has them, and writes its verdict above them while you look.
  • ImprovedA song in a Kii result is just the song: the title, the artist after it, and the version. No tag codes or clutter on the row.
  • NewAsk Kii for random songs and you get a fresh random pick each time, not the most recently updated ones again.
  • ImprovedSelect songs on a Kii result and the buttons below say what they will act on: "Acting on the 3 selected".
  • FixedA brief you make keeps the name you gave it. Editing one could rename it to your company, or to your own name.
  • ImprovedA request on a brief you are writing now reads as a card, with the artist, the tags, the dates and your notes, and opens into its fields when you press Edit. Requests can be added below any other and moved up or down.
  • ImprovedWriting a brief tells you when it has saved, and says so plainly if a change could not be saved, instead of failing quietly.
  • ImprovedDates on a brief belong to each request now, and the people you ask can see them. A brief can no longer read as past due while the thing it asks for is still weeks away. When the link should stop taking tracks is a link setting, and it warns you if it would shut before a request is wanted.
  • ImprovedThe top of a brief counts tracks, the same way the page you send does, and a request that wants more than one shows how far along it is.
  • NewStarting a brief is one screen: name it, then write it or read it in from a document. You can also drop a document straight onto a brief you are already writing.
  • ImprovedPublishing a brief tells you what people will see first, and See the page shows you exactly what they get. The link is named after the brief unless you give it a name of its own.
  • NewSelect several briefs and archive or delete them at once. A brief nobody has answered can be deleted along with its link; one with tracks sent in or out is kept and named, to archive instead.
  • ImprovedA brief you are still writing sits in the list with a Draft badge instead of hiding in a fold, and it appears there as soon as you make it. Renaming a brief updates it everywhere at once.
  • ImprovedMaking a brief drops you straight into writing it, with its name and details open, instead of leaving you on the list looking for it.
  • ImprovedSharing a brief, seeing who else is on it and changing its link settings all happen in the details panel now, the same place as everywhere else in Locker, rather than in pop-ups over the page.
  • NewA document you add to a brief can be read into it, so its requests, dates and references fill the brief in without retyping. The document itself is kept.
  • NewEach request can carry the act's photo, and it shows on the page the people you asked will read.
  • ImprovedA brief you are asking with shows only the parts a brief really carries. Terms and delivery notes stay on briefs you were sent, where somebody actually wrote them.
  • FixedA brief you are asking with no longer carries a date of its own. Whatever date it had moves onto the requests that have none, so the date people read is the date of the thing being asked for.
  • ImprovedThe top of a brief page is now just the link and the page people get. Click the brief's name to show or hide its details.
  • ImprovedA brief's link settings are settings and nothing else: one switch for whether it is taking tracks, the brand it wears, what happens when you choose a track, and how much it will take.
  • FixedChoosing the brand a page wears is the same control everywhere now, and it can edit a kit as well as pick one. A link with no brand kit says so, instead of showing a brand it was never going to use.
  • FixedAdding a document to a brief is one button, and it works whether that part of the details is open or closed.
  • ImprovedThe briefs list is one list now, with each brief saying whether it was sent to you or is one you are asking with, instead of two lists stacked with a divider between them.
  • ImprovedSelecting briefs works like selecting tracks: the checkbox is on the card, the actions are in the header, and shift, alt and Cmd A do what they do everywhere else.
  • ImprovedTags on a brief are the same shapes and colours as the filters above them, and clicking one narrows the list.
  • FixedLocker can tell you again when a new track fits a brief you have open. The check behind it had been failing on every run.
  • ImprovedA brief can be ended from its own page now, next to where it is archived, instead of only from a project block.
  • ImprovedAsk Kii about a brief and it can tell you how many tracks it wants, not just how many requests it makes.
  • ImprovedYou can find a brief by what it asks for, not just by its name, and a brief that said when in its own words shows those words instead of "no date".
  • ImprovedArchiving a brief puts it in the archive, reachable from a button on the filter row, and anything in there can be put back.
  • FixedA song's Versions section counts what you can actually see. A WAV and an MP3 of the same bounce are one version, so the number above the list now matches the cards in it.
  • FixedCounts read as proper English again across voice notes, your knowledge pages and your notifications. Places that said "2 track" or "4 stem" now say "2 tracks" and "4 stems".
  • FixedYour activity history calls a Room a Room. It was still using the old client zone wording after everything else had moved over.
  • SecurityScreenshots you attach to feedback can now only be opened by you and the Locker team. They were readable by anyone with a Locker account.
  • FixedPublic message links, playlist counts and a few other behind-the-scenes lookups work again. They had been failing silently.
  • SecurityPrivate links no longer reach the services we use to catch errors and count visits. The key in a share link, an invitation or a sign-in link used to be passed on to them with every visit, and now it is removed before anything leaves your browser.
  • SecurityNobody can add a tag to your pickers or a note to your songs. Two gaps would have let someone else do both, and we closed them before anyone had.
  • ImprovedShare my locker is back in plain sight at the top of the Shares page, next to the faces of everyone who can see your locker. Click the faces to change or remove anyone's access.
  • FixedA locker someone shares with you now sits under Shared with me, with their invitation open and ready to accept, and a locker notification takes you straight there. It used to be filed under Shared by me.
  • ImprovedSharing your whole locker now works like sharing a track. The Share my locker window lists everyone who can see your locker with their level, and you can change what they see, copy a waiting invite or remove them right there. Choose Custom before you invite someone to share only some of your locker.
  • FixedIn the iPhone app, Terms of Service and Privacy Policy now open over the screen you were on, with a Back button that returns you to it just as you left it. They used to leave you on the website with no way back into the app.
  • ImprovedOn the web, Help, Get Locker for Mac and the Terms and Privacy links on the sign-up page open in a new tab, so Locker and your music keep going.
  • FixedIn the iPhone app the clock and battery at the top of the screen stay readable: dark on light screens like sign-in, light on the full-screen player, and matching your light or dark setting everywhere else.
  • ImprovedFind Similar is now one window wherever you open it, from a song, a version, the player or your phone, with previews, the similarity slider and select to add to a playlist.
  • ImprovedFind Similar compares songs the way you would send them, each by its Main version, so a song no longer looks like a close match because of an old demo. Switch to Every recording to include demos, alternate mixes and instrumentals.
  • ImprovedSimilar songs are listed closest first, so the match percentage only goes down as you scroll.
  • FixedFind Similar now opens from the catalogue table, from the iPhone action bar and on songs someone has shared with you, instead of doing nothing or failing. On a song that has not been analysed yet, it offers to analyse it.
  • ImprovedAsk Kii for songs like one of yours and it compares Main versions too, closest first, and tells you when it listened to a different version because the Main has not been analysed yet.
  • ImprovedScrolling your song list does less work in the background: it no longer downloads every song's sound fingerprint on the way past.
  • NewYou can now bring your catalogue in from Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets or OpenDocument files, not just CSV. Kii works out the columns either way.
  • FixedPublisher names and ISWC codes in your catalogue sheets now come through, instead of being set aside.
  • FixedMerging two copies of a song works again, and now brings everything across: notes, session notes, brief decisions, pitch history and where each file came from.
  • FixedRemoving an image now warns you when it is still on a song, playlist, brief or anywhere else. The check had been failing and saying images were not used anywhere.
  • FixedFind similar works again when you filter by genre, mood, instruments or tempo.
  • ImprovedKii now knows the tempo, key and genre of the similar songs it finds for you.
  • FixedReplying as a guest to a shared message, creating a public link to a message and the feedback summary all work again. They had been failing for everyone.
  • FixedUnsubscribing from someone's contact card works again.
  • SecurityPassword-protected share links are much harder to break: the password is sealed on our servers, and wrong guesses are limited however they are sent.
  • SecurityPeople you send a link to can no longer see who else it was sent to.
  • SecurityOnly the real Claude, ChatGPT and other well-known apps can use their names to connect to your Locker, and the approval screen now shows where you will be sent back to.
v1.9.8•September 2026

Kii keeps its word

  • SecurityContact details stay hidden everywhere Kii and connected assistants can reach, including where someone without a name used to be listed by their email address.
  • FixedAsking Kii to move, share or change a song by name works again instead of asking you for an id, and a change that names something Kii cannot find now stops and says so rather than half happening.
  • FixedRenaming a tag across a big catalogue now changes every song it should, and credit counts include every credit rather than stopping at a thousand.
  • ImprovedWhen a connected assistant asks you to approve a change, the message says what the change actually is, and a rehearsal of a brief match no longer costs you a real match.
  • ImprovedTelling Kii a song is the one to send now marks it Ready to send on the brief, on the right request. Asking which briefs are open lists every one the Briefs page shows.
  • FixedFiltering a brief by artist no longer makes the other artists' songs look unfiled, or send your next click to the wrong request.
  • FixedTaking a request out of a brief no longer fails the save: its songs and tags move to the untied pile. A brief with a live link is shown as published rather than sitting in your drafts.
  • FixedA brief that is past due shows the date it actually missed, and the morning email stops saying a late brief closes in nine days.
  • ImprovedSomeone you add to a brief can now work it through Kii, and sending a song in through an older brief link works again.
  • FixedWhen someone adds a vocal, lyrics or a note to a song you have just uploaded, you hear about it straight away instead of not at all.
  • FixedAlerts held back because you had a busy email day now arrive the next day instead of never, and a bulk change says how many songs it moved.
  • ImprovedKii and the catalogue filters are faster: the two heaviest reads in Locker were rebuilt, one of them from two seconds to a fraction of one.
v1.9.7•September 2026

Briefs you work on together

  • SecurityClosed a gap that let anyone call some of Locker's newest database functions without signing in. Every new function now starts closed, and a daily check reports the same day if a door opens again.
  • SecurityA signed-in person can no longer ask Locker's database questions about someone else's account, such as who owns a song or whether their storage is full.
  • SecurityDeleting your account now removes everything that is only yours, including your profile photo and brand files. Tracks you co-own stay with the other owners, and lyrics, voice notes and files you added to someone else's track stay with that track.
  • FixedDeleting your account now always finishes. A comment you had left on someone else's track, or opening someone's share link while signed in, could stop it partway.
  • SecurityWhen you delete your account, comments you left for other people stay with them as from Someone, with your name and email removed, and your plays of their links still count without your name.
  • FixedVoice notes and files on a lyric sheet or idea now open for everyone who can open that sheet or idea, including a new owner after the person who recorded them has left.
  • SecurityShare link previews now treat song titles, names and notes strictly as text, however they are written.
  • NewThe people you add to a brief now hear when someone puts tracks forward or sends them, in one email once they have finished for a while.
  • ImprovedA link made from a confidential brief now starts with the requests hidden, so artist names stay private unless you choose to show them.
  • ImprovedKii's answers now arrive in a clearer layout for everyone: the answer first, the songs it picked, and one button when there is something to do.
  • FixedSongs you send back to someone who briefed you through Locker are now recorded on your brief as sent, so the brief shows what went out and what came back. The record was being refused every time.
  • SecurityClosed a door that let a request without a sign-in ask which accounts were connected to a track or brief by its id. Account ids only, never names or content, and nothing was seen to use it.
  • NewAdd people to a brief from its page or its details panel. They get an invite, land on the brief when they accept, and can put songs forward, tag and comment.
  • ImprovedSongs on a brief are simpler. Decide with Ready to send or Not this one, tag them Love, Good or Not for this, comment whether you work alone or with others, and see who added each song by their picture. Once a song has gone, tap its status to say what came back or to take back a record.
  • NewChoose which version of a song goes to a brief, right on the song. It follows the song's main version unless you pick another, and every link, playlist, download and send uses the version you chose.
  • ImprovedA brief now says exactly how each song went out: sent through Locker, in a link with its plays, or recorded as sent by you. A record you made can be taken back.
  • NewFilter a brief by artist, genre, mood, where songs are, how they went, their tags, or whether anyone commented.
  • ImprovedThe top of every brief now sums it up: who it is from and when it is due, how many songs were asked for, how many you put forward, how many went out and how, how many requests you have answered, how often they were played and what came back.
  • ImprovedThe action bar on a brief lines up with the rest of the page and stands out as the place to act on songs that are ready.
  • NewMake a separate link for each request on a brief, and see every link you made for a brief, with how often it has been played, right on the brief.
  • NewLinks you make from a brief are now brief submissions. The page is titled for the brief and reads like a playlist: a heading for each request, naming the artist and what they asked for, with its songs underneath, playing straight through.
  • ImprovedMaking a brief submission is one card that shows exactly which song and version is going for which request.
  • ImprovedA brief filed in a project is now the brief itself, editable in place, rather than a second copy that could drift out of step with it.
  • ImprovedSharing is simpler. A link is either a listening page, where any reply comes only to you, or a Room. Links that were set to Conversation now work as listening pages.
  • FixedPlaying a song in a Room no longer stops the player from working. A song that cannot be played in a Room now says so, as it already did on share links.
v1.9.6•September 2026

Kii changes only what you name

  • FixedWhen you ask Kii to change several songs by name and one of the names does not match a song, it now changes nothing and tells you which name it could not find, and what is close, instead of quietly changing the others.
  • FixedAfter a search, asking Kii to change one song by name can no longer spread the change to every song that search found.
  • NewKii can now find and count songs by when you added them or last worked on them, so "what did I import today?" gets a straight answer. Asking for a count Kii cannot work out now gets an honest answer instead of your whole catalogue.
  • ImprovedKii can now see when each contact was added, so it can tell someone you have worked with for years from a name an import created a moment ago.
  • ImprovedAssistants connected to your Locker, like Claude, now only ask for your OK before changes that matter, such as deleting, sharing outside Locker, or changing credits and splits. A whole job of changes can be approved in one go from one easy-to-read list.
  • ImprovedAssistants connected to your Locker can now ask which tool does a job, so they find the right one instead of guessing from tool names.
  • FixedLarge catalogues now load in full everywhere. Pickers and dropdowns show every contact and song, imports no longer create duplicates of songs or people you already have, and renaming a tag or emptying the trash reaches everything.
  • FixedImporting songs no longer credits someone just because part of a filename looks like their name. When a name is unclear you are asked instead, and your answer is remembered next time.
  • ImprovedEvery tag the analyser gives your songs can now be picked by hand too.
  • FixedSubscribers' renewal dates show correctly again.
v1.9.5•September 2026

Nothing you add goes unmentioned

  • FixedAdding tracks now tells the people you share with, however you added them. Importing a whole folder at once used to announce nothing at all.
  • ImprovedThe email about a burst of activity now covers lyrics, voice notes, stems, playlists you made or added to, and status changes, not only new tracks and versions. It is still one email per burst, so it says more rather than arriving more often.
  • NewMaking a playlist is now something the people you share with hear about.
  • ImprovedImporting a batch of tracks no longer sets off a second alert for each one saying its main version changed. For its first few minutes a new track simply says that it arrived.
  • FixedAsk Kii what your notifications say and it now names the track and what happened, for example that a link was played once and visited three times. It used to call every share link "share".
  • FixedAdding tracks to a playlist now tells the people you share it with, and says how many went in. Your locker used to file that under the same heading as renaming a playlist, which says nothing on purpose.
v1.9.4•September 2026

A quieter panel down the side

  • ImprovedYour playlists are no longer listed down the side of Music as well as on the Playlists page. The panel keeps the count and gets out of the way.
  • ImprovedFolders in the side panel now start closed, on every page that has one. Open a section and it stays open, and if you are inside a folder its section opens so you can always see where you are.
  • ImprovedYou can now drag a playlist from the Playlists page straight into a folder, the same way songs go into theirs.
  • ImprovedDragging something onto a closed folder section now opens it while you hold it, so a tidy panel never gets in the way of filing.
v1.9.3•September 2026

Briefs, with a home of their own

  • NewBriefs now have their own place in Music, next to Shares. A list of every brief with the ones you are answering first, and a page for each one where you can read what was asked for and work through your songs for it.
  • NewA brief keeps the thing it came from. The document, screenshot, email or voice note you read it out of is kept with it, so you can look at the original whenever you want instead of trusting a summary.
  • ImprovedA brief now knows whether it was sent to you or whether you are asking for songs, so briefs from labels stop appearing under what you have asked others for.
  • ImprovedMatching judges a song the same way wherever you ask from, whether that is the brief page, Kii, or a project. It tells you how well a song fits in words, with the reason in the brief own language, instead of a percentage.
  • ImprovedWhen Locker has not listened to enough of your catalogue to be sure, it says so and holds back from calling anything a strong fit, rather than guessing confidently.
  • ImprovedEvery pitch is kept on the brief: what went out, when, how it went, and what came back. A song you sent by email or handed over in a meeting can be marked as sent too.
  • SecurityA confidential brief can no longer have a public link. Marking one confidential pauses any link that is open, and nothing can put it back.
  • NewYou can now start a brief from the document itself. Drop in a PDF, a Word file, a forwarded email or a screenshot, or just paste the text, and Locker reads out the songs asked for, the references, the deadline and the terms.
  • NewImporting asks you one question first: is this a brief someone sent you, or one you wrote yourself? Nothing about a document can tell the two apart, and the answer decides whether the wording stays put or stays yours to edit. It is on screen while you choose the file, and it says what each answer will mean.
  • ImprovedA brief someone sent you now keeps the words it arrived with, everywhere rather than on one screen. Your own work on it, the status, your notes and the artwork, stays yours to change in both cases.
  • FixedA brief read in from a document no longer shows up as one you wrote. It used to be filed by whether it arrived through a Locker link, so anything imported landed in the wrong list, opened as editable, and offered to collect songs through a link that belonged to whoever sent it.
  • NewReference tracks on a brief now play where you are reading it. Click one and it opens a player in place, whether the sender linked a YouTube video, a Spotify track, SoundCloud or Vimeo, so you can hear what they mean without leaving the brief and losing your place.
  • ImprovedSending songs back to someone who sent you a brief through Locker now goes down their own link: no re-upload, they are told straight away, and it is written into your record of what you have pitched.
  • ImprovedOne set of words for the two kinds of brief, everywhere: Sent to me, and I am asking. The list, the details panel, the project block and Locker’s assistant had drifted into eight different ways of saying the same thing.
  • FixedCreating a link from a brief now shows you the link. It used to close the panel the moment the link existed, so you got a message saying it was made and no way to copy it.
  • FixedA brief you are collecting for shows its link on the brief page again, with the brand it wears publicly. The page had been telling you to look in the details panel, which told you to look at the page.
  • FixedArchiving a brief no longer makes it disappear. The brief page used to show a loading error over a brief that was perfectly fine, and there was no way back to restore it.
  • ImprovedA brief someone sent you now has one Send button, next to the songs it sends. If the brief came through Locker it goes straight back down their link; otherwise it makes you a link to pass on.
  • FixedThe counts at the top of a brief now keep up. Moving a song to Ready used to change the song and leave the number above it stale.
  • FixedA song you put forward for two different requests in the same brief no longer goes into the link twice.
  • NewA brief you are asking with can now be written in. Add a request, say who it is for and what you want, set the tags, references and its own deadline, all on the brief page with the songs sent in for it underneath.
  • NewTerms and delivery are now things you set, not only things Locker read out of someone else’s document: budget, publishing, one-stop, formats, stems, how you want songs sent, and the rest.
  • FixedSongs sent to a brief that has no requests on it yet are no longer invisible. They arrive in their own pile, and you can file each one under a request once you have written them.
  • FixedSending songs to someone who briefed you now tells them which song answers which request. It used to arrive as an undifferentiated pile, losing the part of the brief you had actually worked on.
  • ImprovedEvery brief can be finished now. One you answered can be marked as answered, and one you are collecting for can be closed even if you never made a link for it.
  • SecurityA brief someone sent you can no longer be given a public link, so their brief can never be republished under your name.
  • FixedA song you throw out of a brief stays out of it, instead of being suggested again.
  • ImprovedA song's fit is shown as a word with its reason rather than a percentage, including on songs sent in to a brief, and it stays on the song after you keep it.
  • FixedA brief reads as late when the first thing in it is overdue, not only when the last one is.
  • FixedThe counts on a brief agree with the buttons beside them, so a song chosen for two requests no longer reads as two songs.
  • FixedA brief that reaches you through a Locker link now arrives with its terms, delivery details, quantities and submission instructions, instead of losing them on the way.
  • FixedAdding or removing a request on your own brief now appears straight away, and your typing is no longer lost when something else on the page saves.
  • FixedThe briefs list shows exactly the briefs you have been added to, and nothing you cannot open.
  • FixedDragging a song to another request on a brief now shows the song in your hand, and it keeps its decision, tags and notes when it lands.
v1.9.2•September 2026

Clearer when something cannot be done

  • ImprovedWhen something cannot be done, Locker now says why in plain words, instead of a generic error: replying on a share link, sending songs to a brief, importing a file from the cloud, deleting your account and more.
  • ImprovedYour history marks an action that was rightly skipped, like transcribing a voice note you had just deleted, as Skipped instead of Failed, and never offers to undo something that did not happen.
  • FixedDeleting a voice note while it is being transcribed no longer shows a transcription error. The note simply goes.
v1.9.1•September 2026

Notifications that reach you

  • NewEmail for what happens in lockers and tracks shared with you. New tracks, new versions, comments, invites and their answers, access requests and decisions, and brief submissions can now reach you by email, one email per burst of activity rather than one per change. Alerts still appear in Locker as they always did.
  • ImprovedA burst of uploads in a locker shared with you is one alert that says how many tracks arrived and names the newest, and a fresh alert starts once the uploading has been quiet for a while, so your unread count means something again.
  • ImprovedChoose which emails you get. Settings now has five switches (new music, comments, sharing and invites, your links and briefs, account) and the link in every email edits the same choices.
  • FixedInviting someone to your whole locker now sends the invitation email, including to people who do not have a Locker account yet.
  • FixedAsking for access to a track now reaches its owner, and approving or declining tells the person who asked. Accepting an invitation to co-own a track works again.
  • ImprovedAnyone who can open a track can now be heard on it: a comment or change from someone you share your whole locker with, or from a folder share, reaches everyone else on it.
  • ImprovedThe button in a Locker email opens the track it is about, and a comment link opens the room or the share it came from.
  • ImprovedTwo new alerts for a track shared with you: its status changed, and its main version changed. When a track is made private, people who reach it through a shared locker are told a track is no longer shared, without its title.
  • ImprovedEvery alert and email says tracks, not songs.
  • NewYou are emailed when your storage passes 95 percent or fills up.
  • SecurityAn email about a share can only ever go to the address on the recipient's own account.
v1.9.0•September 2026

