# Sample Vault

> Sample Vault is a sample browser for music producers. Find the sound you already
> own by description, acoustic similarity, musical properties, or a reference track.

Sample Vault scans local sample folders on Windows and macOS. It analyzes tempo,
key, scale, waveform, and 30+ measured characteristics on the user's machine.
Everyday search combines filenames, tokens, filters, and local meaning-based
matching. Files stay where they are unless the user opts into cloud backup.
