Contact research, pitch drafting, release planning, and coverage tracking.

Built for independent artists running their own release. The only tool with a public API and MCP server.

Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Meet. The backbone of most small operations.

Custom domain email is non-negotiable for credibility. Drive handles asset sharing with contacts and media.

Docs, databases, and project tracking in one workspace.

Flexible enough for release briefs, project notes, and internal SOPs. Better than Trello for tracking multiple releases.

Finding contact details, scraping station playlists, researching outlets. Saves hours of manual research per campaign.

The only way to know if your track is actually being played. Essential for campaign reporting and follow-ups.

Every release wrap-up needs streaming data to show what moved. Free and essential.