Brief answers you can trust

  • ImprovedIn Kii's result rows the number turns into the play button when you point at it (and is always a play button on a phone), the song's title opens the song, and the fit word is never covered. The version line and Kii's reason now run the full width of the row.
  • ImprovedSelecting songs in a Kii answer no longer squashes the header. The count and the Select all control share the title row, the held-back chips sit beneath at full width, and the buttons say Create Playlist and Create Link without a number.
  • FixedA brief read from a PDF or a screenshot no longer invents a voice requirement. "A topline that can showcase both vocal and rap abilities" is read as a delivery, not as a duet, so a female-vocal song is no longer marked as missing something the brief never asked for. When a brief does ask for a voice, the caveat says so in plain words.
  • ImprovedA brief answer in chat always carries the forty strongest songs and opens on ten with Show more. The count reads "10 of 103 that fit" and grows as you page; the model can no longer decide to show you three.
  • ImprovedEvery Kii result speaks one language. A song's fit is a word (Strong fit, Good fit, Stretch) rather than a percentage or a "lead" tag, a count says what it counts (3 of 663 matches, 10 of 635 that fit), and songs held back are mentioned once, in the header.
  • ImprovedA brief document now gives every ask the same detail as a single brief: a fit word and Kii's reason under each song, and an ask that names no artist is read as the same artist as the ask before it.
  • FixedKii's answers no longer spill past the edge of a narrow window. Long buttons and header chips wrap instead of being cut off.
  • ImprovedResult cards read as sentences (Brief matches, Catalogue gaps, Tracks missing status), a confirmation no longer repeats Kii's words beneath its title, and counts say songs and versions rather than trk and ver.
  • ImprovedKii's answers say each thing once. The results header carries the count, what was held back and what the brief was read as; Kii's own words are one short verdict; every song appears once, in the list, with its reason and how well it fits, and the songs Kii would lead with are marked.
  • ImprovedResult rows are laid out for narrow windows and phones: the fit on the title line, the version and the song's tempo, key and genre beneath it, and the reason on its own line. Play and open are always visible on touch screens.
  • ImprovedA large brief document no longer sits on one line for minutes. Kii reports each ask as it lands, keeps what it has scored when it runs out of time and names what is still to score with a one-tap "Carry on", and never re-reads a document it read a moment ago.
  • ImprovedKii's answers now read as one thing: what Kii thinks sits at the top of the results it found, the songs it picks can be played straight from the answer, and its one suggested next step is the main button under the list.
  • FixedWhile Kii is still writing you now see a quiet placeholder, never raw text, and a search or similar-songs answer no longer ends in a block of code.
  • ImprovedSimilar-song results say how close each song is in words (Very close, Close, Loosely similar) instead of a percentage, and each row shows the song's tempo, key, genre and voice where they are known.
  • ImprovedKnowledge suggestions no longer interrupt a Kii answer. A quiet line at the foot of the results says how many relate to those songs and opens the same suggestion cards you see in the song inspector.
  • FixedOpening a playlist from the sidebar or a track list no longer shows "Drawer encountered an error". The playlist inspector opens first time, every time.
  • ImprovedSend is now Create Link everywhere: on songs, playlists, versions, stems, lyrics, files, voice notes and ideas, in the players, in the bulk bars and on Kii's results. It opens the link creator straight away with the item attached. Share stays the place to add collaborators.
  • FixedSelecting several playlists and choosing Create Link now makes a link with all of them. It used to do nothing.
  • ImprovedNew link in the shares hub opens the same Create Link panel as everywhere else, instead of a separate dialog.
  • ImprovedLocker now reads project folders the way each DAW lays them out: Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton, Cubase, Nuendo, Studio One, FL Studio, REAPER, Bitwig, LUNA and Digital Performer. A bounce inside a project folder is linked to that folder's sessions, backups are counted as backups, and recording takes are never mistaken for songs.
  • NewDuring your first import Locker asks three simple questions about the batch: where the songs were written, whether they are for pitching or your own, and what stage they are at. One answer tags every song, and any song can be changed later.
  • ImprovedThe people Locker spots in your filenames can be given their real names on the spot. The short name stays as an alias, so the next import recognises them.
  • ImprovedEvery tag on a freshly imported song can be edited right there in the onboarding, with the same editor the inspector uses.
  • ImprovedThe free plan is now simple: 25 songs, one version each, and every song analysed. The old ten-analysis ceiling is gone, so a first import never stops half way with "out of credits".
  • ImprovedWhen a folder holds several versions of one song, a free locker keeps the most finished one and tells you exactly how many others are waiting. Upgrading unlocks multiple versions per song.
  • ImprovedThe first-run Reveal now ends with a proper finale: what was found, what Locker did with each thing, the people it spotted and the first questions to ask Kii, instead of a line under the list.
  • FixedBringing in a Pro Tools folder no longer reports hundreds of "sessions". Automatic backups are counted as backups, the same session saved twice counts once, and recording takes are set aside instead of being offered as songs.
  • FixedThe Reveal says what it set aside by name: copies in another format, instrumentals, files from stems or samples folders. A song that only exists as a WAV is now kept instead of being dropped.
  • ImprovedThe Reveal now says what it looked for, including the things it did not find, so you know that lyric sheets (.txt, .md, .docx), artwork and session files are all recognised.
  • FixedClosing the welcome screen with escape, the X or a click outside now counts as "not now", instead of bringing it back on every visit.
  • FixedThe songs counter in Billing updates as songs land, instead of showing zero until you sign in again.
  • FixedPlan limits are explained in plain words wherever they appear, instead of a code in the upload tray.
  • FixedSongs in the trash no longer count towards the free plan's 25. Trashing a song frees its place straight away, and the counter in Billing updates as you trash, restore or empty.
  • ImprovedNaming the people Locker spotted in your filenames is now obvious: click a short name to give it the person's full name, or right-click it for more, before adding them as contacts.
  • ImprovedThe first-run Reveal now says which sessions belong to the songs you brought in, and which belong to songs that were not in the batch, instead of one big number.
  • FixedUpgrade from the first-run Reveal now opens the plans directly.
  • FixedEmpty Trash now actually empties it. It used to work through your songs one at a time in the browser and stop the moment you refreshed; it now runs on the server, finishes on its own, and tells you if anything could not be deleted.
  • ImprovedDuring your first import, every song now shows the same Artist / Pitch, Location and Status lines as the song inspector, with the same plus buttons, so you can set each song on its own or answer once for all of them.
  • ImprovedNaming the people spotted in your filenames is a proper list now: type each person's full name, or say they are already one of your contacts and the short name becomes their alias.
  • ImprovedEvery tag the analyser adds to a version during the first import can be changed or removed on the spot, including vocal type and production type.
  • FixedRight-click editors and pickers now work inside every dialog, including the first-run Reveal. They used to open and then ignore clicks and typing.
  • ImprovedThe first-run Reveal is now two-sided from the start: your songs on the left, your answers on the right. You can name the people Locker spotted while it is still analysing, and leave for your locker at any point without losing anything.
  • FixedA tag removed from a version during the first import now disappears on the spot.
  • ImprovedThe version chips in the first-run Reveal are now the same chips as everywhere else in Locker, with the same colours per type and the same picker once a track has landed. The screen reads Tracks on the left and Info on the right.
  • ImprovedThe people list in your first import now speaks plainly whatever your file naming looks like: each name says how many tracks it appears on, the button says how many people it will add, and "Already a contact" only appears once you have contacts to pick from.
  • NewA released song now has a place for what it achieved. Once a song's status means released, the inspector shows a Release section for its release date, label, gold and platinum certifications by territory, chart positions and awards, and the ISRC of the recording that came out.
  • NewCertifications wear their metal: a gold disc for gold, stacked discs for a multi-platinum, a diamond for Diamond, in the inspector and on the song.
  • ImprovedCertification and Label are now tags you manage like any other, so you can filter your catalogue by released songs, by certification tier or by label, and the credits filter is grouped by role.
  • ImprovedThe Notifications panel and the Welcome Back summary no longer offer a Messages tile. Messaging retired in favour of comments, and the tile read like an unread count.
  • ImprovedThe shares hub only lists "Sent in messages" if you actually sent tracks in messages while messaging was live.
  • FixedWhen a shared page could not play a song, your share activity now says so instead of counting it as an open.
  • NewAsk Kii about your released songs: which ones went gold or platinum, what came out on a given label, and when. Kii can also set a song's release date and label for you.
  • ImprovedThe row of counts at the top of Notifications and Welcome Back is now headed "Your locker", so it reads as your totals rather than unread notifications.
  • ImprovedUploads finish the moment your file is in. Locker used to hold each upload open until the audio analyser had woken up and answered, which after a quiet spell could take a full minute and left the next songs waiting. Analysis now runs in the background and your songs are ready to play, tag and share straight away.
  • ImprovedTempo, key and tags arrive sooner. Results used to wait for a once a minute collection after the analyser had finished; they now land the moment it is done.
  • ImprovedYou can see when a version is being listened to. A small "Listening" marker appears on the version card, in your catalogue and during onboarding while the analyser is working, and disappears when the results land.
  • ImprovedThe upload tray tells the truth. Upload progress is now measured from the bytes actually sent, large files resume after a dropped connection, and the analysis row says what is happening in words instead of a percentage that never moved.
  • FixedAdding a version to a song you already have now names that song in the upload tray, the analysis row and the notification your collaborators receive, instead of the file name.
  • FixedAdding a version to a song no longer makes it the main version. The song keeps its current main unless you star the new one.
  • ImprovedStarting a new conversation with Kii no longer wipes your earlier ones. New conversation starts fresh, and deleting a conversation is now its own step that removes only that one.
  • ImprovedKii can now say why a song fits, not just name it. Tempo, key, voice, mood, genre and release status travel with every search result, so recommendations come with reasons.
  • ImprovedWhen Kii runs out of steps on a long request it now tells you exactly what got done and what is still to do, instead of sounding finished.
  • ImprovedKii keeps more of your conversation in mind on busy questions. It now offers itself a shorter, sharper set of tools for each message, which leaves room to remember what you said earlier.
  • ImprovedKii now thinks before it answers a judgment question, such as which of your songs suits a brief or which of two is stronger, instead of only when you use the word brief.
  • NewKii remembers what you were working on between conversations and picks it up when it is relevant. You can see everything it remembers in Settings under AI Assistant, and forget any of it with one tap.
  • FixedAsking Kii about a saved brief no longer gets a false "no matches". When it had only listed your briefs, it was being told each one had been searched and nothing fit; it now runs the match.
  • ImprovedAsking Kii for a playlist or a brief that mentions songs and instrumentals now gives you both. It used to hand back instrumentals only; songs are the default unless you ask for beats.
  • ImprovedWhen you ask Kii for beats, it no longer offers the instrumental mix of a finished song as if it were a beat. It tells you how many finished songs it set aside, and you can ask to include them.
  • ImprovedCorrect Kii mid-conversation and it acts on it. Say "wait, that one is actually released" and it marks the song released and redoes the shortlist; say "not that one, too moody for them" and it sets the song aside for that brief and shows you the list without it.
  • ImprovedKii keeps its train of thought between the steps of an answer, so a recommendation built over several lookups arrives with the reason each song fits and the reading it took, not a fresh guess after every step.
  • ImprovedShare links now stream the compressed version of a song instead of the full master. Songs that would not play at all on an iPhone now play, and everyone else gets a much faster start on mobile data. Downloads still give the original file.
  • ImprovedFiles arriving from a connected app now land in your Locker straight away. They used to wait for the audio analyser to wake up first, which could add more than a minute for no reason. Tempo and key still arrive when the analyser has finished, in the same place as always.
  • FixedAdding a new version to a song you already have now labels it with the song name instead of the file name.
  • FixedA file arriving from a connected app is no longer occasionally analysed twice, which used to use two of your analyser credits for one song.
  • FixedPlaying a single stem no longer fails, and pages that quietly failed to load who has access to something now load properly.
  • FixedAn upload arriving from the Logic plugin no longer shows a percentage the app cannot measure. It shows a moving bar and the file size while the bytes are in flight, and a real percentage once analysis starts.
  • ImprovedFile formats are colour coded the same way everywhere: a WAV is the same colour in the Logic plugin as it is in your catalogue.
  • FixedIn the plugin, only the song title opens the track picker now, so clicking a version no longer reopens it, and the panel keeps its shape while you choose instead of collapsing.
  • Fixed"+ 2 more" in the plugin actually expands the version list now, and collapses it again.
  • ImprovedThe Logic plugin panel has been redrawn. The song you are bouncing to is now a card at the top with its versions inside it, the settings you set once per project fold away behind a single line, and everything that is happening reads in one place at the bottom.
  • NewA share link made automatically from a bounce now has the same options as one you make in the app: allow downloads, ask for a name, set a password, and choose when it expires.
  • ImprovedUploads arriving from the Logic plugin now show in the app the moment they start, with the file size, instead of appearing only once they had finished. Small files used to land before anything was said about them.
  • ImprovedThe plugin panel has one place that says what is happening. Waiting, preparing, uploading and analysing all read in the same spot, above the files they describe.
  • FixedThe Logic plugin lists a song’s versions the way your catalogue draws them, one row per recording with its formats shown, so the two no longer disagree about how many there are.
  • ImprovedThe plugin’s version list refreshes as soon as a bounce lands, so what you just sent is there without reopening the panel.
  • ImprovedEvery file in a bounce gets its own row in the plugin, with its size, a real progress bar, and a tick when it is in. Rows stay put instead of vanishing as each file finishes.
  • ImprovedThe plugin’s header stopped reciting filenames and technical detail. Tempo and key now appear on the file they belong to, rather than under the name of the song.
  • FixedAdding files to the uploader now brings in every one you picked. Depending on what had been staged before, some of your selection could quietly go missing.
  • FixedA bounce saved as both a WAV and an MP3 now reads as one song in two formats rather than a stem pack.
  • FixedSong titles are no longer mistaken for stems or artwork because of a short word hidden inside a longer one. Titles like Instant Karma, Democracy Now and Mastermind were being shortened behind the scenes, which stopped their files grouping with each other.
  • FixedThe Logic plugin now shows a song’s existing versions when you pick it. It was looking for your song among only your most recently touched tracks, so anything you had not opened lately came back blank.
  • FixedSearching in the plugin’s track chooser now actually searches. Whatever you typed, it was quietly returning your most recent tracks instead.
  • FixedBouncing to a song the plugin only knew by name no longer risks creating a second copy of that song. It now finds the one you already have and adds a version to it.
  • FixedBrowsing your whole catalogue in the plugin works again for large lockers. Past roughly 350 songs the list was coming back empty.
  • ImprovedThe plugin tells you when analysis finishes, with the tempo and key it found. It could never see the result before, so it always ended up saying it was still working.
  • ImprovedChoose a track in the plugin without leaving the keyboard: type, arrow to the one you want, press Return.
  • ImprovedA bounce that writes two files now reads as one journey, with each file’s size and its place in the pair.
  • ImprovedThe plugin panel had a visual pass: the format chooser matches the rest of the panel, the fields line up, long version names no longer cut off mid-word, and the header shows which build you are running.
  • ImprovedBefore a connected assistant changes anything, the approval it shows you now says exactly what it will do: which people, which songs, which fields. "Credit a contact on a track" is gone.
  • FixedYour history names the song for every upload a connected assistant makes, and the history an assistant reads is the same one the app shows you, machinery left out unless it asks.
  • FixedSuggestion counts now cover your whole feed, and asking an assistant "what suggestions do I have?" gives a page mixed across every kind instead of fifty of the same one.
  • FixedAsk Kii or a connected assistant who wrote a song and it now answers from your imported files: the writers, publishers and ISWC your works registration lists, with the file named. Before, it said your imports were empty even when they were not.
  • ImprovedSongs that arrive through a connected assistant, an import or a submission now have their filenames read for writers, the same way the uploader does, so credit suggestions appear for them without anyone opening the app. Everything already in your locker is being read over the next hour.
  • ImprovedA song marked pending now means an artist has taken it but it is not out yet. Kii keeps those out of pitch shortlists, the same way it keeps released songs out, and says why.
  • FixedThere is one "work in progress" everywhere. Older spellings of it have been folded into the one column on your board and in your filters, and a connected assistant that uses a spelling you do not have is told which statuses you do have instead of adding a new one.
  • ImprovedBrief matching listens again. The sound of each song now genuinely moves its score, so two songs with the same tags no longer tie, and the list is in order of how well each one fits.
  • FixedA brief only asks for what it actually says. Kii used to read "songs for a girl group" as a demand for a duet and hold back most of a catalogue for missing it; now anything it merely infers about a brief nudges the ranking instead of ruling songs out.
  • ImprovedA song is offered as the song. Acapellas, vocal stems and instrumental versions no longer compete for a place in a pitch shortlist; the full mix takes the spot and the row says what else that song has. Songs that exist only as vocals are named as toplines rather than quietly dropped.
  • FixedEvery song with a fingerprint is now compared by sound on every brief. Before, a limit inside the search decided how much of your catalogue got heard, and the answer changed from run to run.
  • ImprovedA song now has to fit the whole brief rather than one line of it, and a brief that says what to avoid is heard on that too.
  • FixedAsking Kii to change something about a shortlist you just got keeps the brief. It used to re-run a short summary of the brief, quietly losing the reference tracks and half the detail.
  • ImprovedKii now listens to the songs a brief names as references. It writes down how each one sounds and searches your catalogue for that, so the clearest thing in a brief finally counts.
  • NewEvery brief result now tells you what it makes of each song: a verdict, a sentence in the brief's own words, and the two or three worth leading with. Percentages have left the card, because a reason is worth more than a number.
  • NewLocker can now hear what a song is made of. Music box, vocal chops, low strings, an arpeggio, a whistle hook and seventy more, measured against your own catalogue, so a reason can say which of the things a brief asked for a song actually has.
  • ImprovedThe songs you keep and set aside on briefs now gently shape future shortlists, and any song they push down says so.
  • NewA reference on a brief can now be matched by ear. Drop the track in and Locker finds the songs in your catalogue that genuinely sound like it, which beats any description. The file is listened to and deleted straight away: only the fingerprint is kept, never the audio.
  • FixedA brief answer now says how many songs cleared the bar and shows the strongest of them, instead of reporting the size of the list as if it were the count.
  • ImprovedKii reads what you named a version. An instrumental, an acapella, a vocal stem, a stripped mix or a 30-second cut is offered as what it is, and the full mix represents the song. A version named MALE or FEMALE is treated as that voice, whatever the analyser guessed.
  • ImprovedA sketch, a rough or an untitled bounce is still shown for a brief but marked as a sketch and ranked below finished work of the same fit, so it never leads a pitch.
  • FixedA notification about a share link now names the song, the way the Shares list always did. Links to a single version used to announce the version name instead, so the same link had two different names depending on where you saw it. Existing links have been corrected.
  • ImprovedShare links made by a connected app now carry your brand kit, the same as links you make in Locker.
  • ImprovedEvery version now says what file it is. A WAV, MP3 or AIFF tag sits beside the version type, so you can see at a glance which format a version holds instead of hovering its name to find out.
  • ImprovedUpload a WAV and an MP3 of the same mix and Locker shows them as one version carrying both formats, with a tag for each, instead of two versions with the same name. Only files you uploaded count: the MP3 Locker makes for playback is never listed as one of yours.
  • FixedDownloading a version now gives you the format you asked for, correctly named. When a version holds more than one format the menu offers each by name, and an MP3 no longer downloads with a .wav filename.
  • ImprovedClick the WAV or MP3 tag on a version to download that file straight away, without opening a menu.
  • ImprovedThe Mac app now keeps track of audio that lands in your Downloads and shows it under Waiting on you, so files that arrive while the app is closed are still offered later. Nothing is ever added on its own: opening the list stages the files in the uploader for you to decide on.
  • ImprovedEvery brief answer says what it was computed from: how many songs had sound, tags and lyrics to compare. If a brief is about the words and your lyrics have not been analysed, Kii says so before anything else.
  • ImprovedEach song on a brief card now shows the reason it is there and the one thing to know before you send it, in plain words.
  • FixedThe same brief gives the same answer every time. Kii keeps its reading of a brief for thirty days, so running it again does not quietly reshuffle the list, and asking for the next page really shows the next songs.
  • ImprovedEvery song in every catalogue now gets analysed, a few at a time in the background and at no cost to you, so brief matching, similar-song search and the gap reports see your whole locker rather than only what you uploaded from the app.
  • FixedA slow, sung song no longer loses its second feeling to the word Ballad. Ballad is added alongside the moods the analyser heard, not in place of one.
  • ImprovedA mood the analyser was barely sure of now counts for less in a brief match. It stays on the song, but it no longer weighs the same as the mood the analyser was certain of.
  • FixedTag decisions you made before Locker kept a per-tag record are now remembered, so a re-analysis never undoes a tag you set or brings back one you removed.
  • ImprovedEvery WAV, AIFF or FLAC gets a playable preview whichever way it arrived, and one that got stuck is asked for again.
  • ImprovedAnalyser credits come with a receipt. Each one names the song it bought, and a credit spent on an analysis that failed comes back by itself.
  • ImprovedA version named INST, ACAP, MALE or FEMALE is recorded as exactly that on the song itself, so filters, cards and Kii all agree with what you called it.
  • FixedConnected AI apps now act as you. Listening insights, credits and collaboration counts that came back empty through a connected app are correct again, and a refused action says why instead of pretending the action does not exist.
  • SecurityAsking a connected app for everything Locker knows about a version or a project now checks that you can see it.
  • FixedKii and connected apps can no longer create a contact from something that is not a name, such as a filename tag, a column header or a placeholder, and asking to credit part of a name asks you which person you meant instead of guessing.
  • FixedSuggestions stop flickering. A suggestion keeps its identity between runs, so the same idea is no longer taken away and offered again every time Locker reads your sources.
  • ImprovedOne song, one group. Files for a song that is not in your Locker yet now sit together under its title instead of one card per file.
  • NewThe Suggestions page remembers when you last opened it and can show only what arrived since.
  • ImprovedEvery suggestion to add a song, a version or lyrics now says in plain words why Locker is as confident as it is.
  • NewNot a person. When a credit or a match suggests a name that is not a person at all, one click tells Locker never to offer that name again, on any song.
  • FixedA suggestion that is no longer true, because the song was imported, the credit added or the track deleted, now retires itself on the server, so Kii and connected apps see the same live list you do.
  • FixedThe suggestions badge now counts every kind of card the page shows.
  • FixedKii describes every suggestion in the same words as the app, instead of showing an internal code for most of them.
  • FixedSong titles read from your sources no longer lose their last word when it happens to match the name of someone in your contacts.
  • NewKii now suggests tasks from your whole catalogue: songs sent to your inbox, files waiting in watched folders, overdue projects, missing writer credits, splits that do not add up, missing key and BPM, untitled tracks and missing genres. Each suggestion says why it matters, one click turns it into tasks, and you can ask Kii about them in chat too.
  • NewCapturing an idea on your phone is now a proper instrument: recording takes over the screen with the section name on it, a marker button under your thumb, and stop always keeps. A mic on the lyric keyboard bar records for the section you are writing. Voice notes gained a star for keepers, and every co-writer now gets their own private notepad with a share toggle.
  • FixedLinking a voice note to a lyric section now works from inside the track, not just the writing room.
  • FixedSearching your catalogue now covers all of it. If you had more than about a thousand versions, some of your songs could not be found by name and were missing from filtered results, without anything saying so.
  • FixedThe tag cleaner no longer suggests merging genres that are simply different, like pop with K-pop or folk with rock.
  • FixedFinding duplicate contacts is far more careful. It used to suggest merging everyone who shared a first name, which would have deleted real people and moved their credits.
  • FixedCounts in search results now describe what you actually asked for. Searching for one kind of suggestion reported the total for every kind, and a contact found by a nickname was reported as no result at all.
  • FixedTwo features work again: the overview of what you have been working on in your DAW, and the list of songs your imports mention that are not in your catalogue yet. Both had been failing silently.
  • FixedOpening a share notification no longer traps you on that song. The back arrow used to flash and put you straight back into the listening story, with no way out. It goes back now.
  • FixedClicking part-way along a waveform plays from that moment instead of starting the song again. This affected every waveform and inline player in Locker, including voice notes, submissions and files in projects.
  • FixedComparing two versions side by side keeps your place. Tapping A or B now picks the song up from the same spot, the way the player promises, and clicking a waveform selects that side without jumping back to the beginning.
  • FixedVoice note transcripts are saved again. Since late August a transcript could appear, then vanish on reload with the note marked as failed. Your recordings were never lost: press Retry on any affected note to get its words back.
  • FixedTurning a song into a lyric sheet works again. The service that listens to your song now has the room it needs to finish a full track, where before it could stop part of the way through.
  • ImprovedWhen a lyric transcription cannot finish, Locker now tells you why, for example that the service is busy or took too long, instead of just saying it failed.
  • FixedThe Voice Notes count updates as soon as you record or delete a note, instead of waiting for the next reload.
  • FixedA lyric no longer says "Analysing" when nothing is running. It shows a tick once the analysis matches your words, and when you change enough of a lyric it analyses it again by itself.
v1.8.0•August 2026

