Greetings!

If you've made it to this page, congrats! You've found the source of the community made Audiotool Desktop App.

What Is It? Can I Use It?

While the title pretty much explains it all, let me explain it again. I have gone through the effort of creating a desktop application designed to bring Audiotool out of your browser and onto your desktop. The app works exactly like the website, and even features two buttons on top to open the website or studio!

While there are many people on Audiotool from many platforms, this desktop app will only be available to Windows users. There will be future releases regarding other platforms (Mac, ChromeOS, Linux), however there's only a Windows release for now.

Is It Safe?

Absolutely! This application was designed to be very safe, and has absolutely no malicious intent. Below you can see a report from virus total. This report has said that 2 out of 71 malware detection services has flagged a file. This may come as a red flag to some, but I would like to reassure that you are welcome to pull apart the executable and view its contents. It is a simple Electron application that runs like a browser based application, except in the form of a desktop application.

If you are unsure about the 2 flags, read this article about false positives. It will explain how even the safest of files can still be mistaken for harmful.

Where Do I Download It?

Since I am not affiliated with Audiotool, I don't have a fancy link you can click to download like on their Audiotool Booster page. But, I do have the file hosted on Dropbox! You can find a link below to the file.

      Ohhhh, I see what you're getting at. Yeah, it is kind of the same but it works completely differently. I'm probably getting pretty technical here, but the difference between the two is how the application works. What I have created is an Electron application. The framework Electron uses is for native dekstop applications using the same components as a web browser (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc). Electron apps also have their own native APIs as well as better access to system resources.

      The homescreen audiotool app is called a Progressive Web App (PWA). They can be added to your home screen and operate like a browser while offering a native-like experience. However, the big problem with PWA's is performance. PWAs, like websites in a browser, are more lightweight and accessible on any device with a compatible browser. But the drawback is that they have very limited access to system resources.

      Overall, the application that I've made provides a bit more integration and greater resource access compared to a PWA. It's been probably one of the biggest driving factors behind making it, so I wanted to share it with others in case they found it useful. Honestly, I'd have built a full on piece of software rather than an Electron app but Audiotool keeps the source code needed for that hidden (like their Java code for a Heisenburg, as an example).

      Both definitely look the same, to a degree, but there is a difference in how they actually operate. I do appreciate you pointing it out though! It is a question I 100% should've answered in the post.

      the thing i'm trying to get across on the screenshot is the audiotool app. i don't know if it shows up for you in your account but it always does for me! the "add audiotool to your homescreen" notification. the audiotool app is essentially the same thing you made

      This is mainly to avoid having to use a browser. The image you just shared is essentially the same thing as saving a website to your desktop.
