Building infrastructure for the business of sync licensing.
SyncCatalog is a software platform designed to help independent music catalogs organize the information required to discover, evaluate, clear and deliver music for licensing.
Music catalogs often depend on disconnected tools and duplicated data.
Licensing requires much more than an audio file and a song title. Catalog owners must track ownership, writers, publishers, clearance, creative metadata, deliverables, submissions and licensing activity—often across several unrelated systems.
Fragmented Metadata
Track information can be spread across spreadsheets, shared drives, email threads and multiple platforms.
Rights Complexity
A promising track is difficult to license when ownership and clearance information cannot be confirmed quickly.
Repeated Work
The same information is frequently re-entered when music moves from submission to catalog to pitch.
A catalog system designed around licensing.
SyncCatalog treats rights, creative metadata and deliverables as core parts of the music record rather than optional notes.
Catalog Management
Centralized tracks, artists, versions, rights metadata, files, tags and deliverable information.
Structured Submissions
Incoming music can be reviewed and accepted into the catalog without rebuilding the submission from scratch.
Sync-Oriented Search
Genre, mood, scene, lyrical theme and other metadata can support the way music is actually searched for licensing.
Rights & Deliverables
Catalog users can see ownership, control and availability of the files needed to respond to opportunities.
SyncCatalog is already functioning as software.
Development began with the catalog and submission foundation because these components establish the data model required for the rest of the licensing workflow.
Multi-Organization Catalog Structure
Catalog records are associated with organizations, creating the foundation for a multi-customer SaaS platform.
Track & Rights Management
Track records can store writers, publishers, ownership, clearance information, deliverables and searchable metadata.
Public Music Submissions
Catalog owners can receive music and metadata through a structured public submission workflow.
Submission-to-Catalog Import
Accepted submissions can be converted into draft catalog tracks while preserving associated data and media files.
The value isn't simply storing music. It's knowing what the music is, who controls it, and whether it's ready to license.
SyncCatalog is being designed around that distinction. The platform aims to become the operational layer between incoming music, catalog management and licensing activity.
Recurring software for organizations that manage music.
Final pricing has not yet been set. The intended commercial model is subscription software serving organizations that manage music catalogs for licensing.
Potential Customer Segments
Commercial Direction
Expand outward from a reliable catalog foundation.
The roadmap focuses on extending the same structured data into additional parts of the licensing workflow.
Purpose-built rather than adapted.
SyncCatalog is not intended to replace every music platform. It is focused on a narrower operational problem: managing the catalog information required to license music efficiently.
Not a Streaming Platform
The product is centered on licensing operations rather than consumer music discovery.
Not Just File Storage
Audio files are connected to rights, metadata, deliverables and workflow information.
Not Just a Spreadsheet
Structured relational data makes the catalog searchable, reusable and extensible across workflows.
