Features

Visual Browser

Your samples appear as dots on a map. Similar sounds cluster together based on their audio characteristics, so you can explore the map instead of scrolling through folder lists.

  • GPU-accelerated OpenGL/Metal rendering
  • Smooth pan and zoom navigation
  • Colours show different sound types
Visual Sound Map
Semantic Search

Semantic Search

Describe what you want ("bright pluck", "dark pad") to find similar sounds. Uses semantic matching to understand audio content, not just filenames. All machine learning models run locally on your machine. Your sounds never leave your computer.

  • Text-to-audio matching
  • Similar sample search
  • Adjustable similarity threshold

Folder Management

Add multiple sample folders and turn them on or off as needed. The map updates instantly without needing to rescan everything.

  • Multiple folder support
  • Toggle folders on/off dynamically
  • Settings saved between sessions