Shares become a place

  • FixedShare links now show each song’s real waveform. Until now a shared page drew an invented shape that had nothing to do with the audio, so the person you sent it to was looking at a picture of the wrong thing. Rooms were always correct.
  • ImprovedIf a song on a share page has never had its waveform drawn, the listener’s own browser now draws the real one as it plays, rather than showing an invented shape.
  • FixedSongs added by a connected AI app, an accepted submission or an import now arrive with their waveform already drawn, the same as a song you upload yourself. Before this they showed a flat line until you happened to open each one.
  • ImprovedAny songs already sitting without a waveform now get drawn quietly in the background while you work, instead of only when you scroll past them. It waits for a quiet moment, takes a few at a time, and never runs on your phone.
  • FixedYour catalogue completeness score tells the truth about waveforms. A song with nothing to show was being counted as finished, so the score looked better than your catalogue actually was.
  • FixedKii and connected AI apps now count what you actually have. Songs in the trash, binned versions and the first thousand of anything no longer slip into totals, so a "how many" answer matches your catalogue.
  • FixedAsking Kii or a connected app about a single contact works again, and company names no longer arrive wrapped in brackets and quotes.
  • ImprovedShare analytics name the song behind every version link, and a collaborator who has never been active is called exactly that instead of "999 days quiet".
  • ImprovedKii’s knowledge overview counts people rather than appearances: a writer credited on 499 songs is one person. It also says how many of the songs it believes in already exist in your catalogue under the same title.
  • ImprovedThe catalogue gap report is readable again. Each gap shows its count and a first handful of songs, and you can ask for any one gap in full, a page at a time.
  • FixedProject readiness, summaries and suggestions now see your songs’ real tags, analysis and credits. A project whose songs were all finished was being reported as 0% complete.
  • FixedA project no longer keeps counting a song you have permanently deleted, and tells you when an item points at one that is gone.
  • FixedAsking Kii to create a song works again, and a refused value now says which field refused it instead of a generic error.
  • FixedKii can search your lyrics by theme again, and opens each conversation knowing what has happened since you last spoke to it. Both had been quietly unavailable.
  • FixedThe duplicate finder works on large catalogues again, and no longer lists ordinary version families as duplicates.
  • FixedAsking Kii or a connected app to prepare a share for a song works again.
  • FixedCatalogue completeness no longer stops counting at 1,000 songs. If your catalogue is bigger than that, every song is now included in the score.
  • NewTalk about a song right on the song. Everyone who can open a track can now comment on it and its versions, reply in threads and mention teammates, so the conversation about a mix lives with the mix instead of in a group chat somewhere else.
  • ImprovedReplying and resolving comments now behaves the same from every corner of the app, and comments left on shared playlists can finally be resolved.
  • ImprovedThe Tasks page now remembers which comments you have already answered, and a new Send and resolve button posts your reply and settles the thread in one go.
  • ImprovedYour own comments no longer count as things waiting on you.
  • ImprovedTasks now works on your phone, including the rows in the welcome window that point there.
  • ImprovedKii can now read and act on comments from everywhere they happen: share links, rooms, briefs and team conversations, not just rooms.
  • FixedConnecting Claude and other AI apps to your locker now works end to end, with a new dedicated connection address shown on the Connections page.
  • ImprovedKii and connected AI apps now speak the new sharing language: they can set a link’s conversation level, talk about Rooms, and no longer offer retired features.
  • FixedUpgrading your plan now hands you the new monthly analyser credits straight away, instead of making you wait for the first of the month.
  • NewShares now has a home of its own in the sidebar. Every link, room, collaborator and roster in one place, with the listening stories and heatmaps front and centre instead of tucked behind your avatar.
  • NewA share link can now hold an open conversation. Turn it on and everyone on the page sees the same comments, pinned to the exact moments in the songs. Off by default, so every link you have already sent stays private.
  • ImprovedClient zones are now called Rooms, and they finally show up in your share analytics, plays, listeners and listening heatmaps included. Your deepest client pages were the one place that data went missing.
  • ImprovedA room's guest settings, downloads and comments, are now editable right in the room's own editor.
  • ImprovedEach link's feedback setting can be changed after sending: private replies, open conversation, or off, and off now genuinely closes the door.
  • FixedAn open room no longer asks for an email code when opened through its share-token address.
  • ImprovedVerified guests stay verified. Reopening the browser no longer makes a room ask a regular visitor to prove who they are again while their access is still valid.
  • NewEvery share now has a depth dial: a quiet listening page, an open conversation, or a full room. Turn it up any time and the link stays the same, so a song you sent last month can become a standing room today without re-sending anything.
  • ImprovedOpening any share shows its listening story centre-stage with all its settings in a side panel, the same way a track works. No more digging through stacked views.
  • ImprovedCreating a link and creating a room are one flow now, from every share button in the app.
  • ImprovedOpening a share or a playlist now keeps the same slim header and filter bar as the rest of the app, with your links as one-click filters, so nothing feels like a different product when you click into it.
  • ImprovedThe share settings panel now matches every other side panel in look and feel, and a room can be paused or moved to Trash right from it.
  • ImprovedPlaylist actions like share, send, download and edit now sit in the top bar of the playlist page, the same place every other page keeps them.
  • ImprovedShares now has one clear home in the sidebar. The duplicate entry in the account menu is gone, and your rooms live on the Shares page alongside everything else you share.
  • NewPick the artwork color yourself. Any track or playlist without a cover image can now wear whichever of the 42 house gradients you choose. Open the artwork dialog, click a swatch, and the color follows it everywhere, from your catalogue to share pages to the preview image in a text message.
  • ImprovedA share's side panel now holds everything about it: who listened, what they said, and the contents, which you can edit right there without leaving the page.
  • ImprovedPeople wear their real avatar colours on share pages now, the same colour as everywhere else in the app, and every reply shows exactly which link and version it was said on.
  • NewContacts has its own page. People are a first-class part of your Locker now, with groups and import, no longer tucked away inside Messages.
  • ImprovedEverything said about a song shows on the song. The track inspector gathers every comment from share pages, rooms and briefs in one view, version by version, each labelled with who said it and which link they said it on. Playlists collect their comments too.
  • ImprovedMessages has retired. Conversation lives on your music now: share a link and replies land as comments on the song, while events reach you by ordinary email. Old conversations stay readable in a quiet archive, and nothing was deleted.
  • ImprovedRooms are now managed entirely from their side panel: open the conversation, flip who gets in, add or remove songs and playlists, and invite people, all in one place. Opening a room also shows its songs and their listening straight away.
  • ImprovedA room now reads like its songs: each one in its own card with the conversation pinned right on the waveforms, plus recent activity underneath. Feedback names the exact song and version it was said on.
  • ImprovedReplies now reliably wear the right avatar colour, even ones left before today, and a room can follow a whole folder again straight from its side panel, with its description and brand kit editable there too.
  • NewEvery contact now tells you where things stand: what you sent them, what they opened and played, when they last engaged, and the song they play most, right on their card and as ready-made views like "engaged recently" and "never contacted". A quiet contact says so honestly instead of showing nothing.
  • NewDeleting a contact is now reversible. They move to a Trash where their credits, groups and room memberships all survive, and you can restore them any time. Deleting forever says plainly what it costs.
  • NewListeners who gave their name on your share pages can join your contacts in one click, bringing their listening history with them onto their card.
  • ImprovedMaking a room now takes a whole contact group at once: pick the group and everyone in it is on the invite list.
  • ImprovedThe contacts page loads noticeably lighter, and names that arrived from imports wrapped in stray quote marks have been cleaned up, with the door they came through fixed.
  • ImprovedOn your phone, Contacts now reaches everything the desktop page has: the trash, restoring, and adding named listeners.
  • FixedAdd to Project now works from the playlist menu and the playlist bulk bar. The button was there; nothing was listening.
  • FixedDownloaded brief PDFs now carry the brand on every page, including the pages a long brief spills onto. Some of those were still white.
  • ImprovedPutting a brief into a project now shows up in your History like every other change.
  • FixedThe Comments email switch in Settings now actually stops the emails you get when someone comments in one of your rooms. It was being ignored.
  • SecurityYour storage allowance now applies to every kind of file you upload, not only songs. An older rule meant room covers, voice notes and artwork could slip past it.
  • SecurityA lookup Kii uses to narrow brief matches could be asked about another account’s songs by anyone holding the public app key. It now answers only about you.
  • FixedYour avatar is now the same colour everywhere: inside the app, on your rooms, on share pages and on invites. It used to be worked out differently on different screens, so you could be green in one place and blue in another. People without an account get one stable colour too, which may change once and then stay.
  • ImprovedInitials on avatars now follow one rule everywhere (first and last name), so the same person no longer shows different letters on different screens.
  • FixedFixed a bug where sharing a folder could later quietly take files, stems, videos and feedback away from the people you shared it with. Nobody had lost access yet; now they cannot.
v1.7.50•August 2026

Kii thinks before it speaks

  • FixedNotifications now say which day they are actually about. A day of plays and visits used to read "today" however old the notification was, so Wednesday's activity still called itself today's when you read it on Sunday.
  • FixedOn a link with more than one song, the title, the artwork and the list of songs now all read in the same order.
  • FixedStems now download with their file extension, so they open and play. They were saving as files nothing could read, and the in-app zip was labelling WAVs as MP3s.
  • ImprovedA share page now reads the same whatever you send. Every song shows its name, artwork and credits once, then whichever boxes the link includes: versions, stems, voice notes, lyrics or files.
  • NewSend a single stem straight from a song, using Send on that stem. The rest of the pack stays private.
  • FixedA link with more than one song now says who sent it, the same way a single-song link always has.
  • SecurityStems are only ever included in a link when you actually add them. Sending a song no longer carries its stem files along behind it.
  • FixedStems can be shared by link. Creating one used to fail every time, whichever way you attached them.
  • FixedA link to stems, a voice note, lyrics or files now shows the song it came from, with its title and artwork, instead of reading "Shared content" over a plain colour.
  • FixedSending stems from two songs at once now shows both, split like any other link that carries more than one song.
  • ImprovedA box of stems is labelled with your pack name, so the recipient sees exactly which set they were sent.
  • FixedThe download arrow on individual stems, files and voice notes is visible again on a computer. It was only ever showing on phones.
  • NewYou can send just the stems you choose. Pick the ones you want and the rest of the pack stays private, so sending a vocal never quietly hands over the whole session.
  • ImprovedA link that cannot be created now tells you why, rather than only saying it failed.
  • SecurityA share link now reaches only the songs actually in it, checked against who made the link rather than what the link claims. This applies everywhere a link turns into audio: streaming, downloads, stems, voice notes and files.
  • SecurityFeedback left through a share link can only land on the songs that link was for, so a comment can never be attached to a song it was not sent about.
  • SecurityTranscription, audio analysis and stem separation now confirm a file is yours before they touch it, so your unreleased music cannot be worked on by anyone else.
  • SecurityUploads through connected apps are checked when they are created, not only when they change, and the routine that clears out abandoned uploads now proves a file is yours before deleting anything.
  • ImprovedOur daily health check can now see when something goes wrong in the background. It could only see whether a job started, not whether it finished, so it had been reporting all-clear regardless.
  • NewA new Guides section answers the questions people actually ask about organising music, starting with an honest look at the best music cataloguing software. It names the real alternatives and says who each one suits, whether or not that turns out to be Locker.
  • ImprovedThree new comparisons, Locker against Google Drive, Notion and Songbox, covering the ways most people are keeping a catalogue today. Each one says plainly where the other tool is the better choice.
  • ImprovedTwo longer reads on the blog: what information every song should carry, and how to send unreleased music without losing control of it.
  • NewThe uploader can now file audio as a voice note. When a file is headed to a song you already have, the New Version badge becomes a choice: keep it as a new version, or add it as a voice note with the same transcript and history as one recorded in the app.
  • NewKii's replies now come as a clean, readable layout: the answer up top, honest facts as small pills, its top picks with plain reasons, and one clear next step instead of a wall of text.
  • NewKii now puts its deepest thinking into playlist picks, brief matches and pitching advice, for every user. Ask for a playlist and it curates a tasteful selection that respects what you asked for, rather than dumping every match into one giant list.
  • NewDrag and drop now works across Locker: drop songs onto a playlist, folder or project to file them there (instantly if they are already in your locker), drop an image onto a playlist cover to set the artwork, and dropping a file anywhere else opens the uploader instead of the browser navigating away.
  • NewLocker now tells you when a mix you bounced never made it into your catalogue. It appears with your other suggestions, says which machine or drive the file is on, and imports through the normal uploader when you say yes.
  • NewYou can play a suggested version before you add it, and suggestions on a song panel now show what you already have to compare against.
  • ImprovedThe tags you use when judging songs against a brief are yours to manage: edit, add or remove them in the Tag Manager and the brief room follows.
  • ImprovedLocker now understands your Google Drive folder structure, so organising by folders works there just like it does in Dropbox.
  • ImprovedWhen Locker suggests which song a project folder belongs to, it weighs your whole catalogue and stays quiet when it genuinely cannot tell, instead of guessing.
  • ImprovedNotes and comments on a song tuck into a tidy panel, each comment in its own card that says where it came from. The Sessions and Briefs panels gained real depth too, with cards raised on a quiet background.
  • ImprovedPlaylist pages got a polish: sharing avatars beside the name, a share button that opens the Shares hub, and songs landing in their playlist as soon as each upload finishes.
  • ImprovedA batch of Mac app polish: opening feels instant with a proper loading screen, right-click works everywhere, full screen no longer wastes space at the top, the window remembers its place across monitors, and everything runs smoother while playing from the menu bar.
  • ImprovedOpening a song inside a project now shows exactly what the song's own panel shows: the same Versions, Lyrics, Voice Notes, Stems, Videos, Sessions and Files sections, with recording and importing right there in the project.
  • ImprovedEvery artwork you upload now saves to your image gallery automatically, and you can add pictures to the gallery directly with its new Add images button.
  • ImprovedOur copyright policy now names a designated copyright agent and explains how to challenge a takedown, so you have a clear route if your work is ever removed by mistake.
  • ImprovedStarting a new zone now lives in the same New button as tracks, playlists, lyrics and voice notes, on desktop and on your phone. On mobile the create menu no longer changes depending on which tab you are on, so you can start anything from anywhere.
  • ImprovedAdding a song to a playlist, folder, project or zone now looks and works the same way every time: the same search, the same rows, and the same way to create the playlist or folder you meant to file it into. Adding to a folder or a project now works properly on your phone too.
  • NewYou can now file a song into several playlists, zones, projects or folders in one go. Tick everywhere you want it and the button tells you exactly what it will do. Anywhere the song already lives is marked Added, so you never add it twice by mistake.
  • ImprovedMaking a new playlist, folder or project while you are filing a song now opens the same New Playlist screen you get from the New button, instead of a different form depending on where you started. The window behind it dims and blurs so you can see where you came back to.
  • ImprovedSongs say how many versions they have the same way everywhere, with the blue version mark and the number, instead of three different styles depending on which screen you were looking at.
  • FixedShare page titles now size themselves to fit perfectly, so a long name never breaks in half.
  • FixedFixed the artwork menu closing itself before you could choose gallery or upload.
  • FixedPressing play now always plays the song you clicked. Anything that took a moment to load could previously start playing the last thing you listened to instead.
  • FixedConnecting Dropbox or Google Drive from inside the Mac app works properly now, and printing lyric sheets is back.
  • FixedDeleting your account now completes reliably, even on accounts with a long activity history.
  • FixedConfirmation pop-ups no longer take you to an error screen on your phone. Anything that asks you to confirm first, like deleting a song, emptying the trash or closing your account, now opens properly on mobile.
v1.7.49•August 2026

Voice notes grow up

  • NewImport audio files as voice notes. Voice Notes now has an import button beside the record button, so ideas captured in other apps can live with the song, with the same waveform, transcript and history as a recording.
  • ImprovedRecording starts the instant you press the mic, everywhere. That includes New, then Voicenote from the sidebar, which now opens the page already recording.
  • NewRecord music, not just speech, on your phone. A new music setting records in stereo at higher quality and turns off the phone-call processing that made instruments sound underwater. Set it once and every recording follows it.
  • FixedMarkers you add while recording now actually save with the note. They land at the moment you reached for the button, show on the live waveform, and can be renamed or removed at any time, including a custom name typed right in the marker menu.
  • ImprovedVoice notes are fully manageable from your phone: press and hold a note inside a song to rename, transcribe, send, download or delete it, and marker delete no longer needs a mouse.
  • FixedDeleting a voice note that lives on a lyric now sends it to the trash like everything else, so it can be restored. Deleted notes also stopped appearing as attachment options when you write a message.
  • FixedCollaborators with permission to record voice notes on a shared song no longer get an error when those notes transcribe.
  • FixedA transcription that fails on the server now says so and offers a retry, instead of showing Transcribing forever. Downloads also keep the correct file type for every format.
v1.7.48•August 2026

The brief block keeps up with you

  • ImprovedThe switch between a brief's document and its Songs list now sits in the block's title bar, so it is always in reach on a long brief.
  • ImprovedEvery song in a brief's Songs view now says what it is asking for: genre, mood, vocal, production and tempo pills, plus its notes and due date. No more flipping back to the brief to remember what you are hunting while you pick from your locker.
  • ImprovedSplitting a multi-artist brief into separate blocks now tells you exactly how many blocks it will create and asks first. One press of undo puts everything back.
  • ImprovedOn the phone, the Vocal and Production pickers now show proper coloured pills with a search, matching the mood and genre pickers.
  • FixedOnce you had picked a Vocal or Production requirement on a brief song there was no way back to Any. Both pickers now offer it, on desktop and phone.
  • ImprovedA brief block's controls moved up into its title bar and slimmed right down: copy the link, pick the brand, and one small menu with import, the brief room and settings. Pausing and closing the brief now live inside Link and brief settings. The roster block's controls moved up the same way.
v1.7.47•August 2026

A suggestion says what it means, wherever you meet it

  • FixedSuggestions now name the person a credit will actually land on, and show the spelling your source used underneath. A name Locker had already recognised as one of your contacts used to appear as a stranger being added, which made it look like the alias had not worked when it had.
  • NewPlay a suggested version before you add it from anywhere, including a song panel. Previously you could only listen inside the Knowledge hub, so the same file was audible in one place and silent in another.
  • ImprovedSuggestions on a song panel now show the versions you already have, so you can see what a proposed file would be joining, and let you drop a proposed name onto an existing credit to teach Locker the alias. Both were only available in the Knowledge hub before.
  • ImprovedAccepting a suggestion in the Knowledge hub now shows you the upload as it happens, with the file, the progress and the result. The card used to disappear the moment you clicked, so an import that takes minutes looked instant.
  • FixedOn a contact, "is this the same person?" suggestions now show the buttons that answer them, and dismissing one sticks instead of returning next time you open the panel.
  • ImprovedSuggestions in a Kii chat now let you credit the right person, instead of only accepting the card or hiding it.
  • FixedSome suggestions could not be reached by any filter in the Knowledge hub, and showed the wrong icon for what they were. They now sort and look like every other suggestion of their kind.
  • ImprovedKii answers now arrive as a clean, readable layout: the answer up top, honest facts as small pills, top picks with plain reasons, and one clear next step, all in Locker's own visual language.
  • ImprovedAsking Kii for a playlist now gets you a curated selection that respects what you asked for, like songs only, instead of every match dumped into one giant list. It also will not silently reuse a playlist name you already have.
  • ImprovedKii now talks about recommendations the way an A&R would: it leads with the picks it would actually send and explains each one in plain reasons, the sound, the voice, the tempo, whether it is unreleased, instead of quoting match percentages at you.
  • ImprovedBrief match scores are steadier on big documents: when a large brief makes the sound engine scale up, each search now waits for it instead of quietly settling for shallower scoring.
  • NewKii now understands what each brief is actually asking for. A request for sessions or writing camps gets a straight answer that they are not asking for songs, a request for beats only offers your instrumentals, and a sync request includes your released songs on purpose.
  • FixedBrief matching no longer hands out impossible perfect scores when a brief gives nothing musical to match on. Kii now says there is no direction to rank by and asks you for one instead.
  • FixedA brief search that hits a server error now says so on its card and offers a retry, instead of quietly looking like nothing matched. Failed searches also retry themselves once automatically.
  • ImprovedThe numbers in a multi brief answer now mean what they say: how many different songs matched across the whole document, and how many released songs were held back, counted properly.
  • ImprovedPlaylists created from brief matches now contain the exact version that matched, not whichever version happens to be first on the song.
  • FixedKii can now match a long brief. Asking it to find songs for a document with twenty or more requests used to run for a while and then give up, saying the connection had dropped. Kii now works through a brief a song at a time, so the length of the brief no longer decides whether you get an answer.
  • ImprovedIf a brief is too long to finish in one go, Kii tells you how much it covered and offers to carry on, rather than stopping partway without saying so. Anything it could not score is named instead of quietly appearing as no matches.
  • ImprovedFinding duplicate songs is now reliable on a large catalogue, and tells you plainly if it compared only part of it.
v1.7.46•August 2026

A suggestion you answer knows it was answered

  • FixedUpload the recording a Find audio card asked for and the card now retires itself, even when your file is named differently from the way your catalogue spells the song. Cards used to keep asking for recordings that were already in your Locker.
  • ImprovedThe uploader now knows which song you are answering. Writers, splits, publishing and the rest come from what your catalogue actually knows about that song, rather than being guessed from the filename, and each one tells you which sheet it came from.
  • ImprovedA song lands under the name your catalogue uses, and a banner at the top of the uploader shows you the song you are answering. One click keeps your file name instead if you prefer it.
  • NewAlready in your Locker? now appears on Find audio cards too, for songs that are already there under a different name. Point the card at the right song and it retires, with nothing to upload.
  • FixedWorking through a long list of suggestions no longer sends you back to the top. Showing more and then accepting one used to snap the list back to the first fifty.
  • ImprovedDelete a song that answered a suggestion and the suggestion comes back, so your catalogue never believes in a recording that is no longer there.
  • NewPlay any file a suggestion offers you, before you add it. Fourteen files called v4, v5, PCJK and NewVibe are impossible to tell apart by name, so now you can just listen. Files in your own folders play instantly, and files in Drive or Dropbox stream the opening on demand.
v1.7.45•August 2026

Every way a song arrives, one way it lands

  • FixedA song you accept from a brief now gets everything a song you upload gets: a proper title read from the filename rather than the raw filename itself, its version type, its tempo, key, genre and mood, and the sound fingerprint that lets it be found again.
  • FixedSongs that arrive without you dragging them in are analysed at last. Anything accepted from a brief, pulled in from Dropbox or Google Drive, added by Kii, or picked up by the Mac app was quietly skipping analysis, which also kept it out of brief matching and Find Similar.
  • ImprovedNames in brackets on a filename now become suggested writers wherever the song came in from, not only through the uploader. As always they are suggestions you confirm, never credits added behind your back.
  • FixedSongs that came in from somewhere other than the uploader no longer show a blank length. The duration was being worked out and then thrown away.
  • ImprovedAccepting a song now appears in your history the same way an upload does, and tells anyone you share your locker with that a song arrived.
v1.7.44•August 2026

