InnerHook is a lyrics editor made for songwriters. You write a song as one page of text: sections, syllable counts, versions and a brief for each song, with optional writing tools when you want a nudge. Your songs are private until you share them.

InnerHook is in **closed beta**: you need an invite to make an account. The app lives at [app.innerhook.com](https://app.innerhook.com). If you don't have an invite yet, join the waitlist on [innerhook.com](https://innerhook.com/).
