When the App Launches a List of demo sounds are shown, these are demo sounds included to show how it works. You can drag your own folders of sounds from other places and it will let you categorize them, save them and play them. Once categorized you can export the categories as macOS Finder Tags

Music production, sound design, soundtrack work and general sample management is the focus here. Not intended for songs, it's for playing sounds that one would use in music apps like Logic or GarageBand.

If you have a lot of sounds on your computer and need a quick and easy way to organize and play them then AudioCortex is for you. The introduction price is $9.95 and will be raised early 2021.

Release notes:
Bug fix update. Better memory performance on large sound collections.
