Beatmakr [BETA]

A desktop app for producers who want full control over their beat catalog. Import, organize, tag, search, playlist, preview, and export — all offline, all local.

Beat library — cards with waveform, BPM, key, tags, and inline player

Playlists — auto-generated by tag, by collaborator, or fully custom

Import

File import	Drag-and-drop, file picker, or folder import Supports MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG, OPUS, WMA, M4A, AIFF Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+I Duplicate detection — skips files already in the library Progress indicator with file count and current filename
Watch folders	Configure folders that are auto-scanned on launch Re-scans when the app regains focus (after 5s away from the app) Perfect for DAW export folders — new renders appear automatically
Auto metadata	BPM, key, and cents offset extracted from filename patterns Collaborators and producers parsed (feat., prod., w/, etc.) Embedded audio tags read via music-metadata (bitrate, sample rate, channels) File creation date preserved as dateImported
