Sceneboard
Read full descriptionHide full description
Sceneboard is a private, custom soundboard for your own sounds. Import an audio file, pull the audio out of a video, or record straight into the app — trim it, normalize its loudness, drop it on a big colourful pad, and fire it the instant you touch it. Built for tabletop game masters running ambience and effects at the table — and just as at home in a classroom, a podcast session, or anywhere you need your own sounds on cue. YOUR SOUNDS, NOT A CATALOGUE • Import audio files, extract the audio from videos, or record with the microphone • Trim on a waveform and normalize loudness — one tap makes a quiet clip as loud as the rest • Nothing is bundled and nothing is uploaded: every sound on your board is yours INSTANT, RELIABLE PLAYBACK • Pads fire the moment you touch them — no spinner, no confirmation, no delay • The live grid never scrolls and hides no gestures, so a tap in the dark always means play • Four per-pad modes: Restart, Interrupt, Overlap, and Loop (tap again to stop) • Smooth, click-free stops and seamless loops — even for clips that weren't made to loop • Loops keep playing with the screen off or the app in the background • Stop all in one tap; the Playing tray shows everything sounding — and stops any one sound, from any page MADE FOR THE TABLE • Big, legible pads with your labels, colours and icons — readable in a dim room at arm's length • Fixed pages with names and colours, switched from a permanent strip — never by a gesture that could misfire a pad • One app for iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape; pad positions are remembered per device and orientation • Your board shows your pads — not a screen padded out with empty cells; rotate the device and the same pads are simply rearranged • VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion supported throughout FAIR AND PRIVATE • Free forever: one board with 8 pads and the complete toolset — import, video extraction, recording, trim, normalize, every playback mode • A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited boards and pads, hardware keyboard shortcuts, and board export & sharing • Share a whole board — sounds included — by AirDrop or Messages; importing a shared board is free • No ads. No subscription. No account. No tracking. Your clips never leave your device. Your sounds. One tap. No ads.
