Why trusted records matter
Independent proof that your work existed — before the dispute, the deal, or the doubt.
A lyric in a notebook.
A demo recorded on a phone.
A rough draft shared with a collaborator.
Months—or even years—can pass before that work is released.
During that time, files change, versions evolve, collaborators come and go, and memories fade. Most projects progress without issue. Occasionally, questions arise about when something was created or how a project developed.
That's why trusted records matter.
Lyricsmit creates an independently verifiable record that your work existed at a specific point in time—giving creators a reliable way to document their creative journey.
For Creators
Every creative work has a beginning.
Keeping trusted records helps you build a clear timeline of your work from its earliest stages. Whether you're writing alone, collaborating with others, or sharing work with publishers, managers or labels, having independent documentation provides greater confidence and better organisation.
If questions ever arise, you'll have a record that supports the history of your work.
For Labels, Publishers & Collaborators
Working with creators who maintain clear, independently timestamped records can make creative projects easier to follow and better documented.
Trusted records won't replace contracts, split sheets, copyright registration or legal agreements—but they can complement them by providing an independent record of when creative material existed.
Better documentation helps reduce uncertainty, supports smoother collaboration, and can save valuable time when reviewing a project's history.
A Better Standard for Creative Records
Good records benefit everyone.
- —Creators gain confidence in documenting their work.
- —Collaborators have a clearer history of a project's development.
- —Labels and publishers spend less time untangling avoidable questions and more time focusing on the music.
The best time to create a trusted record is at the beginning—before anyone needs to ask when the work first existed.
YOUR FILE IS NEVER STORED. ONLY ITS CRYPTOGRAPHIC FINGERPRINT AND RFC 3161 TIMESTAMP ARE KEPT.
