What this is,
and what it is not.

We put your music on the major streaming services as our delivery connections go live, and we keep one clear, shared record of who agreed to what, who can see it, and who gets paid — with every figure traceable to the report it came from. It’s the first platform we know of where the music and its rights record are one system; we call that rights-native.

There is now. We call it rights-native distribution: delivery and the rights record built as one system instead of two. We named it because we could not find anyone else doing it, and a thing without a name is hard to ask for.

Release Assurance is the pre-release check that shows, in one view, whether a release is actually ready: the claims, confirmations, evidence, and policy status, with anything missing named plainly instead of discovered after the fact. It records what has been confirmed rather than declaring legal clearance, and the Release Assurance page walks through exactly how it works.

They are two doors into the same record, not two products. Creator OS is the warm door, for the person who made the work: your catalog, your collaborators, your evidence, your money. Roster OS is the cool door, for managers and label teams: everyone who granted you access, what is blocked, what is held, what is nearest to ready.

The colour of the room tells you which authority you are standing in. Warm is yours. Cool is borrowed.

Worth being precise, because the category is new.

We are not a label. We do not sign you, own your masters, or take a piece of your work. We are not your manager, so we do not represent you or make decisions on your behalf. We are not a PRO or publisher, so composition registration and publishing royalties still run through the MLC, your PRO, and your publisher. And we are not a bank: a regulated payment provider handles identity verification, tax, and the actual movement of your money.

What we do is hold the governed record, and put the music on the major streaming services as our delivery connections go live.

Artists, producers, writers, managers, and label teams. If you split money with anyone, or you keep track of people who do, it is for you.

No. On Creator OS there is nothing to bring. Upload the work, invite the people on it, agree the splits, and we deliver to the major streaming services as our connections go live.

No. On Roster OS you can connect your existing distribution, and we read the reports back in so your splits, permissions, evidence, and statements live here without moving your catalog. If you would rather run everything in one place, you can move delivery to us instead.

Independent labels usually pick the second one, because two systems means two versions of the truth and somebody has to reconcile them.

We are building against open distribution and reporting APIs so a label can connect what it already runs. Rather than publish a list we cannot yet stand behind, tell us what you use and we will tell you honestly where it sits in the queue.

Delivery is roughly the same everywhere. What is different is what survives the trip. On most platforms your splits are a settings screen, your evidence is an email thread, and your statement is a number you cannot open. Here the terms are countersigned and immutable, unaccepted shares are held rather than quietly reassigned, permissions are enforced rather than implied, and every figure descends to the report it came from.

You should not have to choose between a distributor that works and a record you can trust. That is the whole reason we exist.

No. Nothing about using Splitkeep transfers ownership of anything. You keep your masters, your copyrights, and your catalog.

Yes, and you take all of it: your works, your accepted terms, your evidence, and your statements, exported in one click, on your own initiative, with no retention call and no exit fee. A platform you cannot walk away from is not one you control.

We have not published pricing yet. We are pre-launch and still in controlled evaluation. When we do publish it, the terms will be on this site and in your agreement in plain language, not buried in a schedule.

It is held, and the hold names the person, the exact terms version they have not accepted, and how long it has been waiting. It does not quietly return to whoever uploaded the track. Held money is visible to everyone in the split, not just to whoever runs the account.

No. Not on your recordings, your agreements, your splits, or your relationships. We don't sell that data, and we don't feed it into anyone else's model. Training is the one thing a person can never take back — and our whole model rests on you being able to take things back — so it's a line we don't cross.

There is a deeper reason, too: your splits belong to more than one person, so no single participant could ever agree to it on everyone else's behalf. And your record carries a signed do-not-train preference that travels with it, so your choice is stated wherever the record goes.

Your data will not be taken, sold, or studied behind your back. That is the whole reason the platform is built the way it is.

No, and neither can anyone who tells you otherwise. What we can do is provenance and recourse: record who claimed what, exactly, and when, connect that claim to what everyone agreed, and give you a record that is portable and hard to dispute dishonestly. Anyone promising your work can be made un-copyable is selling you something that does not exist.

No. Release Assurance records claims, confirmations, evidence, and policy status, and it tells you what is missing by naming the artifact. It does not declare legal ownership or clearance, and it is not a legal conclusion about copyright. Anything that claims otherwise is a system that gets people sued when it is wrong.

Exactly what you granted, and nothing else, enforced in the database rather than in the interface. You can narrow it or revoke it at any time and it takes effect immediately. You can also see what they have looked at.

One honest limit: revocation stops future access, but it cannot un-see something a person already lawfully viewed or exported. We would rather say that plainly than imply a guarantee we cannot keep.

Yes, and that is the point. Scoped, time-limited, revocable access to exactly what they need. Give your accountant your statements. Not your account.

The governed record is working now: splits, permissions, evidence, the ledger, statements, and roster views, running in controlled evaluation on synthetic data.

The connections come next, and they are being activated: distribution delivery, royalty report ingestion, and payouts through licensed payment partners. We will not tell you a rail is live when it is not, and you can hold us to that.

Not self-serve yet. We are running walkthroughs and a small number of design partnerships while the connections are activated. Tell us where you sit and what you are trying to keep straight, and we will show you the part that matters to you.