The writing room learns music

  • NewPlay song: the writing room can now play your whole arrangement front to back, walking your sections in order and honouring their repeats.
  • NewEach section of a lyric can carry its own chords. Pick a section above the chord chart and the chart follows it, while Main stays the song's home.
  • NewA four lane sketchpad sits below the chord chart. Record into any lane, and the take saves so you can come back to it. Each lane can hold many takes, you choose the one showing, and when you play your chords every audible lane follows along. The sketchpad stretches each take to the tempo on your sheet, so you can change the feel and hear it work without re-recording.
  • NewTake your chords into the studio: export any sheet as a MIDI file or a plain text chord sheet.
  • ImprovedSongwriter tools are now three calm groups: Words, Music and Voice. The word tools share one search with five relations in a single row of chips, and the chord tools live together in Music with the key wheel, classic progressions and the piano a tap away.
  • ImprovedThe chord bar no longer docks under the lyrics editor. The Music group in Songwriter Tools is the one chord surface on every device, and the loop keeps sounding while you write, whatever the panel is showing.
  • ImprovedThe Co-Writer tool is taking a short rest while we rework it. Everything else in the lyrics editor is untouched.
  • FixedLong lists inside pop-ups scroll again. Your notifications, a playlist you are editing, the sharing panel and lyric version history all used to stop at the first screenful with no way to reach the rest.
v1.7.43•August 2026

A brief is one page, one desk, one world

  • NewA brief is now one page. What it asks for, everything in the running, and your shortlist read top to bottom in one place, with everything you do after choosing sitting along the bottom. Songs you keep float to the top of the song they answer.
  • NewBrief blocks in projects have a Songs view: the same desk the Briefs hub shows, so you can judge candidates without leaving the project. The badge on it tells you how many songs are waiting.
  • NewA brief someone sent you can now sit in a project as a block. Choose Work this with my team and it appears for everyone on the project, showing who it is from, when it is due, and the songs they want.
  • ImprovedA brief exists the moment you add its block, so Open brief always works and every match run is saved to it. Before, the brief was only really created when you opened its submission link.
  • ImprovedAsking people for songs is one thing now: a brief. The separate submission inbox is gone, and the old inbox links have quietly become briefs, so everything ever sent to you lands on one desk. The links themselves keep working exactly as before.
  • ImprovedKeyboard triage works on a brief again: J and K move through the pile, S keeps a song, Space plays it.
  • NewOn a phone, press and hold a song in a brief to select several, then keep or pass on them in one go.
  • FixedKii now reads a project brief exactly as it stands today. It had been scoring a snapshot from before the start of August, so edits since then were invisible to it.
  • FixedKii can now see briefs you have received, not just ones you wrote, and can tell you how each brief is doing: songs asked for, sent in, and awaiting review.
  • SecurityWhen a manager matches songs against a locker shared with them, demos accepted from strangers now stay out of the results, exactly as they do for the owner.
  • ImprovedEvery notification about a song sent in, or a brief link being visited, opens the brief it belongs to, wherever the door was.
  • NewEvery song a brief asks for now runs as a competition the whole team can see: Considering, Shortlist, Chosen and Out, with anyone able to move a song between stages and every move signed.
  • NewRate any candidate with one tap: Love, Good, or Not for this, with a one-line why. The team's favourites float to the top of each song's pile on their combined score.
  • NewComment on any candidate, and it lands in the same Comments panel the track itself shows, labelled with the brief it came from. Comment while a song plays and the moment is stamped on it.
  • ImprovedChoosing a song that was sent in brings it into your locker by itself. The separate Accept step is gone; whether senders get an email when chosen is a setting you pick once.
  • NewA brief can be closed: everything unchosen steps out of the running, senders are kindly told in one email each, and the desk stays forever as the record of who won and what everyone thought.
  • FixedShare links made by a collaborator from a locker shared with them now play and download properly, and the page names who shared them.
  • FixedWhen you send a song in answer to a brief, it arrives attached to the exact song it was answering.
  • FixedYour projects, playlists and show reels lists no longer count things you deleted long ago.
  • FixedYour corrections to a song's BPM, key, vocal type or production type now stick. Before, the next time that song was analysed it quietly put its own values back over yours.
  • ImprovedEditing one tag no longer locks the tags next to it. Add a genre of your own and it stays put, while the ones the analysis suggested are still free to improve as the analysis gets better.
  • ImprovedA tag you remove stays removed. The analysis will not keep putting it back.
  • ImprovedThe mark showing a tag is yours now sits on that exact tag, and on your own BPM, key, vocal type and production type too, so you can see at a glance which parts of a song you decided and which came from the analysis.
  • FixedRenaming a tag across your whole catalogue now lasts. It used to be undone the next time each song was analysed.
  • FixedTag changes show straight away. Adding, removing or swapping a tag no longer needs a page refresh before you can see it.
  • FixedA tag you removed can no longer reappear when you make your next edit. Because the old tags were still on screen, the following change was worked out from them and quietly put the removed one back.
  • ImprovedSong pages open a little quicker, because each version on screen no longer fetches information the app had already loaded.
v1.7.42•August 2026

Briefs work both ways, and keeping a song finally saves

  • FixedSplitting a song into its instrumental and a cappella works again. Since the end of July every attempt had been taking your credits and producing nothing. If a separation ever fails from now on, the credits come straight back to you.
  • SecurityYour private tag words stay private. Artist names, company names and collaborator lists you had saved as your own tags could be read by other people using the Claude connector. They cannot be any more.
  • SecurityKii cannot be tricked into offering you a misleading button. Text written by someone else, in a comment or an email reply, could persuade Kii to show a friendly looking button that quietly did something different from its label. That route is closed.
  • ImprovedShare activity now tells you when a visitor was actually asked for their name. If a link asks who is listening, the question only comes up when someone presses play, so a visitor who opens the page and leaves is never asked at all. That used to look identical to someone who was asked and said nothing. Your activity now shows the difference.
  • FixedBeing told your brief link was visited now opens that brief. It was opening your share links list, which does not even include submission links, so there was nothing there to find.
  • FixedA song sent in answering one of your briefs now opens that brief, where you can weigh it against everything else that came in. It was opening your messages instead.
  • FixedBeing told your whole locker submission link was visited now opens your submission inboxes rather than your share links.
  • FixedBeing told someone edited a lyric sheet that is not attached to a song now opens that sheet. It was dropping you on your track list.
  • NewYou are now told when your locker is filling up. A note arrives at 80 percent and again at 95 percent, and tells you how much room is left. These warnings were built but had never once reached anyone.
  • ImprovedYour storage total is now measured properly. The measurement had been failing silently since it was added, so the figure you saw could be out of date and plan limits were not being applied. If you are near or over your plan limit you will now hear about it, and uploads pause once you are full.
  • FixedThe Suggestions button in your notifications now opens Suggestions. It was quietly landing on your profile page instead.
  • FixedBeing told someone opened your share link now takes you to that share, matching what happens when you are told it was played. The two were sending you to different places.
  • ImprovedA notification saying several songs were added now opens your catalogue rather than picking one of them and hiding the rest.
  • ImprovedShare activity now opens from anywhere in the app, not only from the main pages. Every notification and every share button in the app now leads somewhere.
  • NewWhen you add a song to a locker you share with someone, they are now told. Anyone you have shared your locker with sees it in their notifications and can press it to open the song.
  • FixedPeople you share with now hear about the rest of your changes too. Renaming a song, adding lyrics, stems or a voice note reached nobody before, however you had shared it.
  • FixedYou are now told about changes other people make to your own songs. If someone you collaborate with added a version or renamed a track of yours, nothing ever reached you.
  • ImprovedAdding a lot of songs at once arrives as one notification rather than one per song, so a big upload no longer fills someone’s notifications.
  • FixedReloading now reliably brings your catalogue up to date. On startup the app was meant to re-check your songs against the server, but the check ran before the page was ready and quietly did nothing, so a reload could show you the same out of date list. This was also why the problem seemed to come and go at random.
  • FixedAdding a song no longer knocks another one out of your catalogue. Every time a song was added, restored from the bin, or shared with you, a different song could quietly disappear from your list until you reloaded. On a brand new locker, the very first upload could vanish while the counter still counted it.
  • FixedDragging a song onto a playlist shows it there straight away. It was being saved correctly but the playlist kept showing its old contents until you reloaded the page or restarted the Mac app.
  • FixedThe number beside a playlist now moves the moment you add something. Until now only removing a song updated it, so adding looked like it had not worked.
  • FixedSelecting songs in a brief now does something. The tick boxes were there with no action behind them, so choosing a few and looking for what to do next found nothing.
  • ImprovedSongs sent in and songs from your own catalogue now look the same and offer the same two choices, Keep or Pass, so you can weigh one against the other.
  • ImprovedA brief no longer searches your whole catalogue the moment you open it. You ask for it, one song at a time or all at once.
  • ImprovedThe submission link, and pausing it, moved to the top of the brief, so they are there whichever part of the brief you are looking at. A brief with no link yet offers to make one.
  • ImprovedA brief now tells you which project it lives in, and takes you there.
  • FixedKeeping or passing on a song in a brief now actually saves. It never has: every keep, every pass and every press of the S key was being refused by the database without saying so, so shortlists silently stayed empty.
  • NewOpening a brief now shows you the brief. Who is asking, by when, and every song they want with its sound and references. Before, you only ever saw its name.
  • NewA brief someone sent you can be read and corrected like any of your own. It never had an editor at all.
  • NewSongs that came in and songs from your own catalogue now sit in one list, so you can rank them against each other. Keep or pass is the only decision on either.
  • NewA new Shortlist tab holds what you kept, and that is where making a playlist, sending and downloading now live. They used to sit on songs nobody had judged yet.
  • NewOn a brief you received, a Sent tab shows what you put forward and what they decided about it: still waiting, accepted, or passed on.
  • NewYou can add a song to a brief straight from your catalogue by name, instead of running a search and hoping it comes back.
  • NewA brief you wrote now has its link, its pause switch and its room in one place, without going to find the project it lives in.
  • NewA brief someone sent you can be worked on with your team, if you choose. It stays private to you unless you say otherwise.
  • FixedThe briefs list shows your real briefs. It was showing dozens of test entries from an old version of the app, and every scrap of text ever pasted into a chat.
  • Fixed"Search my Locker for this" on a brief page now takes the brief in once and opens it, instead of doing it twice and telling you it was already there.
  • FixedSearching your catalogue against a brief no longer starts from scratch every time you switch tabs, and it starts on its own when you open the brief.
  • SecurityOnly the owner of a brief can delete it. Anyone who could merely open its project could destroy the whole thing.
  • ImprovedAccepting a song you kept no longer loses your decision about it, and a song someone sent you stops coming back later as one of your own.
  • ImprovedAccepting several songs at once now asks whether to email the senders and save them as contacts, the same as accepting one.
  • FixedKii can now see the songs in a locker someone has shared with you. Matching a brief, counting your catalogue and checking what needs attention all cover those songs, instead of telling you there is nothing there.
  • FixedClient zone listings show song names again. Every entry was appearing without one.
  • FixedFind Similar works when you narrow it by mood, genre or tempo. It was failing whenever any of those was set.
  • FixedLong names inside scrolling panels now shorten with a neat ellipsis instead of running past the edge. It was happening in every scrolling panel in the app.
  • ImprovedA playlist you share now names the writers and producers under each song, so whoever you sent it to can see who is behind every track without asking.
  • ImprovedA shared song leads with its writers and its producer, and a Full credits button opens the full list. Credits used to be listed alphabetically by role, which put A&R at the top and writers at the bottom.
  • FixedAn A&R credit now reads as A&R on a shared page, instead of A And R.
  • FixedThe song playing in a shared playlist shows a pause symbol, so it is clear that pressing it stops the music. It was showing a play symbol while the song was already playing.
v1.7.41•August 2026

Uploads are working again

  • FixedUploading files to a song you already have no longer sticks on "Checking upload limits". The upload stopped before it started, with no error and nothing to retry.
  • FixedTapping a chord in the Writing Room plays it again. The Circle of Fifths and the loop strip made no sound at all.
  • FixedEvery picture in your image library can now be used everywhere. Some of them, including your brand logos, did nothing at all when picked as a client zone cover, and were refused as song artwork.
  • NewA client zone can be opened to anyone with the link, so clients can listen without waiting for a code. Zones stay invite only unless you change it, and turning it off explains exactly what you give up.
  • FixedThe library now tells you truthfully where a picture is being used, including logos on a brand kit. It used to say a picture was used nowhere, in the warning whose whole job is to stop you deleting it.
  • FixedOpening a project now shows its blocks straight away. The first project you opened after loading the app used to sit on empty grey placeholders until you backed out and went in again.
v1.7.40•August 2026

Signing in on iPhone, and links that open where they should

  • FixedSign in with Apple now signs you into the iPhone app itself. It used to open a browser panel and sign you into the website inside it, leaving the app logged out.
  • ImprovedSigning in with Apple on iPhone now uses the Apple sheet built into iOS, with Face ID, instead of sending you out to a web page.
  • FixedTapping a Locker link on an iPhone can now open the app instead of always bouncing you to Safari.
  • SecurityLinks written by other people, and links suggested by Kii, are now checked before they can be tapped. Web and the Mac app were already protected; the iPhone app was not.
  • FixedA freshly installed iPhone app no longer replaces itself with an older version of the app moments after you open it.
v1.7.39•August 2026

The last fortnight of new work, now on your phone

  • FixedShare activity now opens on a phone. Tapping it on a song, a version or a listening notification used to do nothing at all.
  • NewA song's share story — who listened, where they replayed, the comments and the A-B compare — now has a proper page on mobile instead of being desktop only.
  • ImprovedShare links on mobile are grouped by song and open that song’s listening story, the same as on a computer. Tapping one used to drop you straight into its settings.
  • FixedSubmission inboxes are back in the Shares hub on mobile. The channel existed everywhere except the one place a phone could reach.
  • FixedYour image library can be tidied on a phone. Renaming, filing and removing a picture were hover-only, so on touch they were invisible, and there was no way to make a folder at all.
  • FixedA press photo on a brief can be removed on a phone. Adding and replacing worked; only taking it off did not.
  • FixedBrand kits can be set as default, duplicated and deleted on mobile.
  • FixedMessage attachments can be downloaded, previewed and removed on a phone again.
  • ImprovedMenus in the image picker, the brief block and the brand kit now open as the same bottom sheet as every other menu in the app on mobile, instead of a small desktop dropdown.
v1.7.38•August 2026

Briefs speak the same language as your catalogue

  • NewA brief can now ask for a mixed vocal or a rapped vocal. Those have always been things you could tag a song with, but there was no way to ask for one.
  • ImprovedThe vocal list on a brief is now the same single list you tag a song with, so a brief asks the question exactly the way the rest of Locker does.
  • NewA brief can ask for acoustic, electronic or mixed production, and matching takes it into account.
  • ImprovedEverything a brief asks for now uses the exact same words your songs are tagged with, so add a new tag and it becomes askable in a brief straight away.
  • ImprovedDropping in an outside brief now picks up its name and the reply-to address from the document instead of leaving both blank.
  • FixedAn imported brief no longer repeats its reference tracks as a wall of links in the notes. The references stay in their own clickable rows and the notes keep only what the sender wrote about the music.
  • FixedChoosing an instrumental on a brief no longer describes it as an "instrumental vocal" on the page and PDF your writers see.
  • FixedSongs marked as instrumentals are now correctly held back from briefs asking for a song, even when they have no vocal tag.
  • FixedTag lists no longer come up blank until you reload. If a list was ever empty for a moment, that emptiness could stick for the rest of the session.
v1.7.37•August 2026

Your tags add up again

  • FixedThe Tag Manager was counting only part of your library, so every number it showed was too low and a tag used once could show as unused. It now counts your whole catalogue.
  • FixedThe Tag Manager and the catalogue filters now show the same number for the same tag. Both count songs, so a tag on five versions of one song counts once.
  • NewEight instruments and four moods that the analyser has been detecting all along are now yours to pick, filter and manage. Synth is the big one: if it was already on your songs it was invisible everywhere until now.
  • NewSinger Songwriter is now a genre in its own right rather than being treated as Folk.
  • FixedThe Vocal Type panel in the Tag Manager was always empty. It now lists your vocal types properly.
  • FixedThe Credits panel and the Credits filter were missing about a third of the people credited on your songs.
  • ImprovedTags brought in by imports, the Claude connector and Kii are no longer quietly dropped when they are ones the analyser detects but the picker did not offer.
v1.7.36•July 2026

Submission inboxes: room for a real campaign

  • ImprovedSubmission inboxes now hold far more before they fill up, so sending a brief to a whole roster works the way you would expect.
  • ImprovedThe hourly limit on a submission link counts people rather than files, so someone sending you ten tracks no longer uses up everyone else's turn.
  • ImprovedIf someone is ever turned away from your inbox, it now shows up in your history instead of happening silently.
  • FixedThe Review submissions button in the arrival email now opens the conversation instead of a page that does not exist. The same fix applies to replies on shared links.
  • FixedTyping quickly in a brief no longer loses the field you just left.
  • FixedWhen Kii or the Claude connector accepts or declines a submission, the screen updates instead of leaving buttons that no longer work.
  • SecurityClosed a gap in the submission review screen that could have been used to reach files it should not.
  • SecurityAn invitation now grants access only once the person accepts it, rather than the moment it is sent.
  • NewBriefs are now something you send. Share a brief and it opens as a designed page: a cover, then a page per artist with their photo, what each song needs, and the reference tracks as real links. Writers read it and send their songs on the same screen.
  • NewDownload a brief as a PDF that wears your branding, so you can attach it to an email or hand it to someone who does not use Locker.
  • NewPreview a brief exactly as the person receiving it will see it, without it counting as a view.
  • NewYour brief now has a review desk. Songs that come in sit beside your own catalogue matches, songs you passed on stay visible, and every card says who sent it and when.
  • NewYour team can join in. Anyone who can open the brief's project can hear the songs, keep the ones they like and leave a note, and the desk shows how many people kept each song and how many have listened at all.
  • NewPass on a hundred songs at once, and everyone who sent you music gets one courteous note rather than one per file.
  • NewMove through submissions from the keyboard: space plays, J and K move, S keeps, and the next song starts on its own.
  • ImprovedDownload a submitted song to listen properly without accepting it into your locker first.
  • ImprovedSubmission inboxes now let you set a closing date, how many songs you will take, and how long unreviewed songs are kept.
  • FixedSongs you accept are now analysed for tempo, key and tags. This had never been running, which is why accepted songs did not show up in your brief matches.
  • ImprovedYour brief now opens with your logo, which holds the screen for a moment and then glides into place above the title, the same welcome your share links give.
  • ImprovedPick which brand a brief wears without leaving it. Colours and logo now sit in the brief itself instead of only on the Shares page.
  • ImprovedClearer buttons above a brief: import a brief, copy the submission link, preview it, review matches. Named for what they do and in the order you use them.
  • NewA brief now has its own title, so the heading can say what the project is rather than repeating your company name.
  • NewYour name and a reply-to email appear at the foot of a shared brief, so a writer can see who is asking and reach you in one click.
  • ImprovedBrief deadlines are a real date you pick from a calendar, and anyone submitting after it sees a friendly warning before they send.
  • NewEvery reference on a brief can carry a note explaining what you like about it, and imported briefs pick that up automatically.
  • NewWriters can play your reference tracks inside the brief instead of being sent off to YouTube mid-read.
  • ImprovedRequirements are grouped by genre, mood, instruments, tempo and vocal instead of one long row of tags, and tags in your brief now use Locker colours.
  • FixedThe send box on a shared brief now wears your branding instead of arriving as a plain white panel on your designed page.
  • FixedPages built on a light brand colour are readable again. Buttons, panels and comment pins were coming out dark on dark.
  • FixedThe opening title on a shared page is readable on light brand colours instead of near-invisible white.
  • ImprovedThe brand kit now shows a checkerboard behind your logo so you can see whether it has a see-through background, and no longer crops wide logos.
  • ImprovedA see-through logo now sits straight on your brief background instead of in a tile, and is never cropped.
  • FixedYour logo is never cropped anywhere, and Locker now looks at the logo itself to decide what sits behind it, so a light logo and a dark logo both stay visible whatever background you choose.
  • ImprovedIf you upload a logo with a solid background, the brand kit now tells you, so a picture that only looks see-through does not catch you out.
  • FixedUploading a logo or background image to your brand kit works again. It had started failing for everyone after a recent security tightening.
  • ImprovedEditing your brand from a brief now opens in place instead of sending you off to your profile settings.
v1.7.35•July 2026

Songs can belong to more than one person

  • NewYou can now invite someone to co-own a song. Once they accept, it lives in their locker too, reaches the people they share their locker with, and they help manage who is on it.
  • NewPeople with edit access can now add others to a song, like in Google Docs. You stay in control: a switch on each song turns this off, and only owners can remove people or change roles.
  • NewShared lockers are now editable in place, and each area gets its own level: make someone an editor of your tracks but only a viewer of your projects, with fine-tuning inside every area.
  • ImprovedShare permissions now match everything a song actually contains: files, stems, videos, voice notes, lyrics, versions, and notes and feedback each have their own setting.
  • ImprovedEverything anyone adds to a song is now stored with the song itself, in one home, so a collaborator leaving can never take pieces of your music with them.
  • ImprovedStorage limits are now enforced fairly and gently: going over never touches your existing music, the last upload of a session always saves, and you get early warnings before anything pauses.
  • ImprovedInvitations to a shared locker can be accepted right from the Shares screen, and ticking Projects when sharing your locker now actually shares your projects.
  • FixedThe Mine filter now reliably shows only your own songs when someone shares their locker with you.
  • FixedDeleting a song a collaborator had added files to no longer gets stuck.
  • FixedAccepting a suggestion no longer freezes the app while everything reloads. Accepting a credit now updates just that song, instantly.
  • FixedSuggestions you accept are now always recorded as your decision. A background check could previously overwrite them as already done.
  • ImprovedThe suggestion queue stays snappier while background checks run, and working through many cards in a row no longer slows the app down.
  • FixedSending a whole song now sends every version of it. Previously only the main one was attached, so instrumentals and acapellas were quietly left behind unless you added them by hand.
  • NewYou can now drag what you are sending into the order you want. Lead with the full bounce and put the instrumental and acapella underneath, and that is exactly how the share page, the email and the download folder come out.
  • ImprovedOne tap trims a send back down: keep just the main version, drop everything but the audio, or put it all back.
  • FixedVersion play buttons no longer stop responding after you change which version is main. Playback used to stick on the main version until you left the song and came back.
  • FixedSongs with several versions were showing the wrong version details in your catalogue. Around 200 songs had the genre, mood, tempo or key of a different version than the one marked main. All corrected.
  • ImprovedMarking a version as main now just moves the badge, and leaves your version order exactly as you arranged it.
  • NewEvery shared song now has its own story page inside Shares: a heatmap on the waveform showing where people listened and replayed, who has heard it across all its links, how far each person got, and timestamped comments pinned right where they were said.
  • ImprovedThe share links list now shows one row per song instead of one per link, so five links to the same track finally read as one story. Sort by recently updated, recently added, or name.
  • ImprovedA new Share activity option on tracks and versions jumps straight to that song's story, replacing the hidden analytics flip in the track inspector.
  • ImprovedYou can ask Kii things like what is the most played part of a song, which version held listeners longer, or whether someone listened all the way through, and it answers from the same numbers the app shows, honestly, including when there is not enough listening yet to say.
  • NewHeatmaps are now playable. Click anywhere on the wave to hear that exact moment, and every timestamped comment has a Hear this moment button that plays what they were talking about.
  • NewEach share link now has its own listening page: which versions that link's listeners heard, where they replayed, and only that link's comments, so different links to the same song tell their own stories.
  • NewCompare any two versions or links side by side, both playable, with a plain sentence on which one held listeners longer.
  • ImprovedThe share window grows when you open a song's listening view, tiny heat strips on the list show where the action is at a glance, and the numbers always say exactly which links and version you are looking at.
  • FixedShare links that ask listeners for their name now play. Pressing play on one of those links previously did nothing at all.
  • FixedWhen someone pins a moment in their reply, it now lands on the version they were actually listening to. On songs with several versions the comment could be filed against the wrong one.
  • ImprovedA song shared through a single link now names that link properly and lets you edit it straight from the listening view.
  • NewEvery song story now has a Comments section showing everything people have said about it. Replies sent without pinning a moment used to be recorded and never shown to you at all.
  • ImprovedA pinned comment now draws a clear line through the version it was left on, at the moment it was left, instead of a small dot above the wave.
  • FixedSongs shared through a lot of links now show all of them. Version and people rows quietly described only the twelve most recent links, so older ones were missing without saying so.
  • ImprovedThe listening view now updates itself while you watch it. New opens, plays and comments appear on their own instead of only when you close and reopen the panel.
  • FixedMulti-song links now show listening for every song on them, not just the first eight, and voice note plays, lyric opens and download counts are now exact however busy a share gets.
v1.7.34•July 2026

