Your music business, filed.

Vault Clerk is a desktop app for independent musicians. It sorts a messy Inbox into your vault, finds anything inside your documents, and answers briefs with filled paperwork and the right audio. It runs on your own computer, and nothing happens until you say yes.

Turn the wheel. Your files are in.

LOCAL by default, nothing uploaded NO account, no cloud NEVER deletes anything MAC & WINDOWS

HOW IT WORKS

From a messy Inbox to a vault you can find things in.

Independent musicians run a small business out of downloads, email attachments and desktop folders. Vault Clerk works like the clerk at a bank vault: it takes what you hand over, puts it in the right box, and brings back what you need when a request comes in.

  1. I

    Inbox

    Point it at a messy Inbox folder. It suggests where each file belongs in your vault, with a short reason.

  2. II

    File

    You check the plan and say yes. It copies files into your vault, and your Inbox keeps every original.

  3. III

    Request

    Paste a sync brief, live offer or collab request. It builds the package: filled paperwork, the right audio and a rights summary.

  4. IV

    Pitch

    Turn chosen projects into a password-protected listening page that you upload to your own web host.

WHAT IT DOES

One vault for the business side of your music.

Vault Clerk works with the vault folder you already keep. It learns how you file from the corrections you make.

INGEST & SEARCH

Filing that learns how you file

  • Smart filing suggestions, each with a reason
  • Spots exact duplicates and old versions
  • Suggests clean names for bounces and stems
  • Searches inside PDF, Word, Excel and text files
  • Reads scans and photos of documents on Mac
REQUEST

Answer a brief in one go

  • Matches a brief to your catalogue and checks rights status
  • Fills your own templates: contracts, quotes, invoices, split sheets and riders
  • Or pick one of four ready-made template looks
  • Uses your details only after you've checked them
  • Builds the package for you to send yourself
PITCH & RIGHTS

Pitch what's clear to pitch

  • Marks each project LIVE or DARK, with the reason
  • Password-protected pitch rooms that expire on the date you set
  • You choose what people can do: listen, download, originals or stems
  • You choose what they see: catalogue, ISRC, writers, lyrics
  • DARK projects share preview copies only, never masters

YOUR FILES

Nothing leaves the vault without your say-so.

Vault Clerk runs on your own computer and opens in your browser at a private local address. The app needs no account and no cloud.

A PLAN BEFORE EVERY ACTION

Every action is shown as a plan first, and nothing happens until you say yes.

NEVER DELETES

Files are copied into your vault. Duplicates and junk go to a Trash folder inside your vault that only you empty.

A WALLED-OFF DRAWER

Your identity and tax drawer is never read, never copied out and never sent to any AI. Password lists and recovery codes are found by name only.

AI STAYS HOME

Any AI is optional and runs on your own computer. Nothing goes to a cloud AI, and it never emails anyone for you.

HERE'S WHAT I'LL DO
COPYsplit-sheet.pdf→ reads like a split sheet
COPYmix_v3_final.wav→ newest bounce of this song
TRASHmix_v3_final (1).wav→ exact duplicate, kept in your vault's Trash
Nothing happens until you say yes.
