Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Magnar, the solo developer behind LiveMarks. Like many musicians and tech enthusiasts, I constantly found myself hitting walls with standard voice recorder apps: 1. Taking notes or rehearsal takes meant scrubbing back and forth endlessly through a 2-hour audio file trying to find that one golden 5-second idea. 2. Bringing field recordings into my DAW (like Reaper) was tedious and lost all context. 3. Doing the classic "car test" or checking mixes on my phone was tainted by loudness bias without proper level-matching. 4. Almost every modern app requires a cloud account, collects telemetry, and forces a recurring subscription. So I built LiveMarks to solve these exact frustrations with a strict "no-bloat, privacy-first" philosophy. 💡 What makes LiveMarks different? 🔹 Two Modes, One App: Switch effortlessly between Simple Mode (frictionless voice/lecture recording with one-tap color markers and loop practice) and Advanced Mode (studio-grade audio tools). 🔹 DAW-Ready WAV Export: Embeds your live markers as native standard cue chunks directly into WAV files. Drag the file straight into your DAW timeline with all markers preserved. 🔹 Gapless A/B Compare & Auto LUFS Match: Switch between your mix and a reference track with a 50ms crossfade and automatic loudness normalization so you evaluate tonal balance, not volume. 🔹 Direct SMB Network Export: Send recordings straight to your studio NAS or computer share over your local Wi-Fi. 🔹 100% Offline & No Subscriptions: No ads, no analytics, no accounts. Core features are free forever, with a single one-time unlock for unlimited markers. 🎁 Special for the Product Hunt community: I’d love to hear your feedback, workflow ideas, and feature requests! I’m giving away free Promo Codes to the PH community to unlock the full Lifetime version. Drop a comment below or DM me, and I'll send one your way! Let me know what you think, and thank you for the support! 🚀
