Squidbrain.
A fast way to capture audio — recordings, browser-tab sounds, samples — and get it into your DAW. Capture on your phone, in the browser, or with the Chrome extension; it syncs to your Mac and lands in a folder your DAW already reads.
You capture audio → it uploads to your Squidbrain Cloud → the Mac app delivers it into your Squidbrain folder on your Mac → you drop it into your DAW or sampler. Cloud is just a temporary pipe between your devices.
Yes. The Mac app is what delivers your captures into the Squidbrain folder your DAW reads. Without it, captures wait in Cloud and never reach your Mac. Install it from the onboarding "Set up your Mac" step or your Account page.
For the beta, yes — the delivery app is macOS only. You can capture from any browser or an iPhone, but samples are delivered to a Mac.
Your audio lives on your own devices. Cloud copies are temporary: once a sample is delivered they're deleted, and in any case after 7 days at the latest. We don't permanently store your recordings. See the Privacy Policy.
That means it's uploaded to Cloud but hasn't been delivered yet. Make sure the Mac app is running and signed in with the same account you captured from — it only delivers samples for the account it's logged into.
Audio is captured as lossless WAV. The Chrome extension and phone capture up to 60 seconds per clip; the web editor can also import and edit existing files.
Deleting removes the Cloud copy only. Anything already delivered to your Squidbrain folder stays on your Mac.
Yes. Audio passes through Cloud only to reach your devices, is encrypted in transit and at rest, and is never sold or used to train anything.
Use "Delete account" in the app's Account screen. This erases your Cloud and account data; files already on your devices remain yours.
