Your music will circulate. Your proof must exist beforehand.
Demos, beats, drafts and working files can circulate in seconds between studios, collaborators, labels, platforms — and now AI tools too. TuneLockr helps you create a dated point of reference before for when this version starts to circulate.
Plagiarism & unauthorised reproductions
A beat, topline, lyrics or a melody can be used, published or exploited without your consent.
File shared beyond your control
A demo sent to a collaborator may be forwarded, modified or shared far outside the original circle.
AI & new uses
Training, generation, voice cloning or repurposing of stems create new scenarios that are difficult to document after the fact.
The real issue: creating a point of reference before your music begins to circulate.
The good news
Protect this version takes just a few minutes.
No lengthy procedures or legal expertise required. Add your creation, enter the authors, and download your certificate.

TuneLockr Rights Engine
Designed for modern music rights.
A work no longer exists in just one channel. It is shared, licensed, reused, circulates on platforms, and may be subject to new uses related to AI.
TuneLockr organises your proofs, permissions, and usage signals around a single creation, keeping a clear record of rights throughout its life.
One work, one history Proofs, licences, and uses remain linked.
Explicit permissions You define what is allowed — or not.
Ongoing control Your rights do not end at the moment of registration.

Questions?
Proof, privacy, licences, AI or monitoring: find the essentials here before you start.
What does the TuneLockr certificate prove?
It links the digital fingerprint of your file to a specific date and your submission. This documents the existence of this version of your creation at a precise moment in time.
Does TuneLockr prevent plagiarism?
No. TuneLockr cannot prevent someone from copying or using a creation. However, it does help you document the existence of a specific version at a given date and to keep a clear record relating to your work.
Will my files remain private?
Your uploads are not made public. If you voluntarily create a share link, those with the link can access the shared file during its availability period.
How long does it take to submit?
Expect the upload process to take about two minutes. The duration varies depending on the file and your connection. Once the information is entered, your email verified, and the upload completed, you'll find the certificate in your TuneLockr space.
What types of creations can I upload?
Songs, beats, demos, lyrics, sheet music, stems, cover artwork, and projects from your music production software.
Can I add co-authors?
Yes. You can associate relevant collaborators with the submission to better document everyone involved in the creation.
What can I do after protecting my work?
Depending on your plan, a protected work can then form the basis for your permissions and licences, for specifying certain permitted uses, and for monitoring its online usage.
Can I manage uses relating to artificial intelligence?
Your licenses may specify permissions related to certain uses, such as AI training, generation or use of stems. These conditions outline contractual permissions; they do not technically block all uses on the Internet.
How does music monitoring work?
You activate monitoring for the works of your choice, within the limits provided by your offer. The available matches are centralised in your area to be examined with their source and context. Coverage depends on accessible sources and activated works. The first free deposit does not automatically activate monitoring.
Does TuneLockr replace a collecting society?
No. TuneLockr provides tools for proof, licensing, and monitoring. Collecting societies have other roles related to managing and collecting certain rights.
Is the first deposit really free without a credit card?
Yes. You can deposit a first creation and obtain its certificate without a credit card. An account and the verification of your email address allow you to finalise the deposit and retrieve your proof.
How to share a file for free?
Add your file, then create a sharing link from a verified account. The recipient can open it without an account. Availability can be up to seven days depending on the conditions displayed in the application. Sharing is separate from proof deposit and licensing: choose the action suited to your need.
How long is my original file retained?
For new free deposits, the original is retained for 45 days, followed by a 15-day recovery period before its deletion. Your certificate remains downloadable. A suitable offer can extend retention before deletion; it does not restore an already deleted original. Conditions for old deposits remain applicable to them.