Your locker fills in what it already knows when you upload

  • NewTrack credits can now record master points: give anyone credited on a song their points on the record, choose net receipts or PPD, and even put different people on different bases when their deals differ. Totals stay per basis so the numbers always mean something.
  • NewDrop a spreadsheet of your catalogue in with your audio and the uploader reads it on the spot: writers, splits, status, location and publisher details fill in for matching songs while the files are still queued.
  • NewThe uploader now draws on everything your knowledge sources have taught Locker, and every pre-filled value shows where it came from, down to which spreadsheet said so.
  • ImprovedIf Locker already knows a song lives in your locker, uploading a new file of it suggests the right track straight away.
  • ImprovedOpen suggestions for a track now appear right inside the uploader when you add files to it, so you can settle them without a trip to the knowledge hub.
  • ImprovedSaying no now sticks everywhere: reject a writer, dismiss a name, or refuse a track match once, and Locker never asks you the same question again on any screen.
  • FixedCatalogue knowledge imported from spreadsheets was not reaching the uploader or the Missing tab for some time. It now flows through fully, including older imports.
  • ImprovedSpreadsheets with ISWC codes now use them to recognise when two sources describe the same song, which makes matching noticeably sharper for registered works.
  • FixedTyping writer splits by hand now works properly. Each number you enter stays exactly as you typed it, and the total line shows how much is left to allocate instead of rewriting the other writers for you.
  • ImprovedSeparations now finish safely even if you close the tab: your new versions appear when the work is done, and a failed run always gives your credits back.
  • FixedWaveforms now draw properly on separated versions, including ones created before this fix.
  • FixedSorting by Recently Updated now truly follows activity: upload a new version or change credits, lyrics or tags and the track moves straight to the top of the list, on desktop and on phones.
  • NewNew help centre guide: how to move your whole catalogue from DISCO into Locker, audio and credits included, with a printable PDF you can pass along.
  • NewSongs your catalogue knows about but has no recording for now appear as Find audio cards in your suggestions, carrying their writers and details, with one tap to upload the file and have everything fill in.
v1.7.33•July 2026

Submission inboxes: let people send music into your locker

  • NewNew submission inboxes: create a link anyone can send you music through, no account needed. Senders can drop up to ten tracks at once, and every file waits in a private review queue until you accept it.
  • NewAccepting a submission turns it into a normal track in your locker, analyses it automatically, and can save the sender as a contact.
  • ImprovedEach sender gets their own conversation thread, so replies, acceptances and kind declines all happen over email without leaving Locker.
  • ImprovedInboxes come with sensible protections built in: file type and size limits, sender rate limits, and automatic cleanup of anything left unreviewed for 30 days.
  • ImprovedSubmission inboxes accept AIFF files, and when a file cannot be sent the page now says exactly which file was skipped and why.
  • NewPoint a submission inbox at one of your briefs and every accepted track links straight to it. Kii and the Claude connector can now list, accept and decline submissions for you.
  • NewClient zones can include a send-me-files panel, so the people you work with can drop tracks straight into your review queue from their own room.
  • ImprovedAcceptance and decline notes are personal now: they greet the sender by name, say exactly where the song landed, and carry the track as a playable card. Saving a sender as a contact opens the full contact form, and submission pages wear your brand kit accent.
  • ImprovedEvery submitted file is a playable card wherever it appears, so you can listen and accept or decline right from your inbox or a message. Submission pages carry your full brand kit, and each inbox has a settings panel to rename it, attach it to a brief, and pick its brand.
  • NewBriefs become an A&R desk: turn on submissions and a send-me-tracks link appears on the brief itself, with everything that comes in shown next to your own catalogue matches, ready to shortlist, accept or decline in one place.
  • ImprovedSubmissions now live in exactly two places: on the brief they were sent to, or in a Messages conversation per sender. The brief block leads with its three real actions, import a brief, find matches, collect submissions, and accepting from a brief drops the track into that project too.
  • FixedRenaming a version now updates its name on the card straight away, instead of sticking to the original uploaded file name.
  • NewTurn any version into an instrumental and an acapella. One click separates the vocal from the music with studio-grade AI and saves both as new versions on the track. Each separation uses three analyser credits, and re-running the same version is free.
  • SecurityWe now promise it in writing: your music is never used to train AI models, and we never hand your audio to anyone else to train theirs. It is written into our terms as a binding exclusion, not a setting you have to find and switch off.
  • SecurityYour audio, catalogue and account records are stored in the United Kingdom, and audio analysis runs there too. Our privacy notice now says so plainly, along with exactly which suppliers we use, what each one does, and where they are.
  • SecurityOur cookie policy now describes what actually happens. Locker sets one cookie, to remember whether your sidebar is open. No advertising cookies, no tracking pixels, no following you around the internet.
  • SecurityOur terms now cover everything Locker actually does, in plain sections you can find: what sharing and revoking access really means, what happens to music people send to your inbox, what Kii can do on your say-so, what a connected AI assistant can reach, and exactly what deleting your account removes.
  • NewSee who actually listened. Switch on “Ask who’s listening” when you create a share link and visitors give their name before they play, so your share history shows real names and times instead of a row of anonymous viewers. It works no matter how the link reached them, including when someone passes it on.
  • ImprovedA name given once is remembered, so people you send music to regularly are only ever asked the first time. Listeners are told plainly, on the page, that you can see when they play it.
  • ImprovedAsk Kii who has listened to a track and it can now answer for people who have no Locker account, which is most of the people you pitch to.
  • FixedPlays started from the player bar at the bottom of a share page were never counted as listens. Every listen is now recorded wherever you press play, so your play counts are accurate.
  • FixedShare history used to say "Locker user" even when it knew exactly who someone was. It now shows their name.
  • FixedShare link activity had stopped being recorded entirely since mid-July, because of a fault in the part of Locker that logs it. Opens, plays and downloads are being counted again. Anything that happened during that window is unfortunately lost, but your numbers are accurate from now on.
  • FixedSeparately, activity from people without a Locker account was being discarded before it was ever saved. Since most people you share with have no account, this was most of your share activity. Now recorded properly.
  • ImprovedThe Create Link panel has been rebuilt: every setting says what it actually does, the Get Link button is docked at the bottom where Send lives so it never scrolls out of reach, and once your link is ready the panel tells you what it will do rather than a generic line.
  • FixedText boxes and form fields across the app were almost the same colour as the page behind them, which made them hard to see. They now stand out properly in both light and dark mode.
  • FixedLong file names on attachment cards now shorten in the middle and scroll on hover, keeping the end of the name visible, the same as everywhere else in Locker.
  • FixedShare pages showed a version name and its original file name side by side. They now show just the version name, with the original file name a hover away, matching the rest of Locker.
  • NewShare insights now lead with people. Every link shows who it reached, what each person did and when, warmest first, with anonymous devices counted honestly below and the raw event feed one click away.
  • NewRecognise a listener once and Locker remembers them everywhere. When someone gives a name you can link it to one of your contacts in one tap. Their past plays move onto that contact and every future visit is recognised automatically, on any link you send them.
  • ImprovedShare links now check the names you have already taught Locker. If a listener types a name you have linked before, their plays are matched to the right contact straight away.
  • NewPlayed now means listened. Share links record how long each visitor actually played, so next to each name you see real listening time instead of a bare play count. This also lays the groundwork for seeing which parts of a song get replayed the most.
  • ImprovedShare link panels are tidier: settings fold away until you need them, the people list leads, and linking a listener to a contact uses the same contact picker as the rest of Locker, including creating a new contact on the spot.
  • FixedPlays started on an already loaded track were counted as listening time but not as plays, and the share panel could briefly disagree with itself until a refresh. Every number on a share panel now comes from one place and stays current while you watch it.
  • ImprovedShare activity now reads like a story. You see an anonymous visitor arrive, the moment they give their name, and everything they do after that under their name, instead of a label repeated on every line.
  • FixedClicking a share activity notification now opens your share links at that exact share, expanded, with the people list showing, instead of doing nothing.
  • ImprovedAnonymous share visitors are now told apart. Each device shows as its own visitor with its own plays, listening time and downloads, and the activity feed follows each one as a thread, so three people no longer read as one.
  • NewShare activity now also shows when a visitor reads your lyrics, when they copy your link to pass it on, and exactly which file they downloaded.
  • NewEach share visitor now shows the type of device they used, their approximate country, and where they arrived from, such as Gmail or WhatsApp. Country is worked out from their device clock setting, so nobody’s network address is ever stored.
v1.7.32•July 2026

Clearer history, sharing polish and reliability fixes

  • FixedAdding a new version to a song now pre-fills its artist or pitch tag, and the artist name, just like the rest of its tags.
  • FixedAdding a new version can no longer quietly erase the artist name on a song, and no longer writes tag updates into your history when nothing actually changed.
  • ImprovedYour activity history now reads in plain English. Every entry says who did what to which song, in the same words everywhere, including in Kii chat answers.
  • ImprovedBackground housekeeping no longer clutters your activity history. What you see is what you and your collaborators actually did.
  • FixedYour own messages no longer show your name as if someone else sent them, and deleted songs keep their names in your history.
  • FixedYour briefs list loads reliably again when you are signed in.
  • FixedWhen a guest replies on a song you shared, your copy of their reply now shows the track it is about, both in the thread and the email.
  • FixedAsking Kii how your client zones are performing now gives you the numbers instead of an error.
  • FixedOn phones you can now play and open the menu on individual stems by tapping, not just on desktop.
  • ImprovedThe unsubscribe button in Gmail and Apple Mail now takes effect right away.
  • ImprovedYour share engagement numbers no longer count you looking at your own shares, so opens and listens reflect real listeners.
  • ImprovedEverything shared with you now lives under the sharer's name in your side panel, including their folders, projects and ideas, whether they shared one thing or their whole locker.
  • ImprovedPlaylists shared with you now appear inside the folders the owner organised them into.
  • NewPeople viewing a locker shared with them can now leave comments on tracks.
  • ImprovedNotifications now show who did what, by name, everywhere.
  • ImprovedKii now knows about the newer parts of Locker, including client zones, videos, show reels and shared lockers, and no longer says it cannot do things it can.
  • FixedOpening a lyric shared with you no longer silently accepts the collaboration invitation on your behalf.
  • SecurityPublic lyric shares no longer show your email address when you have not set a profile name.
  • ImprovedThe Weekly Digest page has left the account menu to keep things simple. Your week in review is moving to email instead.
  • SecurityPrivacy and reliability hardening across sharing and collaboration.
v1.7.31•July 2026

Share your whole locker

  • NewYou can now share your entire locker with someone you trust, like your manager or a writing partner. They see everything you include, now and in the future, without you sharing things one by one. Unlink at any time and their access ends instantly. Your locker always stays yours.
  • NewChoose exactly what a shared locker includes: tracks, playlists, folders, projects and ideas each have their own switch, and any track can be marked private so it never appears to anyone.
  • NewTracks from lockers shared with you appear in your own catalogue, clearly badged with whose locker they come from, and work with search and every filter.
  • NewA new Locker filter lets you view everything, just your own tracks, one person's locker, or everything shared with you, in one click.
  • NewThe Shares hub now shows both directions: what you share, what others share with you, and every pending invite and request, all in one place on desktop and mobile.
  • ImprovedAsking for edit access now works properly end to end. Owners can approve or decline in one tap and you always hear back either way.
  • ImprovedYour notification email preferences are now respected for every email we send, and new activity shows up in your notification bell instantly.
  • NewShared lockers can grant edit access too: trusted people can work on lyrics, files and voice notes on your tracks, and every change they make shows up in your history with their name on it.
  • NewAsk Kii to search a locker shared with you, like: find an uptempo idea in George's locker.
  • ImprovedTracks shared with you are clearly labelled everywhere they appear, and playlists now explain when a shared track is no longer available instead of showing a bare grey row.
  • ImprovedLive lyric co-writing is tougher on shaky connections: if the wifi blips, you and your co-writer resync automatically, and a small Reconnecting badge tells you when you are not live.
  • ImprovedOpening a lyric sheet connects the live session noticeably faster, and the first words you type can no longer be lost while it connects.
  • FixedRestoring an earlier lyric version now takes effect straight away for everyone who has the sheet open, instead of quietly snapping back.
  • FixedLyric edits made through Kii now show up in an open editor and keep your verses, choruses and chords intact.
  • FixedClosing the tab right after typing no longer risks losing your last edits, and lyric notepad notes now save automatically.
  • FixedVery long lyrics no longer risk silently failing to save on iPhone.
  • ImprovedSorting is now honest about what recent means. The new default, Recently Updated, moves a track to the top whenever you change it or add to it, like uploading a new version or editing lyrics, credits or tags. Recently Added still orders tracks by when they first joined your locker. Kii and the track picker use the same idea of recent.
  • NewTurn any version into an instrumental and an a cappella in one click. Both arrive as normal versions on the track, ready to play, share and pitch. A split uses one analysis credit, and re-running the same version is free.
v1.7.30•July 2026

Messages reach everyone you send them to

  • FixedTyping an email address straight into the To field now works properly. It used to be saved as the person's name with no address behind it, which meant they quietly never received anything.
  • FixedIf someone on your message has no email address, Locker now tells you before you send instead of reporting success and delivering to nobody.
  • ImprovedContacts with no email address are clearly marked in the recipient list, and picking one asks you for an address there and then.
  • ImprovedWhen a message does not reach someone, the thread now tells you who missed out and why.
v1.7.29•July 2026

A proper blog, clearer comparisons and better help

  • NewThe blog is live. First three pieces are on naming your bounces so you can find them later, what actually goes in a split sheet, and how to sort out a messy catalogue without losing a weekend.
  • FixedThe "notify me" box on the blog never actually did anything. It now genuinely signs you up, and tells you if something goes wrong instead of silently doing nothing.
  • NewNew side by side comparisons of Locker against Dropbox and against Disco, including an honest section on when each of them is the better choice for you.
  • ImprovedThe help centre got a proper rewrite. Eleven of the thinnest articles are now full guides, covering billing, payment methods, playlists, folders, stems, permissions and audio analysis.
  • ImprovedEvery page now has a clearer title and description, so a Locker link you share or find in a search result actually says what the page is.
  • ImprovedSharing a Locker link anywhere now shows a proper preview card instead of a small app icon.
v1.7.28•July 2026

