Soniteq is the Music Creator Operating System — an operating layer around your DAW that handles project planning, delivery preparation, and batch audio work for professional music creators. Its flagship product, Kora, manages albums, projects, deliverables, contacts, and focus sessions outside the DAW, replacing the fragmented stack of spreadsheets, Notion boards, and generic task apps that working producers and composers otherwise assemble themselves. Soniteq is local-first, Mac-first, and creator-first: core project data stays on the user's machine, and creator content is never used to train AI models.
Soniteq is the Music Creator Operating System — an operating layer around your DAW that handles project planning, delivery preparation, and batch audio work for professional music creators. It was founded by Chris Ulmer to close the gap between finishing a session and correctly delivering the files, the operational space where working producers, film and TV composers, sound designers, and sync songwriters lose hours every week. Most professional music creators run five to seven disconnected tools: a project tracker in Notion, a client list in a spreadsheet, delivery notes in a notes app, files scattered in Finder, and follow-ups managed by memory. Soniteq replaces that fragmented stack with one connected system built around music-native objects — albums, tracks, versions, stems, deliverables, and clients — rather than generic tasks and documents. The suite has three products. Kora, available now for macOS, is the creator operating system for projects, delivery tracking, creative focus, and client relationships; Kai, the local-first operating intelligence built into Kora, knows a creator's projects and deadlines and proposes the next best action without ever acting on its own. Export Flow, the delivery engine for naming conventions, metadata embedding and preflight validation, and Key Shift Pro, which generates batch key variants for sync and library submissions, are both available today inside Kora — Export Flow on the Creator and Pro plans, Key Shift Pro on Pro. Standalone versions of each are planned but not yet released. Soniteq is local-first, Mac-first, and creator-first. Core project data stays on the user's machine, cloud connectivity is optional and additive, and creator content is never used for model training, behavioral profiling, or resale to third parties.

Soniteq is the Music Creator Operating System — an operating layer around your DAW that handles project planning, delivery preparation, and batch audio work for professional music creators.
Kora is Soniteq's Mac-first creator operating system for music professionals. It manages albums, projects, deliverables, contacts, and focus sessions outside the DAW. Kora is not a DAW, not a file manager, and not a generic task app.
Kai is the local-first operating intelligence built into Kora — a studio brain that knows your projects, deadlines, deliveries, and relationships, remembers what matters, and proposes the next best action without ever acting on its own.
Export Flow is Soniteq's audio delivery engine. It validates naming conventions, embeds metadata, runs preflight checks against delivery requirements, and assembles delivery-ready packages so creators never send the wrong file.
Included with Kora on the Creator and Pro plans. A standalone version is planned but not yet released, so Kora is currently the only way to get it.
Key Shift Pro is Soniteq's batch key-transposition utility. It generates pitch-shifted versions of source audio across up to all 12 keys in a single batch, with auto-named outputs tagged by key — built for sync writers and production music composers servicing multi-key briefs.
Included with Kora on the Pro plan. A standalone version is planned but not yet released, so Kora is currently the only way to get it.
