<h3>Why We Built 13 Audio Tools That Run Entirely in Your Browser</h3>Audio editing has a UX problem.Want to slow down a song? Download software. Need to add cover art to a FLAC file? Install a desktop app. Creating a ringtone? Watch a 15-minute tutorial.We asked a different question: What if professional audio processing happened instantly, in a browser tab?The Problem SpaceThree groups kept hitting the same wall:Content creators need slowed + reverb effects, sped-up audio, or bass boosts—without learning a DAW.Music collectors want to edit metadata, add cover art, or convert formats losslessly—without installing desktop software.Everyday users just want to trim audio, extract from video, or boost volume—without friction.The tools existed.