A beautiful new look for share links and zones

  • NewThe chord loop actually sounds played now. Ten ways to play your chords, from sustained and strummed to folk strumming, fingerpicking, arpeggios, a ballad feel and a waltz.
  • ImprovedGuitars sound like guitars. Strums now sweep across the strings the way a real pick does, instead of hitting every note at once.
  • ImprovedYour chords now flow into each other instead of jumping around. Locker picks the shape closest to the chord you just played, the way a real player barely moves their hands.
  • NewNine instruments to write against: piano, electric piano, acoustic, nylon and electric guitar, organ, strings, harp and marimba.
  • NewTime signatures. Write in 3/4, 6/8, 5/4 and more, with the metronome counting the bar properly and the chord chart showing the right bar lines.
  • NewHear a chord progression before you take it. Every suggested progression now has its own play button, written into your song key.
  • ImprovedSkip through instruments and playing styles one at a time with the plus and minus buttons, so you can find the sound you want without opening a menu.
  • FixedPreviewing a progression and playing the loop no longer sound over each other. Whichever you start last takes over.
  • FixedPlaying styles and the metronome now follow your time signature properly. In 3/4 or 6/8 the groove lands on the downbeat of every bar instead of drifting.
  • NewA numbered bar grid above your chord chart shows where each bar falls, so you can see at a glance whether your chord lengths line up with the time signature.
  • FixedChanging the tempo while the loop is playing no longer makes all your chords fire at once.
  • FixedComing back to a tab you left in the background no longer causes a burst of catch up clicks and chords.
  • FixedThe chord tools no longer stop your loop when you switch to a different songwriter tool, and both places you can reach them now agree on what is playing.
  • NewChords in your chart are now colour coded by their number in the key, so you can see the shape of a progression at a glance and spot a chord that comes from outside it. The suggested progressions use the same colours, so you can see what you are about to get.
  • NewDrag chords into a different order right in the chart, with the others sliding smoothly to make room.
  • ImprovedThe chord chart now fills the space properly, and the number of bars follows as you drag.
  • FixedThe playback line now jumps straight back to bar one when the loop repeats, instead of sliding back across the chart.
  • FixedChords with sharps and flats now print correctly in downloaded PDFs instead of coming out as stray symbols.
  • ImprovedChord progressions now live in one place instead of two, so there is no guessing which list to use.
  • FixedThe Circle of Fifths minor ring works now. Tapping a minor key selects that key instead of its relative major, and it can find minor keys from the chords you pick.
  • FixedChanging key now spells your chords the way that key is normally written, so a flat key shows Bb rather than A sharp.
  • ImprovedChord lengths are much easier to adjust. The drag handles between chords are far bigger targets, and you can now drag the right hand end of the last chord to make your progression longer or shorter, with the bar count following as you pull.
  • ImprovedThe chord tools in the lyric editor have been rebuilt. Key and tempo are now clearly labelled and readable, the tempo no longer gets cut off, and you can nudge it with the arrow keys or tap it in.
  • NewChords now show their place in the key underneath them, so a progression reads as vi IV I V at a glance and keeps making sense after you change key.
  • ImprovedThe chord chart now shows bar lines and beats, and a playhead sweeps across it as the loop plays, so you can see where you are in the bar.
  • NewCommon chord progressions are now one tap away from the chord bar, written into whatever key your sheet is in.
  • NewSevenths, sus chords, add9 and slash chords like F/A now work everywhere, and slash chords play with the right bass note underneath.
  • ImprovedDragging a chord onto a lyric line finally shows you where it will land: the word lights up before you let go, and the chord you are dragging looks like the chord that lands.
  • FixedOn phones, the chord tools now live in Songwriter Tools instead of squashed at the bottom of the screen, so key, tempo, playback and your progression are all properly reachable.
  • FixedFocus mode no longer gets covered by the Songwriter Tools panel. The writing area now makes room for it instead.
  • FixedYour searches and filters in Songwriter Tools now stay put when you switch between tools instead of resetting every time.
  • FixedFixed the Piano tool playing notes while you were typing lyrics.
  • ImprovedFind Similar now thinks like Kii: results are ranked by the same taste intelligence that powers briefs and recommendations, not just raw sound-alike maths.
  • SecurityThe services that analyse your audio and power sound search are now on fully up to date, security patched foundations, with every part of them locked to a known good version so future updates can never quietly change how your music is analysed.
  • SecurityLive co-writing sessions now run over private, authorised channels, so only the people invited to a lyric can ever join it.
  • FixedKii now answers storage questions with your real usage instead of reading zero.
  • ImprovedThe app stays fast while Locker learns your catalogue in the background. Knowledge updates now touch only what actually changed instead of rebuilding everything, so editing a lyric doc or syncing files no longer slows the whole app down.
  • ImprovedThe Knowledge suggestions page loads much lighter and reviewing suggestions feels snappier, especially with a large pending list.
  • FixedFixed a background sync loop that kept re-checking the same connected files around the clock without learning anything new.
  • ImprovedOpening a playlist you visited moments ago is now instant instead of re-fetching everything every time.
  • ImprovedKii now understands track names the way you type them. Ask it to play or find similar to a song with a typo, a partial title, or slightly different spacing and it finds the right track, tells you what it matched, and only asks when two songs are genuinely close.
  • ImprovedTag filters speak your language too: ask Kii for hiphop tracks and it finds Hip Hop, ask for chill and it finds Chilled, always telling you how it read you.
  • ImprovedThe first sound search of the day is no longer the slow one: Kii now keeps its listening engine warm around the clock, and refining a brief no longer re-does work it already did.
  • NewAsk Kii for a sound, not just tags: "find me a dreamy intimate piano ballad" now ranks your whole catalogue by how songs actually sound.
  • ImprovedSearch forgives typos everywhere: one letter off in universal search or with Kii still finds your song, clearly marked as a close match.
  • ImprovedWhen a search finds more than it can show, you now get the best or newest results first, and Kii tells you which ordering it used.
  • FixedBrief matching through a connected Claude now hears your actual recordings again. A wiring fault meant connector-side brief matches were judged on tags alone; they now use the same full sound matching as the app.
  • FixedSongs in your Trash no longer sneak into Find Similar, suggestions, or brief match results.
  • FixedCatalogue stats and the full completeness report work again for large catalogues.
  • ImprovedPitch shortlists are honest everywhere now: when already-released songs are held back, Kii tells you how many, and you can ask to include them.
  • FixedMatch explanations tell the truth about audio analysis: songs with analysed sound are never mislabelled as not analysed yet.
  • NewConnect Claude to your Locker. On any paid plan, open Profile, then Connections, and add Locker to Claude in three quick steps. Claude can then search your catalogue, check credits and splits, build playlists and more, right from your conversation. It always asks before changing anything, every action it takes is listed in your History with the app named, and you can disconnect it with one click.
  • NewStart a message with nothing attached and Locker now suggests the people you actually work with, showing how many tracks you have together.
  • ImprovedAdding credits is quicker: the contact picker now puts your usual collaborators for that role at the top of the list.
  • NewLocker now tells you when a share gets played: one tidy notification per share each day, with the count rising as listens come in.
  • NewKii starts each chat knowing what happened since you last spoke, from new listens on your shares to feedback waiting on a track, and mentions at most one thing when it helps.
  • NewA new weekly digest sums up your week and shows what Kii noticed while looking after your catalogue. Quick reactions teach it what to bring up next.
  • ImprovedThe Weekly Digest now has a home: open it any time from the user menu on desktop, or from the Account page on your phone. A Monday email brings the highlights to your inbox.
  • NewBrief matches are remembered now. Every shortlist is saved to your Briefs automatically, you can ask Kii for last week's shortlist, and your judgements stick: pin a track to keep it on the working list, set one aside and it never comes back on a re-run.
  • ImprovedWhen someone edits lyrics you share, you hear about it: one tidy notification per writing session, and the session shows up in History.
  • ImprovedKii can answer things it could not before: what sections and chords a lyric sheet has, everything about one contact in a single question, how a client zone is performing, and whether an unreleased track is exposed in any zone, including through folders.
  • ImprovedComparing a folder of files against your catalogue now survives typos and tells you when you have the song but are missing that particular version.
  • NewYour knowledge review queue now believes your behaviour: songs you actually play float to the top, and every boost says why, like "played on 6 days recently". Facts like credits and splits are never touched by this.
  • ImprovedThe knowledge system can hear now. When two entries are secretly the same recording, even under different spellings, Kii tells you instead of treating them as strangers. Nothing merges without you.
  • ImprovedSearching an old working title now finds the real song when your imported history knows both names.
  • NewBriefs with deadlines now stay live. When new songs land that match an open brief, Locker tells you: one tidy notification naming the brief and the tracks. Close the brief with one tap and the checks stop.
  • ImprovedShare analytics now count what actually happens, not just page opens: real plays and file downloads are recorded, track by track, on both share links and client zones. So the Views, Listens and Downloads on a share finally tell the truth about who is engaging with your music.
  • NewAsk Kii whether someone has actually listened: it joins what you sent a contact with their listens, visits and comments, and is honest when anonymous plays can't be matched to a person.
  • ImprovedTag suggestions now come from how your music actually sounds, drawing on acoustically similar tracks, and stop suggesting tags you keep removing.
  • FixedKii no longer loses the thread on long tasks. It now keeps every step of the job you are in the middle of, so big multi-step requests finish with the full picture instead of Kii quietly forgetting what it already found.
  • ImprovedEverything you plug into Locker now lives in one place. The new Connections tab holds both your AI apps like Claude and your file imports from Dropbox, Google Drive and local folders, so there is a single home for anything connected to your catalogue. Connecting a drive is now available on your phone too.
  • ImprovedTidied up the settings area so every section is named the same everywhere you look, on desktop and on your phone.
  • NewYour knowledge system can now explain itself. Ask Kii, or a connected Claude, what it believes about your songs and collaborators, how confident it is, which facts came from which import, and where your sources disagree.
  • SecurityConnected AI apps work inside strict guard rails: they sign in through an approval screen you control, changes always show you a preview first, and destructive actions are simply not available to them.
  • FixedSelect All on your phone now selects only the tracks you are looking at. Before, it could quietly select your entire library even while you were inside a folder or a search.
  • ImprovedThe phone app now speaks fluent touch: swipe down to close the full player, swipe left or right on it to change tracks with a smooth slide, swipe up on the mini player to open it, swipe sideways on it to skip, swipe in from the left edge to go back, swipe the menu closed, and drag along any waveform to scrub through a song.
  • ImprovedOpening the player is now one continuous motion: the little artwork in the corner grows into the big artwork, and shrinks back down when you close it.
  • ImprovedShare links feel just as fluent for the people you send them to: on a phone, they can swipe the player left or right to change tracks, swipe down to close it, swipe up on the bottom bar to open it, and see the artwork grow from the corner into the full player.
  • ImprovedShare pages now colour the browser itself: the top of Safari or Chrome blends into your page design and the area around the player stays a clean black, so a shared link looks polished edge to edge on any phone.
  • ImprovedMessage threads swipe like Mail on your phone: swipe right to archive, left to move to trash, with a clear colour telling you what will happen before you let go.
  • NewYou can now reorder playlists on your phone: choose Edit Order, hold and drag songs into place, and tap Done.
  • ImprovedDozens of small touches across the phone app: cards respond to your finger, lists and tabs fade in smoothly, selection mode animates into place, and the player glows and moves with your music.
  • ImprovedPull down on any list on your phone to refresh it, just like your other favourite apps.
  • ImprovedGentle vibrations now confirm your taps on phones: selecting items, play and pause, finishing an action. Quiet feedback that makes everything feel more certain.
  • ImprovedHold your finger on almost anything on your phone to act on it: projects, zones, songs inside a playlist, even items in the Trash. Restore or permanently clear trashed items, archive projects, pause zones, and more, all without leaving the list.
  • ImprovedThe track inspector is friendlier to thumbs: bigger buttons everywhere, version selection that works by touch, tags you can tap to edit, and lists that scroll smoothly instead of catching on cards.
  • ImprovedThe full-screen player now glows softly in each song's own colour, and every message action bar shows the right choices for the folder you are in.
  • NewEvery track card on your phone now shows its real waveform. Tap anywhere on it to play from that exact spot, and watch it fill with colour as the song plays, just like on desktop.
  • ImprovedThe phone app has a fresh sense of depth: a softly tinted background lets your music cards float, and each track and playlist tile now glows gently in its own colour.
  • ImprovedCards across the phone app now share one clean shape: title up top, the useful details beneath, and the key fact (song length, track count, or date) always in the same spot on the right.
  • FixedThe zones section in the phone menu is now named All Zones, matching desktop.
  • FixedOpening a project now shows its blocks reliably on the first try. Before, a project could sit on loading placeholders until you left and came back, especially on phones.
  • ImprovedThe project screen on phones is tidier: the project name and its status pills share one line, and every action sits together on the row below.
  • ImprovedLyric version history is now available on phones: open any lyric and tap the history icon to preview and restore earlier versions.
  • ImprovedWriting a lyric with someone now looks the way it should. When a co-writer is in the doc you see a slim cursor in their colour with their name on a small flag, and their selection gently tinted, instead of the old heavy highlight. Their avatar sits next to Saved while they are there and disappears cleanly the moment they leave.
  • FixedRestoring an earlier version of a lyric now sticks, even with the live collaboration editor open. Before, a restore could quietly revert to the newer text the next time you opened the lyric.
  • FixedThe page insights panel no longer spills off the edge of phone screens.
  • NewYou can now work with chords in the lyric editor on your phone: a Chords tab suggests chords in your song's key, tapping one places it at the cursor, and tapping any placed chord lets you edit or remove it.
  • NewYou can now upload music from your phone: tap the plus button and choose Upload Audio. The full import experience fits phone screens, including setting each version type before it uploads.
  • NewYour Brand Kit is now on phones: find it in Settings, edit colours, logo, background and links, and check the result with a full-screen preview. It also has a new home in the account menu on desktop.
  • ImprovedProject cards on phones are more compact and now show the full set of project tags (status, type and priority), not just the status.
  • ImprovedSearching projects on your phone now offers the same tag filters as the music page: tap Status, Type or Priority chips to narrow the list instantly.
  • ImprovedOn phones, project text editing now works exactly like the lyric editor: a small bar with bold, italic, underline and Format floats above the keyboard while you type, and Format opens the full formatting sheet with font, size, alignment, lists and more.
  • FixedChanges made on one device now appear on your other devices right after a refresh. Before, a reloaded tab could keep showing an old copy of your catalogue for hours.
  • ImprovedIdeas without names now show their first lyric line as the title and a real preview of the words, instead of a wall of untitled cards.
  • ImprovedThe Trash is now available on phones: restore tracks, playlists, zones and lyrics from the menu, just like on desktop.
  • ImprovedKii's welcome suggestions now fit your device, so your phone no longer offers desktop-only tools like comparing hard-drive folders.
  • ImprovedYour brand logo now opens the intro on share links and client zones: it appears first, then flips to reveal the artwork, which glides into place. The pages themselves stay clean, so the logo is a moment rather than clutter.
  • ImprovedBrand logos and backgrounds now load instantly on your shared pages, and logos you upload are automatically optimised (right-sized and compressed) so they stay crisp and quick.
  • ImprovedBrand kit backgrounds set from an image now have an opacity control, so you can fade a busy image back until your text reads cleanly.
  • FixedOn Safari, the player bar at the bottom of a share page now stays anchored when you resize the browser window, instead of getting cut off.
  • ImprovedClient zones can now have their own social links that override your brand kit. Set unique profiles for different clients while still inheriting from your kit by default.
  • ImprovedThe zone editor now saves as you go instead of needing a save button, with a quiet indicator showing when changes have been saved.
  • FixedTurning branding off on a share link or zone now really turns it off: instead of your brand colours and social links, the page shows a clean default that takes on the song’s own colour, a deep tinted canvas unique to each track, with the accent drawn from the artwork. Your name stays so people still know it came from you.
  • ImprovedPlaceholder artwork got a full palette upgrade: 42 colours spanning the whole spectrum instead of 10, so songs without covers repeat far less often, and share link previews always match the colour you see in the app.
  • ImprovedShare pages got a complete visual upgrade: a rich dark canvas drawn from your artwork, an oversized title, your music front and centre, and a real waveform on every version that fills with your accent colour as it plays.
  • ImprovedZones share the same new look while keeping their side panel, live presence and in-context comments, so both feel like one polished product.
  • ImprovedOne clean player docked at the bottom, one type style throughout, and smooth motion as the page loads. Everything is designed to make your work look like a proper release.
  • ImprovedA cinematic open: the artwork glides into place as the page assembles itself, in your brand colours.
  • FixedAccent colours now render exactly the shade you pick, all the way across the colour wheel, on your play buttons and waveforms.
  • ImprovedYour social links now sit neatly beside your name on the share, as one tidy credit line instead of a separate strip.
  • ImprovedA cleaner, centred layout on phones, with the brand editor preview now matching exactly what your recipients see.
  • FixedLong version names now stay on one tidy line and scroll to reveal the full name when you hover, instead of stretching the row.
  • FixedOn phones the page now runs edge to edge in your brand colour, with no thin light strip around the corners.
  • ImprovedReply to a song someone shared with you and it now lands right on the track as a comment, with an optional timestamp pin so feedback points at the exact moment.
  • ImprovedAll the feedback on a song now lives in one place, and you can mark each note resolved.
  • ImprovedYou get a notification and an email the moment someone leaves feedback.
  • ImprovedClient zones now share the same cinematic look as share links: your brand background across the room and the opening screen, and the page assembling itself as it opens.
  • ImprovedDeleting a client zone now moves it to Trash instead of removing it for good. The client loses access right away, but you can restore the zone and their access if you delete one by mistake. Trashed zones live in your Music trash, next to your zones.
  • NewLyric sheets now keep a version history. Each editing session is saved, and a new Version history button lets you look back at earlier versions and restore one. When you go to restore, you see that version's words first, so you know exactly what you are bringing back. Restoring also saves your current words, so you can always change your mind.
  • FixedTracks you send as message attachments now carry their artwork, status and location again, so the person receiving them sees the full picture.
  • FixedExporting your catalogue to CSV now fills in each track's duration.
  • FixedArtwork now shows on the track previews inside a client zone.
  • ImprovedImporting contacts from a spreadsheet reads your actual data when it maps the columns, so it guesses names, emails and roles more accurately.
  • NewThe uploader now reads the version type straight from your filenames. A file called "song master.wav" arrives labelled Master, "jkv2.0" arrives as Demo 2.0, and you can change any label with one click before uploading.
  • ImprovedFiles without a recognisable type show up in the "unresolved" list with a one-click way to label them all, so nothing slips through untagged.
  • SecurityYour share links and client zones are now closed off to search engines and AI crawlers. Anything you send from Locker stays between you and the people you sent it to, so unreleased music can never turn up in a search result or get swept into an AI training set. Link previews in Messages, WhatsApp and Slack still look exactly the same.
  • ImprovedThe help centre and the rest of the Locker site can now be read properly by search engines and AI assistants, so it is easier to find answers about Locker without digging.
  • ImprovedThe main version of each song is now picked by maturity: a Master beats a Demo, and version 2.0 beats 1.1, instead of whichever file happened to load first.
  • ImprovedNaming habits you have taught Locker now pre-fill the status, location and artist tags when you upload, with a little note showing the value came from your rule.
  • ImprovedTracks received from other Locker users keep their version labels when you add them to your catalogue.
  • ImprovedRenaming or labelling a version in the uploader now sticks even if you add more files afterwards.
  • ImprovedBig imports feel lighter: the uploader only draws the cards on screen, so dropping a huge folder stays smooth.
  • ImprovedResolving a name now starts with that name already typed into the search, in the uploader and in suggestions. Matches show instantly, and creating a new contact is one click when nothing matches.
  • FixedYour history now correctly shows uploaded songs as imports rather than manual edits.
  • NewThe lyric editor is now a writing room: set the key and tempo of the sheet, build a chord loop you can actually hear, and drag chords right onto your lyric lines so they sit above the words.
  • NewThe Circle of Fifths plays out loud and suggests chord progressions that fit your key, and changing the key transposes your loop to match.
  • NewA focus mode strips everything back to just you and the words, and a Triggers tool tosses you related words when you are hunting for the next line.
  • ImprovedPrinting or saving lyrics as a PDF now keeps your chords and section headers on the page. Selecting several ideas prints them as one document, a sheet per page.
  • FixedImported lyric documents now arrive as normal, fully editable text. Section headers found in the document are just lines you can edit, not locked grey labels.
  • ImprovedTurning any lyric into structured sections is one tap in the editor, with a preview first, and switching back to plain text keeps every word.
  • FixedVerse and chorus headers now show up on shared lyrics, in client zones and on printed sheets, instead of the words appearing as unlabelled blocks.
  • FixedSearching your catalogue no longer matches hidden formatting or chord letters inside lyrics, so results only reflect words you actually wrote.
  • NewDownload a lyric sheet as a plain text file or a PDF, straight from the editor. The PDF keeps your chords above the words, your section headers, and your bold and italics.
  • FixedPrinted and downloaded lyric sheets now keep the blank lines between your sections, and the title and writer names line up with however you have laid the words out.
  • FixedThe tempo box in the writing room can be typed into properly. It used to snap to the lowest tempo the moment you started typing.
  • FixedShare links that were missing parts of their contents, like lyric sheets, now show everything that was shared. This applies to links you have already sent as well as new ones.
  • SecurityShare links are now locked on our servers to exactly what you chose when you created them, so a link can never reveal tracks, versions or files you left out of the share.
  • ImprovedKii can now see your Brand Kits, so you can ask it which kits you have and what each one contains.
  • FixedSearching your projects list no longer crashes the page when no projects match.
  • FixedKii chat no longer crashes while a reply is still arriving.
  • FixedOn your phone, an empty Projects screen now has a Create Project button instead of just telling you to make one.
  • ImprovedThe Ideas space now welcomes you with a clear starting point and a one-tap way to capture your first idea, instead of an empty screen.
  • ImprovedNew to Locker? Kii now opens with things you can actually do on day one, and the getting-started checklist sticks around while you explore.
  • ImprovedAdding music from Dropbox or Google Drive before connecting them now takes you straight to the connect screen, instead of a dead end.
  • FixedThe contact form on our website now reliably delivers your message to us, and tells you clearly if anything goes wrong. Every message is also kept safely on our side, so nothing you write can get lost.
  • SecurityTrack credits and splits can now only be changed by a track's owner and invited editors. People you share music with can still see credits, but can no longer edit them.
  • ImprovedMoving a version to the trash now shows up in your History, like every other change to your catalogue.
  • FixedAdding a batch of pending files to your locker in one go now works reliably. Bulk imports used to fail while single files worked.
  • FixedStem lists now appear in project track previews.
  • FixedSetting the key on several songs at once from Kii results works again, and Kii results for messages and threads now show the right labels and actions.
  • FixedCollaborative lyric sessions recover more gracefully when the connection hiccups.
  • FixedContacts who are on Locker now show their Locker badge when you pick message recipients.
  • FixedThe play button on Kii track results and message attachments works reliably again.
  • ImprovedAsk Kii what key or tempo a song sheet is written in, and how many songs sit in each stage of your pipeline. It reads your writing settings and status board directly.
  • FixedWhen Kii suggests that a name in your catalogue is one of your contacts and you tell it no, it now remembers your answer, so the same suggestion stops coming back.
v1.7.27•July 2026

Your brand on everything you share

  • NewBrand Kits: set up your identity once, with your name, colours, background and social links, and every share link you send automatically wears it. Create as many kits as you like and switch between them when you share.
  • NewShare pages now carry your branding end to end: your backdrop behind the music, your accent colour on the play buttons and waveforms, your name up top, even on the password screen.
  • ImprovedZones can start from your brand kit too, while keeping their own cover image, note and links on top.
  • NewReview suggestions in bulk: group the list by song, source, import batch or folder, and accept or clear a whole group in one go.
  • ImprovedLong-shot credit guesses (like bare initials from a filename) now sit folded in their own "weak signals" group at the end of the list instead of crowding the real suggestions. They are always one tap away, never hidden.
  • NewChanged your mind? Rejecting a suggestion now offers an Undo right in the confirmation, and it genuinely comes back, including in future scans.
  • ImprovedEach connected source now shows how many suggestions it produced and how many are waiting for review.
  • NewWhen a background scan finds new suggestions, you get a notification telling you how many and the top find, and anything Locker organised for you automatically now shows up in your notifications too.
  • ImprovedDates in file names are now read the way each of your sources writes them, so a collaborator who names files the American way no longer gets their session dates flipped.
  • ImprovedScans and syncs from your connected folders now appear in your History, so you can see when Locker looked at your files and what it found.
v1.7.26•July 2026

Sturdier everywhere you click

  • FixedTyping in a track's notes no longer fights the catalogue underneath: arrow keys and every letter now land in your note, and Enter can no longer close the panel you are typing in.
  • FixedKii actions clicked from a project page now always open the Kii panel and run where you can see them, and never run twice.
  • ImprovedDragging a card on the status board no longer reloads your whole catalogue behind the scenes, so drags feel instant even with a big library.
  • FixedDeleting one of your statuses now only ever touches your own active tracks, and the "how many tracks carry this" count is accurate.
  • FixedOpening a shared link on a weak connection now offers a retry instead of wrongly telling you the link is dead.
  • ImprovedIf a list fails to refresh in the background, whatever was already on screen stays visible instead of being replaced by an error card.
  • ImprovedOne consistent look for every confirmation message across the app, including downloads from the player.
  • ImprovedBetter keyboard and screen reader support: row controls appear when reached by keyboard, and player and menu buttons announce what they do.
  • ImprovedLinks to getlocker.co shared in messages and social apps now show a proper preview image.
  • ImprovedThe site loads noticeably faster, with lighter images and pages that only download what you actually open.
  • ImprovedOpening a project is quicker: it now loads only the blocks that project uses instead of every block type.
  • FixedFile sizes now read correctly everywhere, including large files on shared pages that used to show as thousands of MB.
  • FixedCounts read naturally now (no more "1 tracks"), and share and edit icons are consistent across the app.
  • ImprovedDeleting a folder now asks first and is clear that the folder and its tracks go to Trash, where you can restore them.
  • ImprovedYou can now play a track from the catalogue with the keyboard, and the whole app respects your system "reduce motion" setting.
  • ImprovedEach page now has its own title and preview details, so Locker shows up properly in search and when links are shared.
  • NewKii can now manage far more of your locker in chat: pause or password-protect share links, run client zones, tidy videos, show reels, contact groups and project boards. Anything a client could see always asks you first.
  • NewAsk Kii about your message history: "what have I sent Sarah?" or "who did I pitch this track to?" now get real answers.
  • ImprovedBrief matching now tells you when released tracks were hidden from your results instead of leaving you to wonder.
  • ImprovedWhen two songs share a name, Kii now asks which one you meant before touching anything important, instead of guessing.
  • ImprovedNew behind-the-scenes health monitoring means we spot and fix assistant problems within a day, not weeks.
v1.7.25•July 2026

A proper welcome and a big polish pass

  • FixedNew members now reliably receive their welcome email. A behind the scenes fault meant welcome emails were never actually arriving.
  • ImprovedEditing a track no longer sets off needless background reloads, so quick edits feel quicker across the catalogue.
  • FixedWhen something fails to load, you now see a clear message with a retry button instead of a screen that looks empty.
  • FixedRemoved a few buttons that promised features that were not ready yet, and fixed a notification link that led nowhere.
  • ImprovedKii's pop-up suggestions now open your Kii panel with the suggestion ready to send, and long Kii jobs show live progress instead of a spinner.
  • ImprovedClearer, friendlier wording across the app and in the emails we send you.
v1.7.24•July 2026

Polish and recoverability

  • FixedNotes and checklist popovers on the status board now close when you click away, instead of only when you click their button again.
  • FixedDeleting a set of lyrics now moves it to the trash so you can restore it, the same way tracks and playlists already work.
  • FixedFixed shared links briefly showing a false "coming soon" message when the page was slow to load.
  • ImprovedMore of your actions now appear in your history, including copying or linking a track, project edits, and sharing.
v1.7.23•July 2026

Status boards, and feedback that lives with the song

  • NewNew status board in Projects. See your tracks as cards in columns by status, drag a card to move it forward, and shape the columns around your own workflow.
  • NewNotes and comments now live on every track and every version. Keep your own notes with tick lists, links and pinned moments, and see client feedback right next to the version it belongs to, with resolve buttons that stay in sync with your zones.
  • ImprovedFeedback left on shared links now arrives as proper comments pinned to the exact track, version and moment, and returning listeners can see what you have already addressed.
  • NewLocker now understands version types. Demos, mixes and masters are recognised from your filenames, shown as coloured labels, and easy to set by hand when you want.
  • ImprovedMoving a track to the trash now immediately switches off any share links pointing at it.
  • SecurityYour audio now gets an automatic nightly backup to a separate secure store, on top of normal storage protection.
  • SecurityAnother round of behind the scenes security hardening, tightening access rules across accounts and connections.
  • FixedFixed panels that could open blank on their first click, including projects and the track details panel. Everything paints first time now.
  • FixedSaving notes is instant again. A bug made each save quietly reload your whole catalogue, which could freeze the app for a few seconds.
  • FixedShared file and lyric pages no longer show a misleading "coming soon" message when a link briefly fails to load. They now simply ask you to refresh and try again.
  • ImprovedDiscarding or deleting a lyric sheet now moves it to the trash so you can recover it, instead of removing it permanently.
v1.7.22•July 2026

A faster Locker all round

  • ImprovedLocker loads noticeably faster, especially on shared links. First visits download far less, and heavy tools now arrive only when you actually use them.
  • ImprovedReopening Locker shows your music straight away. Your catalogue paints instantly and quietly checks for changes in the background instead of making you watch a spinner.
  • ImprovedCover art loads instantly everywhere, lists use lightweight thumbnails instead of full size images, and playlist covers no longer quietly disappear over time.
  • ImprovedKii replies instantly instead of typing word by word, and your screen updates the moment Kii changes something for you.
  • NewKii now learns your taste from your own catalogue, can tell you what you have been listening to most, and can find songs by what their lyrics are about.
  • NewSmarter messaging. When you write to a contact, Locker suggests the right recipients and warns you before you send someone the same song twice.
  • ImprovedEveryday actions feel immediate. Renames, playlist edits, tag changes and trash restores show up instantly while Locker saves in the background.
  • ImprovedLarge downloads are faster and far more reliable, including "download all" on big shares.
  • FixedFixed covers that could stop showing on share pages, and stems added through the uploader now appear in your history like everything else.
v1.7.21•July 2026

Zone creation fixed

  • FixedCreating a new zone works again. A safety rule added alongside zone team collaboration was accidentally blocking every new zone at the moment it was created.
v1.7.20•July 2026

Cleaner song suggestions, no stray files

  • ImprovedYour suggestions are cleaner. When Locker reads your connected folders it no longer mistakes documents like invoices, licence notes or track lists for songs, so the songs it offers to add are real songs.
  • ImprovedA document can no longer show up as a playable version of a track. Only real audio files are offered as versions now.
  • ImprovedSuggestion confidence is honest now. Instead of everything looking equally certain, a song backed by a real file and corroborated across your sources reads as high confidence, while a thinner, single source hint reads as medium, so you can trust the strong ones at a glance and skim the rest.
  • FixedLyric sheets you keep in your folders still come through as suggestions, exactly as before, just without the stray non music files alongside them.
v1.7.19•July 2026

Sharper brief matching that knows its genres

  • ImprovedKii is much better at reading what a genre really means. Ask for a tempo-defined style like house or drum and bass and it now holds to that genre’s real tempo range and stops floating in tracks that are the wrong speed, while staying relaxed on styles where tempo matters less, like pop or ballads.
  • ImprovedIt surfaces more of the right songs. Real fits that were hiding just below the surface now come through, and the results list runs deeper, so you can see well past the first handful of matches.
  • FixedWhen Kii sums up your matches it now only mentions songs that are actually in the list, so the write up always lines up with what you see on screen.
v1.7.18•July 2026

