Project management for music producers and studios.
Outro is a project management app for music producers that sits next to any DAW, on Windows and Mac. Tasks are tagged by craft, and progress is tracked by track.
Task lists, tagged by craft
Melody, drums, mix, lyrics, sound design. Tag tasks by the part of the track they touch.
Ideas scattered across folders, feedback buried in DMs, no way to tell what’s actually done. Outro gives every track a home, from first idea to final bounce.
Works with your DAW
Keep your DAW. Outro sits next to it.
Outro lists your sessions and opens them in your DAW. From Ableton Live, Reaper, FL Studio and Studio Pro sessions it also reads the BPM and plugins.

Ableton Live, Studio Pro, Logic Pro, Cubase and Pro Tools show Key when the session has one; for Cubase it’s the project’s root note. Reaper and FL Studio have no project key.
A Pro Tools key with flats doesn’t show yet. Sessions from Pro Tools 9 and earlier (.ptf) are listed and opened.
Share a link and collaborators comment right on the track, at the exact moment they mean. Guests need no account, and you can revoke any link from the desktop app.
Every bounce, sample and session where it belongs.
Files sort into buckets: DAW projects, Bounces, Stems, Samples, MIDI, Documents and Other. Outro keeps a list of the plugins your Ableton Live, Reaper, FL Studio and Studio Pro sessions use.
Reference tracks, chord ideas, what the artist said on the call, the settings you don’t want to lose. Notes live with the project instead of in an app you’ll never open again.
Pick what to count, how much and by when. The hours you log, the tasks you finish and the projects you complete add up on their own. For work Outro can’t count, write a checklist and tick it off.
Invite people by email. Everyone sees the same tasks, notes and feedback, and assigned tasks show who has them. Each person keeps their own folder, and Compare folders shows which files someone is missing.
