Preview any sample without opening your DAW

Waveform previews, multi-library management, and linked project tracking. Click a sample, see the waveform, hear it instantly.

Deckable sample browser showing audio files across your project library

TL;DR: Browse every sample library on your machine in one view. Click a sample, see the waveform, hear it instantly — no DAW required. See which projects use each sample and which samples each project uses.

The scattered samples problem

Sample packs pile up across downloads folders, external drives, and DAW-specific directories. Finding a specific kick or texture means opening multiple folders and auditioning files blindly. Deckable puts every library in one searchable view.

Click, see the waveform, hear it

Click any sample to see its waveform and hear it immediately. Pure-Rust audio decoding with hash-based caching means previews load instantly, even on large libraries. No DAW required.

Multi-library management

Add multiple sample libraries from the sidebar and scan them independently. Organize packs by source, genre, or project. Filter by library to narrow results, then search by name to find exactly what you need.

See where every sample lives

Deckable shows which projects use each sample and which samples appear in each project. Click through from the sample detail panel to see every session referencing that file. No more guessing where you used a particular loop or one-shot.
