 ## Phase 2 --- Project Persistence & Versions
 
--   [ ] Create new/open/save song projects locally.
+-   [x] Create new/open/save song projects locally.
 -   [ ] Implement project list.
 -   [ ] Implement immutable or snapshot-based version history.
 -   [ ] Restore a previous version without destroying later versions.
