ComposerDeck
Launch App
◤ COMMON QUESTIONS · 22 ENTRIES

Everything you wanted to ask,
already answered.

Pricing, daily draws, submissions, account, community. If we missed something, drop us a line.

◤ Billing & Pricing

Is ComposerDeck really free? +
Yes. The daily draw, your profile, audio submissions, the blog and the cards themselves are free forever. We may launch a Pro tier later (custom decks, exports, advanced stats) but the core daily practice will always stay free.
Do I need a credit card to sign up? +
No. Email + password (or Apple / Google sign-in). No card, no trial timer, no surprise charge.
Are you funded? How do you make money? +
We are bootstrapped. Right now revenue is zero — we run on personal savings and a small grant. The future Pro tier will fund the team. We are not VC-backed and have no plans to be.

◤ How draws work

Can I re-draw if I don't like a card? +
Yes — but each card has a lock toggle. Locked cards survive a re-draw. The point is to commit to discomfort, but we won't police you.
What is a Malus card? +
A constraint you must respect, not a tool you may use. "Reverse your main theme", "no chorus repetition", "swap instruments every section". Half our users love them, half hate them — both reactions are correct.
How is "draw of the day" picked? +
Editors curate it manually based on freshness and the variety of submissions it's already attracting. We don't algorithm-rank.
Do I need music theory? +
No. About 30% of users are total beginners. Cards are the brief, not an exam. Swap any card you don't understand — that's what re-draw is for.
How many cards per day? +
You choose between 1 and 3. The default is 3. Beginners often start with 1 — a single chord or mode is plenty.

◤ Audio submissions

How do I submit audio? +
After a draw, a "Submit Audio" button appears for 7 days. Upload an MP3 or WAV up to 10 MB. Your submission is tied to that specific draw forever.
Can I delete a submission? +
Yes — anytime, from your profile. Comments and hearts go with it.
Who owns my audio? +
You do, 100%. We do not claim, license, or distribute your music. We only host it for playback on the platform. Delete anytime.
Can I keep my submission private? +
Yes. Each submission has a public/private toggle at upload. Private submissions still count for your streak but are visible only to you.

◤ Account & privacy

How do I delete my account? +
Profile → Account systems → Delete account. Type DELETE MY ACCOUNT to confirm. Irreversible. Consider downloading your data first.
Can I export my data (RGPD)? +
Yes. Profile → Account systems → Export data. You get a ZIP with your draws, submissions (audio files included), comments and profile within 24 hours.
Can I make my profile private? +
Yes. Edit profile → toggle "Private profile". Your handle stays visible (so people can follow you), but draws, submissions and stats become hidden.

◤ Community & safety

How do you moderate? +
Three-strike system on reports. The team reviews every report manually within 24h. We're strict on harassment, indifferent on bad music.
Is there a Discord / community? +
Not yet — a Discord (or similar community space) is on the roadmap and will open once we've onboarded our first wave of composers. In the meantime, please email us for anything you need.
