How it works

Fast, opinionated pipeline

Every stage is tuned to keep your sessions quick and reliable.

1) Detect & ingest

Point the ripper at your media - automatic detection grabs the right assets while keeping originals intact.

2) Validate metadata

Normalize titles, artists, and charts, and catch missing stems before exporting.

3) Export ready

Use export presets for Clone Hero or YARG with folder structures ready to drop in.

Security & trust

Built to be safe to run

No surprise network calls or telemetry - just the files you point it at.

Offline-first

Ripping, converting, and exports work locally. No internet required once you download the build.

Privacy aware

No analytics, tracking pixels, or bundled adware. You control what leaves your machine.

Verified packages

Signed installers where supported and checksums for every release. Build integrity is non-negotiable.