A message composer that helps you write and address the email

  • NewAttach a song to a message and Locker now suggests who to send it to. It surfaces the people credited on the track, plus their managers and publishers where you have them saved, so you can add the right people with a tap instead of hunting through your contacts.
  • NewThere is a new Draft button. Press it and Locker writes a first message from what you have attached, greeting your recipients by name and pulling in the song title, key, tempo and what is included. You start from a real draft you can edit, not a blank page, and nothing sends until you are ready.
  • NewIf a song has a writer with no manager or publisher on file, the composer points it out and lets you add them in a couple of taps, right from the message, so a song’s team gets more complete as you go.
  • ImprovedLocker gives you a quiet heads up before you send if something genuinely looks off, like splits that do not add up to 100 percent, or the same version already sent to that person in the last few days, so real mistakes get caught without a pile of noise.
v1.7.17•July 2026

Smoother uploads and smarter credit suggestions

  • ImprovedUploading and analysing songs no longer makes the app stutter or freeze. Your library stays smooth and responsive while new songs process in the background, even when several finish at once.
  • FixedEditing a song’s details while uploads are running now sticks straight away, instead of your change briefly flickering back to the old value before settling.
  • NewWhen you upload a song whose file name includes a writer’s name, Locker now spots it and suggests adding that person as a credit, so your writing splits stay complete without you typing them in.
v1.7.16•June 2026

A clearer Connections area, plus editable brief references

  • ImprovedThe Connections settings are easier to follow. The folders Locker watches on your computer are now clearly labelled, with a plain explanation of how folder access works when you use Locker in a browser.
  • ImprovedYou can now edit a reference in a project brief after adding it. Hover the reference and click the pencil to fix its name or swap the link, instead of removing it and adding it back.
  • FixedThe new-music email switch now reliably saves your choice. Previously it could show an error and fail to save.
v1.7.15•June 2026

Faster suggestion accepts and a tidier knowledge area

  • ImprovedAccepting a suggested version or lyric is now much quicker. Instead of rebuilding your whole library every time, Locker refreshes just the song you changed, so working through a batch of suggestions feels instant rather than laggy.
  • FixedA behind the scenes housekeeping item was appearing in your Knowledge inputs as if it were a file you had uploaded. It is now hidden, so that list only shows things you actually added.
v1.7.14•June 2026

Download everything from a share in one click

  • NewShare links now have a Download all button. Whoever you send a playlist, an EP, or a track with several versions to can grab the whole lot at once instead of saving each file one by one.
  • ImprovedIt is smart about where the button goes. A playlist gets its own Download all right in its header. Send several tracks or playlists at once and each gets its own, plus one button up top to take the whole share, all neatly organised into folders.
  • FixedTidied up downloading throughout share links so attached files and stems save straight to your device instead of sometimes opening in a new tab.
  • FixedTag rows no longer nudge up and down as you add or remove genre, mood and instrument tags. The row stays a steady height.
v1.7.13•June 2026

Make the library wider when you need it

  • NewYou can now drag the left library panel wider, up to double its size, on Music, Projects and Messages. Grab its right edge and pull. Double-click the edge to snap it back to normal.
  • ImprovedYour chosen width is remembered and stays the same across every page, so long folder and playlist names have room to breathe when you want it.
v1.7.12•June 2026

Renaming playlists fixed in the Mac app

  • FixedRenaming a playlist from its menu now works everywhere, including the Locker for Mac app, where it could previously do nothing at all.
  • FixedNaming a new playlist or project through Kii now uses a proper in-app box that works reliably across the web, Mac and iPhone apps.
  • FixedPreviewing a zone as your client now fits the Mac app window properly. The Back button no longer hides behind the window controls, and you can drag the window from the top of the preview like every other page.
v1.7.11•June 2026

Sharing fixes and smoother playback

  • FixedShared playlist links now reliably show their full track list. Some were briefly coming up empty, and that is fixed.
  • ImprovedWhen you press play on a share link, the button now shows a loading spinner while the track loads, so you get instant feedback instead of a button that looks like nothing happened.
  • ImprovedGoing back to a track you already played on a share link now starts instantly instead of reloading it.
  • FixedVoice notes you record on a loose song idea now carry over correctly when you file that idea onto a track, including notes you pinned to a specific lyric line.
v1.7.10•June 2026

Kii can do more of the hands-on work

  • NewAsk Kii to jot a note on a track or version, and even pin a comment to an exact moment, like "note on the demo at 1:34: fix the vocal". It becomes a clickable waveform pin.
  • NewTell Kii to set a playlist track to always follow your latest version, or pin it to a specific one, without opening the playlist yourself.
  • NewAsk Kii to show you the client feedback on a zone and mark threads resolved or reopened, so you can clear your feedback inbox just by asking.
  • ImprovedKii now understands your client zones as shared, collaborative spaces with a team and client feedback, so it gives accurate answers about them instead of outdated ones.
v1.7.9•June 2026

Private notes, waveform markers, and easier sign-in

  • NewAdd private notes to any track or version. It is a proper writing space for you and your team, with checklists and links, and it never shows to clients on a share link or in a zone.
  • NewMark exact moments on a version. Type a timestamp like @1:34 in a note and it becomes a pin on the waveform; click it to jump straight to that spot in the audio. Perfect for "fix the vocal here" or "love this drop".
  • ImprovedOpening a Locker link from a LinkedIn, Instagram or WhatsApp message used to trap you in that app's built-in browser, where Google sign-in is blocked. Locker now spots this and shows a one-tap way to open in your real browser so you can sign in.
  • NewPrefer no password? You can now ask Locker to email you a sign-in link that logs you in with one click.
  • FixedAfter running a bulk action on selected tracks, the checkboxes now clear properly instead of staying ticked.
  • FixedThe upload progress panel stays fully on screen, so its controls no longer slip out of view during big uploads.
v1.7.8•June 2026

Playlists that keep up with your versions

  • NewEach track in a playlist can now follow its main version automatically. Choose "Main version (always current)" on a track and whenever you change that song’s main version anywhere in Locker, the playlist updates to match, so a playlist you keep or share always plays your latest.
  • NewPrefer it frozen? Pin a track to one exact version and it stays put no matter what you change elsewhere. You decide per track, from a simple dropdown on each one.
  • NewYou can now keep more than one version of the same song in a playlist, like an instrumental sitting alongside the full mix.
  • FixedShared playlist links now play the exact version you picked for each track, instead of always falling back to the main one.
  • FixedPlaylist artwork you upload now shows everywhere, on the playlist page and in your playlists grid, not just the side panel, and it no longer fades out over time.
v1.7.7•June 2026

Calmer, faster suggestions

  • ImprovedSuggestions no longer rebuild themselves in the background. When there is a fresh improvement to apply, Locker shows a small "Refresh" prompt so you choose when to update them.
  • ImprovedRefreshing your suggestions is quicker. Locker now re-checks only the parts of your catalogue that actually changed since last time, instead of rebuilding everything.
  • ImprovedDisconnecting a connected folder or drive is now fast. Locker simply tidies up what that source added rather than rebuilding your whole catalogue.
  • ImprovedYour saved suggestions open instantly when you come back to them, instead of reloading on every visit.
v1.7.6•June 2026

Clearer client zones, shared feedback

  • NewComments in a zone can now be shared with everyone you give access to, so feedback reads as one conversation and each person can see what the others are saying. You can switch a zone back to private per client in its settings any time.
  • NewYou can now reply to and resolve client feedback right inside your own zone, recognised as the owner, rather than only from the editor. Open your own share link while signed in and Locker lets you straight in, no code needed.
  • ImprovedWhen you open your own zone you now see all the feedback your clients have left, right beside the track it is about, instead of only in the editor list.
  • FixedLyric sheets you have deleted no longer appear for people you share a zone or link with.
  • ImprovedA zone track list now shows the number of versions on every track and clearly labels whether a song is a pitch or tied to an artist, matching the rest of Locker.
v1.7.5•June 2026

Drop in a brief and let Locker fill it out

  • NewDrag a brief into a project, whether it is a PDF, a Word doc, a text file or even a screenshot, and Locker reads it and fills in the brief for you: who sent it, the vibe, and the genre, mood, tempo and vocal it calls for.
  • NewA brief can now hold several songs across several artists. Locker keeps each song its own, so a label sheet asking for three different tracks stays organised, and asking Kii to match the brief scores your catalogue against each song separately.
  • FixedPDFs now preview properly inside Locker for Mac instead of showing a blank page.
v1.7.4•June 2026

Crisper audio, smoother short clips

  • ImprovedAudio now streams at a higher quality, so your tracks sound clearer when you play them back in Locker.
  • FixedVery short clips like samples and one-shots now upload cleanly instead of showing an error. Locker saves them and adds a note that they are too short to auto-detect tempo, key or genre, so you can tag them yourself.
v1.7.3•June 2026

Smarter lyric import

  • ImprovedWhen you import a lyric sheet, Locker now picks out the song title correctly even when the title is also your main hook line, so your verses and chorus line up the way you wrote them.
  • FixedLyrics written in non-Latin scripts like Korean, Japanese or Arabic now read and lay out properly instead of being grouped into the wrong sections.
v1.7.2•June 2026

Steadier playback

  • ImprovedPlayback is more resilient. If a track has trouble loading, the player now quietly fetches a fresh copy and keeps going instead of stopping with an error.
v1.7.1•June 2026

Lyrics polish: cloud documents, re-discovery and tidier folder stats

  • NewLyric documents found in your Dropbox or Google Drive can now be added to a song in one click, not just documents in your local folders.
  • ImprovedConnected folders now show how many lyric documents they found alongside how many tracks, so you can see your whole library at a glance.
  • FixedLarge folders packed with documents no longer fail to finish scanning, the scan always completes, however big the library.
  • FixedIf you delete an imported lyric sheet, Locker can suggest its source document again later instead of forgetting it forever.
  • FixedThe optional daily "new music" email now actually sends to people who turned it on.
v1.7.0•June 2026

A smarter uploader, lyrics from documents, faster folder sync

  • NewThe uploader is much smarter. Drop in a track and it reads the title, tempo, key and cover art straight from the file.
  • ImprovedIt now spots when a file is just a new version of a song you already have (even under a different filename) so you avoid accidental duplicates.
  • ImprovedBetter at messy filenames: it picks out the real song title even when artist names, tags or version markers get in the way.
  • FixedDropping a document or other non-audio file no longer creates a stray empty track, the uploader asks where it should go instead.
  • ImprovedTracks you upload directly now feed your suggestions and Kii's view of your catalogue, just like files from your connected folders.
  • NewImport lyrics from a document, paste them in or drop a Word or text file, and Locker turns it into a proper lyric sheet. It can also find lyric documents in your connected folders and suggest which song they belong to.
  • ImprovedConnected-folder scans are faster and more reliable, big libraries no longer time out, and Dropbox and Google Drive can now find lyric documents too.
  • NewConnect multiple local folders, and get notified (in the app or by email) when new music lands in a watched folder.
v1.6.0•June 2026

Client Zones, redesigned

  • NewClient Zones have a brand-new editor, design your zone on the left and see a live preview of exactly what your clients will see on the right.
  • NewPersonalise each zone: add a cover image, a welcome note and your social links, and choose a light or dark theme, clients can still switch it themselves.
  • ImprovedThe preview shows the real client experience in context, including where clients leave feedback on each version, so there are no surprises before you share.
  • ImprovedSmaller touches: drag the editor panel wider, copy the client link from the top, and individually-added tracks now group under one tidy section.
  • FixedOn a shared zone you can now dismiss a comment box without having to send it.
  • ImprovedThe Client Zone editor is roomier and tidier, it opens wider, social links collapse into a single section, and long track and version names truncate cleanly (scroll on hover) instead of cramming.
  • NewLocker for Mac is here. A proper desktop app that watches your session folders (new bounces appear automatically), offers to file audio you download from anywhere, lets you drag tracks straight in and out of Finder, and keeps perfectly in sync with the web app. Download it free from the Get Locker for Mac link in your menu.
  • FixedLarge catalogues show the right track count again. If you had a few hundred shared tracks, the total could wrongly read "0 tracks", it now counts correctly however big your catalogue grows.
  • ImprovedSmarter song suggestions: versions you've already imported or dismissed no longer come back as suggestions, and stems mistakenly offered as songs are filtered out. The list also refreshes on its own when new suggestions are ready.
  • ImprovedThe Client Zone editor now matches the rest of the app, cleaner sectioned panels, consistent tabs, the share link tucked into the header, and a logo beside each social link.
  • NewEdit your Client Zones from your phone. On mobile the editor is now a single full-width panel with a Preview button that opens the real client view full-screen, no more squished split screen.
  • ImprovedThe contact panel is tidier and consistent: every section lines up the same way as the rest of the app, and social links show their platform logos.
v1.5.0•June 2026

One search box for your whole catalogue

  • NewSearch your entire catalogue from one box, press ⌘K (or the Search button) anywhere and find a song by a line of its lyrics, a word from a voice note, a video, a playlist, a project or a contact. Results are grouped by type and jump you straight to the right place.
  • NewFind a song by what it says. Type a lyric you remember and the track comes up with the matching line highlighted, even if you've forgotten the title.
  • ImprovedThe search box on each screen got smarter too: searching in Tracks now also turns up songs by their lyrics and voice-note transcripts, not just titles, while still showing what you were already seeing.
  • ImprovedKii now searches the words inside your lyrics and voice notes properly, so asking it for "songs about home" or "voice notes where I mention the bridge" actually works.
  • ImprovedProduction type now has an honest "Mixed Production" label for songs that blend acoustic and electronic. Tracks Locker had already analysed but couldn't neatly call one or the other are no longer left blank, and you can filter by it.
v1.4.0•June 2026

The mobile app, properly

  • NewClient Zones are now on mobile. Browse your zones, open one to see its tracks, folders and clients, check feedback, and share, all from your phone.
  • NewTap the search bar on mobile and you get instant suggestions (your recent searches plus the genres, instruments and moods that actually exist in your catalogue) so you can jump straight in with a tap.
  • NewEdit a track's tags from your phone: press and hold any tag (genre, mood, key, location, status) to bring up the editor, the same way right-click works on desktop.
  • NewThe Projects library on mobile now has everything desktop does (folders, templates, archived projects and trash) and selecting them actually filters the list.
  • NewAdd a contact straight from Messages on mobile, and the contact picker now scrolls your whole address book instead of stopping partway.
  • ImprovedThe mobile library opens as a tidy, scannable list, folders and sections start collapsed and remember what you open while you work.
  • ImprovedKii feels natural on mobile: the latest message stays in view, the keyboard stays up between messages, replies stream in smoothly, and the helpful/not-helpful buttons work on touch.
  • ImprovedThe lyrics editor on mobile is calmer, clear "Rhymes" and "Words" labels, no doubled-up formatting controls, less clutter while you write, and tapping a rhyme no longer drops the keyboard.
  • ImprovedThe full-screen player lays out cleanly on mobile and shared links, the track and version names sit where they should instead of crammed against the controls.
  • FixedThe mobile login screen now sits still and no longer pops the keyboard before you've tapped a field; signed-in users go straight into the app with no flash of the login page.
  • FixedProjects look right on a phone, blocks fit the screen instead of running off the edge, and a project's status chips sit in a neat row.
  • FixedText formatting (bold, italic and the rest) now applies inside Sheet and Task blocks, on both desktop and mobile.
  • FixedThe zone Feedback tab no longer errors when there's no feedback yet, and the zone tab bar fits neatly across the top on mobile.
  • FixedDeleting a single playlist now sends it to Trash so it can be recovered, instead of disappearing for good.
  • FixedShared-link players keep your volume between tracks instead of jumping back to full, and stem previews play reliably again.
  • FixedZone invites tell the truth, if the invite email can't be sent, you're told, instead of seeing a false "sent" and a client who never gets access.
  • FixedVoice notes you record against a lyric idea now come with it when you file it onto a track, they line up alongside the track's other notes instead of vanishing. Any recordings that had gone missing this way reappear under their track.
  • FixedTyping a BPM now works properly, the box takes the number you type instead of jumping to a large value, whether you're setting a track's BPM or filtering by it.
  • FixedShare links now include exactly what you choose, take the lyrics (or any item) off a link and they stay off, instead of showing up anyway.
v1.3.0•June 2026

A much smarter Kii, and honest sharing

  • NewKii has a new brain. It now reads the results of everything it does and writes its own replies, so conversations feel natural, follow-ups actually follow on, and you can talk through a problem instead of starting over each message.
  • NewMatch briefs from anything: paste the text, drop in a PDF lead sheet (with many briefs at once), send a screenshot of an email, or attach a reference track, Kii fuses it all and matches against how your music actually sounds, not just its tags.
  • NewReference tracks now count. When a brief says "sounds like X" and you have that song, Kii uses its actual audio to anchor the matching, and you can refine results naturally: "more uptempo", "not those", "more like this one".
  • ImprovedKii replies appear as they're written, real streaming, word by word, instead of a long pause and a wall of text.
  • ImprovedWhen a track name could mean more than one thing (say you own a song and someone also shared one with the same name) Kii now asks which you mean instead of guessing.
  • ImprovedUndo from chat is reliable: tell Kii to undo the thing you name, and that's what gets undone, including big bulk tag changes.
  • FixedView-only tracks now tell the truth. If something's shared with you to listen only, editing is clearly off, a "View Only" banner shows with a one-click Request Edit Access, and no more false "saved!" messages on changes that couldn't be made.
  • FixedTrack cards with several locations now show a neat "+2"-style count you can tap to expand, instead of hiding everything past the first.
  • FixedCatalogue completeness now counts your whole catalogue, very large libraries were previously checked only in part.
  • ImprovedKii's action confirmations now spell out the real scope before you approve ("this renames the tag on 358 tracks") so big changes are never a surprise.
v1.2.0•June 2026

Project spreadsheets, undo, and sharper songwriting tools

  • NewProject Sheet blocks now work like a real spreadsheet: type formulas (totals, references, basic maths), drag to fill a series down a column, sort by any column, and paste straight from Excel or Google Sheets with values landing in the right format.
  • NewUndo and redo on project pages. Step back through changes to a project's layout and blocks, and redo if you change your mind, and it's collaborator-safe, so undoing your own change won't wipe edits a teammate made at the same time.
  • NewSee who else is here: when a teammate is viewing the same project, their avatar now appears live on the page.
  • ImprovedSmarter rhyme and thesaurus suggestions in the lyrics editor. The words that are genuinely good to sing now rise to the top (more singable, more usable choices first) instead of just the most common word. Same panels, better picks.
  • ImprovedThe upload and analysis progress panel is calmer and clearer: plain-English messages instead of technical errors, no more contradictory "failed" and "done" at once, gentle in-place retries, and you can now drag its top edge to resize the panel.
  • ImprovedA cleaner, more consistent player. The progress bar and volume slider now share one modern, minimal design across every player (the main app, mobile, shared links, and the A/B compare view) with the playhead tucked away until you reach for it, so playback feels calmer and more focused.
  • FixedAccepted suggestions now stay accepted. A few that could quietly drift back into your list after you'd actioned them are now resolved cleanly the first time.
  • FixedOpening a track in the expanded, full-size view now dims the page behind it, so the larger window reads as a focused space instead of blending into the catalogue underneath.
  • SecurityPassword-protected shares are now genuinely locked. The password is enforced on our servers, not just in your browser, so a protected share's audio, files and even its link preview can't be opened without it. Shares without a password are unaffected.
  • FixedSharing a folder now opens the full sharing panel again, add collaborators and create a share link straight from a folder, the same as you can for a track. It had been showing a cut-down view with no way to add people.
  • FixedSharing a playlist from the sidebar now opens the full sharing panel, the same as sharing it from the playlist itself, it had mistakenly shown a "coming soon" message.
  • ImprovedSee sharing at a glance, everywhere. Tracks, playlists and folders now show the same small badge for who you've shared something with (and a pending marker for invites that haven't been accepted yet) so you can spot a pending share without opening it.
  • NewZones, share a private, branded listening room with a client or collaborator. Add tracks to a Zone, send an invite, and they get a clean streaming page of their own (with optional email-code access), all managed from your contacts.
  • NewA track can now live in more than one folder, and organising is drag-and-drop: grab any track (or a single version) and drop it into a folder, a playlist, or another track. Cards lift from wherever you grab them, with no fiddly handles.
  • NewYou can now delete your account and all of its data yourself, from Settings, no need to email us.
  • ImprovedA redesigned voice-notes editor: trim the recording, rename it, and replace the audio in place without losing the note.
  • ImprovedA clearer notifications bell, each notification now shows who did what, with the person's name and avatar, and the unread count stays accurate.
  • ImprovedDeleting a video now moves it to Trash, where you can restore it or remove it for good, the same safety net your tracks already have.
  • FixedFixed a crash that could close the lyrics editor on iPhone and in Safari when opening a lyric. New lyrics, ideas, and track lyrics now open reliably.
  • FixedEditing, importing or removing contacts no longer occasionally trips up the music page, those updates now settle quietly in the background.
  • ImprovedInvite collaborators who aren't on Locker yet. The invite email now opens a page that shows who invited them and to what, then walks them through creating an account and accepting, so anyone you work with can actually get in, and the invitation is waiting for them in their notifications.
v1.1.0•May 2026

