Meow is a fast and efficient audio and sample editor for quickly and easily getting general everyday audio and sample editing duties done.
It does not have a huge amount of features, but instead focuses on a fast, effective workflow and user interface.
IMPORTANT: Meow is free to try so you can see if the app suits your needs. However, to enable saving or sharing edited audio, a one-time In-App Purchase (IAP) is required.
KEY FEATURES:
- Fast, smart and efficient navigation and selection with optional snapping to zero crossings
- Undo and Redo (number of steps depends on file size)
- Automatic Crossfades (adjustable length) for most editing operations
- Interactive adjustable fade-in / fade-out points with various curve shapes
- Interactive loop cross-fade for creating seamless loops
- Nudging and manual entry of selection start / end or playhead for fine control
- Touch and mouse input fully supported
- Extensive hardware keyboard support with keyboard shortcuts including in-app reference
- Smart AutoZoom to reduce the need for manual panning / zooming
- Clipboard with automatic resampling and rechanneling
- Tempo and time signature support for editing and snapping to bars or beats, with automatic calculation from selection
- Resampling between any two supported sample rates (see below)
- In-App Recording from the device microphone with optional auto-normalize. Recording from external audio interfaces and in stereo is currently not guaranteed to work with all interfaces. Compatibility will be vastly improved in a future update.
- Sample-accurate editing and playback exactly according to selection
- Seamless and sample-accurate looping playback of selection

1.2.0
July 23, 2024

IMPROVEMENTS:
- Start and end fades can now be applied individually from the fade type dropdown.
FIXES:
- Prevent crash in case the operating system does not allow sharing.
- Various smaller fixes for edge cases.
After floundering about trying quite a lot of other so called audio editors that were little more than advertising junk I came across this. Exactly what I was looking for to perform things like trimming, gain, fades, loops, recording etc. I love the interface, very snazzy with help function to guide you where needed without ads! Supports dark theme. After ten minutes using it and getting the result I was looking for I purchased without hesitation to get the save and export functions. Great app. Highly recommended. Developer should be proud.
