Keep producing, Grind handles the rest.

Find the beat an artist asks for, follow up with the people who opened your pack, and keep every placement on the file it came from.

The Grind library on macOS: 623 beats grouped by month, each with its tags, its key, its date and its tempo.
Before and after

Same beats. Finally in order.

Grind reads the folders you already have and shows every beat in one library, with its tempo, key and your tags. Nothing is moved or renamed. Attach a contract or split sheet once and it stays with that beat. Less time searching, more time making beats.

The same beats in Grind: the Grind library in dark mode, every beat with its reference artists and genre, date, tempo and key.
Your folders today: a Finder folder of files named final, final_v2, final_v3_REAL, bounce (1) and export final FINAL.

Inside Grind

From the DAW to the placement.

Grind remembers where each beat lives, who got it, who opened it and where it landed, so you can get back to making music.

Smart Send in Grind: three beats to three contacts, one by Gmail, one by iMessage, and one who still needs an email address.

Send it

From your own Gmail or iMessage, one message per contact.

A contact in Grind: every pack sent, and which ones were opened.

Follow up

See who opened your pack. Follow up with them first.

Privacy matters

Your catalog stays on your Mac, not in a Grind cloud. A pack leaves only when you send it, through your own accounts, and Grind never uses your music to train AI.

A placement in Grind: streams platform by platform, with the contract and the split on the same beat.

Track the placement

When the song drops, record it on the original beat, with its contract and splits. With Pristine, Grind finds the release under your names: you link it to the beat, and its streams follow.

Beat Finder in Grind: a voice note compared by sound with the catalog, four beats ranked.

Find it by ear

Drop in a snippet or a voice note. Grind compares the sound and ranks the matches in your library.

Build your kits

Kit Builder finds the samples in your FL Studio projects, sorts them by type, and plays a groove before anything leaves. Other DAWs are on the way.

How it works

Your beat’s journey.

Grind remembers every step: where the beat lives, who got it, who opened it, and where it landed.

  1. 01

    Add your catalog

    Point Grind at a beat, a folder or a whole drive. Your files stay where they are.

    A folder dragged from the Finder into Grind, read, then listed with its 214 beats beside the folders already watched.
  2. 02

    Find what you need

    Grind reads the BPM and key from the audio. Add your own tags, and any beat is one search away.

    A beat in Grind: its waveform playing, the tempo and key read from the audio, then its moods, genres and reference artists.
  3. 03

    Send the pack

    Pick the beats or loops, then the contacts. Each contact gets their own message, from your Gmail or iMessage.

    Three sound files picked in a Finder list for John, sent by iMessage, and marked Sent.
  4. 04

    Keep the trail

    See which packs were delivered, who opened them, and what each contact already has from you.

    A beat pack sent to six artists: who opened it and when, which is still sending, which was delivered, and one mailbox full.
  5. 05

    Connect the placement

    When the song drops, match it to the original beat. The contract and splits stay with it, and with Pristine, its streams.

    A producer page: four placements arrive and settle, and their certifications drop onto the records.
  6. 06

    Share your placements

    With Pristine, put your placements and their real numbers on one producer page, one link to drop in your bio.

FAQ

Questions about Grind.

Straight answers about the app, your files and your plan.

What is Grind?

Grind is a macOS app for managing your beats and loops. It helps you find them, track who you sent them to, and connect each placement to its original file.

Does Grind upload my beat library?

No. Your catalog stays on your Mac. Grind doesn’t upload your library to its own cloud, and it doesn’t use your music to train AI.

Does Grind move or rename my files?

No. Grind indexes your files where they already are.

Does Grind read my Gmail inbox?

Grind asks for send-only permission: enough to send from your own address, nothing more. It cannot read, list or delete anything in your mailbox. A refused address is known from the sending server’s reply, at the moment of sending.

Which DAWs does Grind support?

Any. Grind works on the audio files you export, whatever DAW made them. Kit Builder, which pulls samples from project files, reads FL Studio projects today. Other DAWs are on the way.

Is Grind available for Windows?

Not yet. Grind runs on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, on macOS 12 or later. Windows and iOS versions are on the way.

How does the free trial work?

You get 14 days of Grind on the plan you pick. You add your card when you sign up, and the first charge only comes once the 14 days are up. Cancel from your account before then and you pay nothing.

Can I cancel?

Yes, from your account, any time. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and you keep access until the end of the period you paid for.

Who built Grind?

Two producers, Lucas and Atake. Before opening, Grind was tested in private beta by Grammy-nominated producers with multiple SNEP Diamond and RIAA Platinum records.

Every beat has a story. Grind remembers it.
