Studio-grade tools for people who keep real libraries.
Every feature is built around one premise: you already own this music. Kanora captures it cleanly, catalogues it honestly, and plays it back without compromise.
What Kanora does — and where it's still being built.
The status of each feature is shown honestly — what works today, what's experimental, and what's still in progress.
Recording brief
A tour of the app at its own pace: browsing the library, filtering by format, beginning a rip, making a metadata edit, and routing playback to AirPlay. No guided narration — just the app doing its job. The goal is for someone to come away with a clear sense of what it feels like to use Kanora day to day, before they dive into individual features.
Capture with care
Pristine disc imports with MusicBrainz lookup, artwork fetching, duplicate warnings, and multi-disc awareness built into the ripping flow.
Metadata you can trust
Track, album, and bulk editors with live previews, artwork comparison, library-aware suggestions, and deliberate metadata changes instead of invisible cleanup.
Analog to AirPlay
Live input monitoring with device selection and routing, aimed at letting a physical source move through the same playback system as the rest of your library.
DLNA revival
A revival path for DLNA, UPnP, and AllPlay-era speakers that still sound good but have largely been abandoned by modern software.
Vinyl & cassette recording
Recording sessions that start from a live source and end as tagged library entries, with enough metadata and import structure to make them feel native once captured.
Ownership by default
A product stance that treats music as something you can keep, organise, move, lend, and live with over time rather than as a temporary entitlement granted by a service.
From disc to device in three steps.
Capture
Rip a disc, bring in an existing folder, or capture a live source — without touching your folder structure.
Organise
Work through your library with the editors and filters at whatever pace suits you, with clear indicators for what's on device, in iCloud, or on an external drive.
Sync & Play
Your metadata flows through your personal iCloud, while upload/download/remove actions move files between SSD, USB, and the cloud on your terms.
Built properly from the start, with room to grow.
Read the build log →Format Fidelity
Lossless playback with headroom for quiet masters and bold remasters alike.
Recording
Vinyl and cassette capture (in development) that shelves every take beside your CDs.
File Presence
Honest indicators that show exactly where each track lives — on device, in iCloud, on an external drive, or not yet downloaded.
Ownership
Files live where you place them. Kanora never rearranges your shelves or locks you in.
In active development. Early access coming soon.
When it launches, it'll be a one-time license — no subscriptions, ever. Follow progress in the dispatches.