Sharing, mobile, and a smarter Kii

  • NewYou can now search and sort the Knowledge Hub suggestions list. Search across song titles, writers, and source files; sort by most items per song (default), newest first, or alphabetically by song. Useful when a Knowledge Hub run produces a long list and you want to jump straight to a specific track.
  • FixedAudio analysis now recovers itself from temporary glitches. If a track's analysis fails because of a brief network or storage hiccup during a busy upload (rather than a problem with the file), Locker quietly re-runs it (both on the spot and the next time you open the app) so you don't have to spot it and re-analyze by hand. Real problems with a file still surface as before.
  • FixedThe Knowledge Hub suggestions list now loads instantly again, and stays fast no matter how large your catalogue grows, we removed an internal limit that could make the list hang on big catalogues.
  • ImprovedWhen Locker suggests adding versions to a song, you can now decide file-by-file where each one goes (keep it on this song, move it to a different track, split it into a brand-new track, or skip it) instead of one all-or-nothing choice. Handy when a few files share a title but aren't actually the same song. Files split into a new track are credited from their own filenames, so the writers stay accurate.
  • ImprovedOn that same "add version" card, you can now set a destination for a whole file format at once, one click sends every WAV (or every MP3) to this song, a different track, a new track, or skip. Keep your masters and reject the rough bounces in a couple of clicks instead of going file-by-file.
  • ImprovedEach proposed file now has a one-click × to skip it (click again to bring it back). Skipped rows strike through rather than vanish, so you can always see what you've set aside.
  • FixedLocker no longer re-suggests adding a version that's already on the song. If you'd already imported a file (or an earlier "add" was interrupted half-way (a dropped connection mid-accept)) the suggestion now quietly resolves itself instead of lingering as a duplicate you have to dismiss. Files with a genuinely different name are still offered, because renaming is treated as a deliberate choice.
  • FixedSkip-next and skip-previous now stay inside the list you started playing from. Before, if you pressed play on a track inside a playlist and then hit skip, the player would jump out of the playlist and into a different track, usually the next one from All Tracks. Now skip walks the playlist (or folder, or project, or search results) you're actually viewing. Auto-advance also now works: when a track finishes, the next one in the same list plays automatically.
  • FixedOn mobile, the skip-next and skip-previous buttons in the full-screen Now Playing view do something, they used to silently swallow taps. The Now Playing screen now walks the same list as the rest of the app.
  • FixedSkip-next and skip-previous on the public share pages people receive from you now jump to the next or previous track, they used to do a 10-second seek within the current track, which was confusing because the icons are universal next/previous icons. Shared playlists now also auto-advance: when a track ends, the next one plays.
  • FixedOn multi-track shares (where you send several different tracks in one link), skip now walks across every track in order, not just the versions of whichever track was clicked. Voice notes are still played individually, but the play / skip flow treats the share as one continuous listen-through of all the tracks you sent.
  • FixedKnowledge Hub no longer suggests adding a writer who is already credited on the track. The system used two slightly different rules for matching names (one stricter than the other) which let near-matches slip through and reappear as new-credit cards. Both layers now use the same rule, so an existing credit reliably suppresses a redundant suggestion regardless of hyphens, extra spaces or punctuation in the source data.
  • ImprovedLocker now recognises name shortenings against existing credits, if a track is credited to "Alex Rivers" and a source mentions "A Rivers" on the same song, Kii treats them as the same person and skips the duplicate suggestion. It also remembers the connection so future runs match instantly.
  • ImprovedFiles named with writing-session markers (Write 2, Session 3, Take 4, Pass 2, etc.) are now recognised as new versions of the existing song instead of being treated as brand-new tracks. The list of recognised markers is now broader.
  • ImprovedWhen a file lands with a title close-but-not-identical to an existing track, Locker now offers a "same song?" merge instead of silently creating a near-duplicate. Borderline title matches become an explicit choice for you rather than a quiet new-track creation.
  • ImprovedRejection memory now covers more types of suggestions. If you dismiss a duplicate-track merge proposal, Locker remembers and won’t re-propose the same merge across Knowledge Hub runs.
  • FixedAudio analysis no longer gets stuck, you can queue up hundreds of tracks for analysis at once and every one will complete. Previously, a bug could leave tracks hanging at "Finalizing results…" indefinitely with no way for the system to recover; the queue now self-heals every 30 seconds and an independent watchdog flags any backlog within minutes.
  • ImprovedAccepting or rejecting one suggestion in the Knowledge Hub no longer freezes the others, popovers, dropdowns and inline editors on neighbouring cards stay fully responsive while a card is processing.
  • ImprovedNew, simpler pricing, Creator is now £10/mo, Creator Plus £20/mo, and Studio £35/mo. Annual billing keeps its 10% discount.
  • FixedYou can now choose a plan and upgrade directly from a phone browser, the Plans & Billing screen opens the full plan picker, the same as on desktop. Previously upgrading only really worked on a computer; on a phone browser there was no way to pick a plan and pay.
  • ImprovedShare links now open with a brief cinematic intro, a clean white page where your artwork gently fades in as a centred square with the track or playlist name beneath it, holds for a moment, then fades back out to reveal the player. Multi-track shares get a 2×2 collage of the first four tracks' artworks. If a track doesn't have artwork yet, it falls back to a branded gradient. Recipients can click or tap to skip.
  • NewShare pages now have full dark mode. The share opens in whatever theme you (the sender) had in the app when you made it, share something at 2am in dark mode and the recipient sees it dark. Each recipient can flip it with a Sun/Moon toggle in the top-right; their choice is remembered for that specific share. Every part of the page adapts: header, collage, track sections, lyrics, voice notes, files, credits, the reply drawer, the intro animation.
  • ImprovedOn share pages, Voice Notes and Files sections under each track now collapse by default, they show the count in the header ("1 voice note", "3 files") and expand on click. Versions stay open as the headline content; lyrics, voice notes, files, and credits all match the same compact pattern so tracks with lots of working content don't blow out the page.
  • FixedMulti-track share links now show credits for every track, previously credits only appeared on single-track shares. Each track gets its own collapsible "Credits" section, matching what single-track shares have always shown.
  • FixedLyrics included in share links now actually render on the public share page, they'd been silently hidden because of an internal data-shape mismatch. Each shared lyric is now the exact one you picked at the moment you created the share (a snapshot), not the most recent one for that track.
  • ImprovedMulti-track share links now show the same name across the share page, the Shares Hub, and every inspector's share section (the comma-separated track titles ("Midnight Drive, Paper Planes, Golden Hour", with "..." if there are more than four). Previously the public page would say "Midnight Drive, Paper Planes, Golden Hour" while the hub said only "Golden Hour") confusing when you wanted to find that same share by name.
  • ImprovedMulti-track share links now have a proper header (the same 2×2 artwork collage from the intro stays as the page hero, the headline shows the actual track titles ("Midnight Drive, Paper Planes, Golden Hour") up to four, then ... for the rest), with "3 tracks shared with you" and "Shared by [your name]" beneath. Cells without uploaded artwork now show the small music-note icon matching the row treatment, and unused slots in the 2×2 are left blank, a 3-track share no longer invents a phantom 4th tile. Single-track and single-playlist shares get the same upgrade to actually display "Shared by ..." (which had been silently missing).
  • ImprovedMulti-playlist share links now match the same polished treatment as track shares, a 2×2 artwork collage of the included playlists (using each playlist's cover image, falling back to the first track's artwork), the comma-joined playlist names as the headline ("April 2026 Demos, Alternative Tracks"), "X playlists shared with you" beneath, and the cinematic intro lands on the same collage. The playlist cards on the page now adapt to light/dark mode like everything else, instead of staying white on a dark page.
  • FixedMulti-playlist share links now show the correct tracks for each playlist. Previously, if you shared two playlists in one link, both cards on the page would render the same flat list of tracks, now each card shows its own playlist's contents.
  • ImprovedPlaylist cards on share pages now have a colour-coded header bar that picks up the playlist's own identity colour (the same colour you see on its cover). In a share that pairs a track and a playlist, the blue "1 version" bar and the playlist's coloured bar sit next to each other so it's clear what each block is at a glance, and the playlist cards now adapt cleanly to dark mode like everything else on the page.
  • ImprovedShare links containing exactly two items (two tracks or two playlists) now show the artwork as a clean side-by-side split instead of a 2×2 grid with the bottom half blank, feels like a deliberate cover rather than a half-empty placeholder.
  • ImprovedIn a multi-playlist share, all the playlist cards now share one accent colour drawn from the first playlist, so the page reads as one unified share instead of a stack of independently-coloured blocks. Single-playlist and mixed track+playlist shares keep their per-playlist colour.
  • FixedWhen playing through a multi-playlist share, pressing skip-next on the last track of the first playlist now rolls into the first track of the next playlist (and so on). Previously it just stopped at the end of whichever playlist you started from.
  • NewShare Insights, see who opened your share links, how many viewers, downloads, and listens, plus active collaborators and message threads, right inside every track, playlist, and project. Open the "·" menu on any row for an at-a-glance peek
  • ImprovedShare Insights now counts downloads from share links and shows when each of your collaborators last actually opened the thing you shared with them ("Last active 2h ago" or "Never opened"), so you can tell who's engaged and who hasn't looked
  • NewNew "Shares" hub in your profile menu, one chronological feed across every share link view, collaborator invite, and message you've sent, with filters by type and time, and smart grouping for noisy share links
  • ImprovedEvery share link you've ever made now appears in the Shares hub on its own row (with its current view count), not just links that have already been viewed, so you can find any link you sent without having to remember the exact track
  • ImprovedTrack, playlist and project inspectors gained a bar-chart icon in the top-right, clicking it switches to a full Share Insights page (matching the Contact card pattern) with the same stat cards as before plus a clean Recent Activity timeline scoped to that thing
  • FixedAnonymous viewers of your public share links are now actually counted, previously their visits were silently rejected at the auth gateway, so every share looked like it had zero traffic when in fact people had been clicking it
  • FixedThe Shares hub now reliably shows every share link you've created, including ones from the last few weeks that were going missing, share data used to be split across two internal tables that had drifted out of sync, now it lives in one place so the inventory and the public share page always agree
  • ImprovedPer-track Share Insights now rolls up every share related to that track in one view, including shares you generated of a specific version, lyric, voice note, or file inside the track. One row per share, grouped under the track they belong to.
  • ImprovedThe Shares hub no longer clutters itself with rows labelled "A track" or "A playlist", those were old share links pointing at tracks or playlists you've since deleted. They're now filtered out, so the inventory only shows shares of things that still exist.
  • FixedShare links are now true snapshots, adding a new lyric or voice note to a track no longer leaks into share links you created earlier. Each share is pinned to exactly the content you picked at the moment you made it.
  • NewYou can now edit the contents of a share link after creating it. Expand any share in the Shares hub or inside a track inspector and you'll see each item with a × to remove it, plus an "Add to share" button to bring in versions, lyrics, voice notes, or files you didn't originally include.
  • ImprovedAdding to an existing share link now lets you bring in items from any other track or playlist via a built-in search picker, not just the one the share is anchored to.
  • ImprovedPlaylist share Insights now show a full three-layer view of what's included (the playlist itself, every track inside it, and the version of each track that will play) so you can see exactly what the recipient will get.
  • ImprovedEvery track, playlist, and project inspector now shows Share Links, Collaborators, and Sent in messages as three collapsible sections with a "+" to create a new one, matching how Versions, Lyrics, and Voice Notes already work, including a clean empty state when there's nothing yet.
  • FixedFolder shares in the Shares hub now display the folder's actual name instead of the generic placeholder "a track folder" or "a playlist folder".
  • NewShare entire folders with collaborators, permissions cascade to every track inside
  • NewKnowledge Hub, see what Kii has learned about your catalogue and fill in the gaps
  • NewMobile experience overhaul, redesigned hubs, profile, and billing
  • ImprovedFaster catalogue browsing, even on large libraries
  • ImprovedLive time-remaining estimates while Kii organises your files
  • ImprovedKii is clearer about what it can and can't do, with friendlier error messages
  • ImprovedKii now answers "how many tracks" questions with the real total, no more capped or guessed numbers
  • ImprovedWhen you push back on something Kii said, it re-checks the answer instead of just agreeing with you
  • ImprovedSongwriter Tools tidied up, the old standalone Ideas and Proofread panels have been retired in favour of Co-Writer, which now handles brainstorming, proofreading, line edits, craft analysis, and catalogue search in one chat-based surface
  • ImprovedUploads now automatically recover from network interruptions, you can queue hundreds of imports, lose connection, and the app will pick up where it left off
  • NewEmail notifications when someone shares with you or makes a change to shared content, with one-click opt-out from your account
  • FixedImporting audio from Dropbox and Google Drive now works reliably from the Knowledge Hub
  • FixedAudio analysis results (BPM, key, mood) now save correctly once Kii finishes processing a track
  • FixedYou can now invite more than one collaborator to a folder, track, playlist, or project
  • SecurityHardened share emails, your name and the share link can no longer be impersonated by anyone else, even if they reverse-engineer the API
  • SecurityClosed a path that could let someone with a stolen version ID download a track they were never shared on
  • ImprovedWhen you click ✗ on a suggestion in a track inspector, Locker now properly remembers your "no", the same suggestion won’t reappear next time you sync that source
  • ImprovedIf an audio file fails to import after you accept a suggestion, the suggestion now stays in your list so you can retry, no more silently lost uploads
  • ImprovedIf you accept a suggestion and later delete the track or version it created, the suggestion comes back so you can decide again, it doesn’t silently disappear forever
  • SecurityTightened the OAuth callback gate for Dropbox and Google Drive, only real Locker domains are now accepted, so a lookalike domain can no longer hijack a connection flow
  • SecurityResend webhook events now use proper signature verification, delivery, open, and bounce tracking now works reliably and cannot be spoofed
  • ImprovedActivity & History cards are now readable in plain English, uploads, deletes, and other one-shot actions show just the headline (no more waveform peaks, raw byte counts, or "None → None" rows), and editing multiple writer credits on a track now collapses into one expandable card instead of stacking three or more near-identical entries
  • ImprovedAccepting a suggestion in a track inspector now shows live upload progress in-place (queued, uploading %, analysing, done) instead of vanishing and flashing back as a spinner
  • NewLink voice notes to specific lyrics sections, record an idea for "Verse 2" or "Chorus" and find it right where it belongs
  • NewMeet Kii Co-Writer, a chat-based songwriting partner inside the lyric editor, with title brainstorming, proofreading, and rewrites in one focused conversation
  • NewCo-Writer remembers your conversation per lyric, pick up where you left off, refine ideas across turns ("darker", "more conversational", "1-word version") without explaining yourself again
  • NewAccept or reject lyric edits inline, Co-Writer proposes specific line changes with reasoning; click Accept to apply instantly, undo through History anytime
  • NewAsk Co-Writer "have I written this before?", it searches your catalogue and only surfaces genuinely close matches, so you can stay fresh or build deliberate callbacks
  • ImprovedCo-Writer understands songcraft, syllable counts, rhyme schemes, meter, and structural balance are real analyses now, not guesses
  • NewRedesigned onboarding wizard, a guided five-step setup that introduces your identity, contacts, sources, and naming patterns to Kii in about two minutes. Skip-friendly throughout, and you can replay it anytime from Settings.
  • NewSmart contact CSV import, drop your contacts export from Google, Apple, or anywhere else and Locker recognises the columns automatically. Updates existing contacts in place, flags possible duplicates for your call, and shows a clear summary of what changed.
  • NewTeach Kii your naming style during onboarding, paste a few example filenames and Kii learns to pull title, writers, BPM, key, and version out of every track you upload from then on.
  • ImprovedContact CSV imports now appear in your Documents list with a 'Contacts found' count (same way context CSVs do) so you can see what you've uploaded before. Deleting the receipt doesn't touch the contacts.
  • ImprovedContext CSV imports surface a floating completion summary in the same place as upload progress, one consistent status surface for everything Kii is processing.
  • FixedLocal folder scans no longer silently fail when Kii applies naming patterns or filename rules to the audio it finds.
  • ImprovedScreen reader support across the onboarding flow, every dialog has a proper title and description for assistive tech.
  • ImprovedContext suggestions now automatically disappear when the change they propose is already done, no more stale "add this writer" cards for writers already credited on the track.
  • ImprovedYour tag corrections now stick, when you edit a track's genre, mood, or instruments, those changes are protected from automated re-analysis.
  • ImprovedAudio tagging is now based purely on what each track actually sounds like, telling Kii "I make pop music" no longer skews the analyser toward Pop. Your stated creative style is kept as conversation context for Kii instead.
  • ImprovedNew "Creative tendencies" section under Settings → Memory → Identity shows what Kii has learned about your creative style.
  • ImprovedAudio analyser tagging is more discriminating, tracks now get more specific genre, mood, and instrument tags instead of defaulting to broad categories.
  • ImprovedElectric pianos, synths, and organs now show up as distinct instrument tags instead of being lumped under "Keyboard."
  • ImprovedLocker is now much smarter about same-titled songs. If two songs share a short title like "You" or "Fix" but have different writers, Locker no longer assumes they're the same, it surfaces a "same song?" merge card for you to confirm instead of silently linking them together. Long, specific titles still match as before.
  • FixedCleaned up wrong song-to-song links that crept in during a Knowledge Hub run, for example, "Midnight Drive" was being treated as a version of "You", "Tidal" as a version of "Tide", "ember" as a version of "Embers". These were unwound automatically; the affected entries now re-appear as suggestions in your Knowledge Hub for you to decide on.
  • ImprovedWhen the same audio file appears in your Dropbox, Google Drive, and local folder, Locker now uses the file's intrinsic fingerprint to recognise it as one thing, no more duplicate "add this version" suggestions just because the filename differs across sources.
  • ImprovedLocker now recognises 2-letter initials against your contacts, "JK" can match "Alexander Rivers", "MW" against "Mike Williams". The match is surfaced as a "same person?" prompt rather than auto-linking, because 2 letters is inherently more ambiguous than longer name shortenings.
  • NewStems and key-shifted variants now properly belong to their parent song. When you upload "Anthem LEAD", "Anthem DBLS", "Anthem GANG", or "Lullaby +2semi", Locker recognises the marker, treats them all as versions of one song, and tags each with what it actually is (lead vocal / doubles / gang vocals / instrumental / acapella / key-shifted by N semitones). Existing tracks have been retroactively grouped, your catalogue is now structurally organised by version family.
  • ImprovedIf you remove a writer credit from a track, Locker now remembers, it won't re-propose the same credit on the next data sync. The system treats every manual unlink as a strong "no" signal.
  • ImprovedKnowledge auto-links now respect your previous "no" decisions. If you rejected a song-merge or contact-merge suggestion, the system won't quietly link them on the next data sync, it asks again instead.
  • ImprovedWhen the Knowledge system auto-merges duplicate song entries it discovered, the action now shows up in your History so you can see exactly what happened (and roll it back from a future Undo button).
  • NewEvery Kii suggestion you accept is now undoable from your History. Accepted a wrong writer credit? Hit undo and it's gone. Merged the wrong two songs? Undo splits them back. Set the wrong status / location? Undo restores the old value. Learned an alias you shouldn't have? Undo unlearns it and unlinks. Covers all five accept types: add credit, merge song, update field, update split, merge name alias.
  • ImprovedStopped the Knowledge system clumping different songs together just because one writer happens to appear on both. Previously, if you had two unrelated songs called "Earthquake" that shared a single co-writer, the system treated them as the same song, pulling all writers from both into one mixed entry. Now the system requires more than one shared writer to merge claims, so two different "Earthquake" songs stay correctly separate.
  • ImprovedAdd-credit cards no longer show the same person multiple times. If the same writer name appears across three CSV rows for one song, you now see one card, not three. Alias variants of the same name ("Jordan Bailey" + "Jordan Taylor Alexis Bailey") also collapse to a single "same person?" prompt instead of two new-credit cards.
  • ImprovedShort initials in writer credits ("JK", "MW", "SP") now ask you to confirm whether they match an existing writer on the track, instead of being added as a separate new credit. "JK" on a track that already has "Alex Rivers" credited will surface as a "same person?" merge prompt.
  • FixedCleaned a large batch of corrupted state from older Knowledge runs, collapsed duplicate writer rows under the same songs (the system had created multiple copies of the same person on the same track over several past updates), removed wrong writers that had been wrongly attached to your songs by the old clustering algorithm, and unlinked song matches where the title didn't actually align (like "Long Way Home" being treated as a version of "You"). All changes are reversible from your History.
  • ImprovedThe Knowledge system now re-checks every existing song match every time it runs. If a track's link to a canonical song no longer makes sense (title mismatch, or rules have changed), it self-corrects on the next run, you don't have to wait for a manual cleanup. Pre-existing mistakes heal themselves over time.
  • ImprovedThe name-matching used everywhere (suggesting writers, deduplicating credits) now handles typos and informal nicknames better. "Jordann" + "Jordan" are now treated as the same name despite the typo. "Steph" prefixed inside "Stephenie" gets recognised even though it's not in our nickname dictionary. The system surfaces these as "same person?" prompts rather than creating duplicate writer credits.
  • FixedWhen you (or the system) explicitly removes a wrong writer from a song, the removal now sticks across Knowledge runs. Previously, removed writers could resurface on the next run because the underlying source data still mentioned them, now your decision overrides what the raw source rows say. Removed further wrong-writer entries that had crept back in this way, and cleared stale cards from your inbox.
  • FixedThe Knowledge system can now physically separate different songs that share a title and one co-writer. Previously, if your "Earthquake" had Alex Rivers as a co-writer AND a different, unrelated "Earthquake" also had Alex Rivers as a co-writer, the system clustered them as ONE song, pulling in all the other writers from the unrelated track. The system now applies a stricter "are these really the same song?" test that requires more than one shared writer, and retroactively split the affected songs. Your songs and the unrelated same-titled ones are now correctly stored as separate entries.
  • ImprovedThe "are these really the same song?" check now applies to titles of any length. Previously, songs with long titles like "The Way I Love You" got auto-linked on title alone, even if the writer sets were completely different. Now the same writer-overlap rule covers every title length, so two unrelated songs that happen to share a long common phrase stay separate and surface as a "same song?" prompt for you to decide.
  • NewDrag-to-alias on Add-Credit suggestions. When the Knowledge Hub proposes adding a new writer like "Sam (a band)" to a track that already has "Sam Porter" credited, you can now drag the proposed name onto the existing credit on the same card. Locker learns the alias, applies the credit to the existing contact instead of creating a duplicate, and remembers the alias for future runs. The card also shows a clear "New" or "In contacts" badge so you can tell at a glance whether accepting will create a new contact or link to an existing one.
  • ImprovedKnowledge Hub suggestions now load instantly when you navigate back to the screen OR refresh the browser. Previously every return trip (and every Cmd+R) re-fetched the entire suggestion list against the live catalogue, which could take several seconds. The page now trusts its own cache (which now also survives a browser refresh, persisted to your device for up to 24 hours) and only refreshes when something actually changes, a Knowledge Hub run completes, or you accept/reject/dismiss a card.
  • Fixed"Apply even splits" is now much faster and no longer times out. Editing one writer credit used to do the same bookkeeping work twice, so applying even splits across several writers could pile up enough redundant work to occasionally hang. That work now happens once per edit, roughly halving it.
  • Fixed"Apply even splits" is also responsive on the FIRST click now. Previously the split boxes kept showing the old numbers for up to a second after you clicked, the change had actually applied, but it looked like nothing happened until you clicked again. The new numbers now appear straight away. Same fix applied to per-row split edits where typing in one writer's box auto-balances the others.
  • ImprovedAlias previews on add-credit cards now propagate across every card showing the same proposed name. If "CMorgan" is being proposed as a writer on multiple tracks and you resolve it to "Casey Morgan" (via drag or the Resolve picker) on one card, every other card with "CMorgan" picks up the same green preview automatically. You still Add each one individually (every card represents a separate credit) but you only have to make the alias decision once. Cancelling the preview on any card clears it everywhere, which matches the mental model: "CMorgan is the same person as Casey Morgan" is one fact, not many.
  • Improved"Same song?" cards now show a preview of what's being compared. Before, the card asked "is this the same song?" but only showed the existing track's info (the version that came in from your sources was a black box. Now each card shows the proposed match on top (title, observed writers, location, source label like "Dropbox · Golden Hour [example collaborators] [120bpm Cmaj] v1.0.mp3" or "CSV · My Catalogue.csv") and the existing track in your Locker below) matching the proposed-on-top / existing-below pattern used everywhere else in the Knowledge Hub. A small footer surfaces the title-match % and shared-writer count from the system so you can adjudicate with the same evidence it used.
  • Fixed"Same song" acceptances are now sovereign (they never get silently undone by automated cleanup sweeps. Earlier today the Knowledge cleanup passes were unlinking song matches you had explicitly confirmed, because the system was re-checking writer-set overlap and finding it too low (typically when one side spells names like "RLee" and the other has "Robin Lee") same person, different label). Result: the same "Same song?" suggestion kept coming back even after you'd accepted it. Now your explicit decisions are flagged in the database and skipped by every algorithmic sweep. Two previously-broken links got restored automatically as part of the fix.
  • ImprovedQuick-filter chips on Add Version and Add Track cards. When a track has versions in multiple file formats (e.g. 8 .wav and 6 .mp3), you can now click a single chip to select only one format at a time, with an "all" button to restore. Chips only appear when there's actually a mix, single-format cards stay clean. Saves a lot of clicking when you want to add only the mastered WAVs from a folder full of work-in-progress MP3s (or vice versa).
  • ImprovedDrag-to-alias on Add Track cards is now a preview, matching the Add Credit pattern. Before, dropping a name onto another name fired the alias write to the server instantly (a misdrop meant going to History to undo. Now the drop just stages a preview locally with an "aliased" pill on the nested row; the alias only gets written when you actually click Add to Locker. Misdrop? Click the × and it's gone) nothing ever hit the server.
