Everything a quick edit needs.

Open, edit, export

Open WAV, AIFF, CAF, MP3, or M4A by dropping a file on the window. Export the whole file or just the selection as 16-bit, 24-bit, or 32-bit float WAV or AIFF.

Select and cut with precision

Drag to select, adjust the edges, or type exact start and end times. Cut, copy, paste, trim, and delete, with undo and redo. Zoom in until you see individual samples.

The everyday processes

Normalize to −1 dB, change gain, fade in and out, silence, reverse, invert polarity, and remove DC offset. Each applies to the selection, or to the whole file when nothing is selected.

Instant playback

Play from the playhead or loop a selection straight from memory. Add markers to moments you want to revisit.

Make it yours.

Choose one of seven accent colors in Settings. The waveform, selection, and controls change together, right away.

Up and running in a few steps.

Good to know.

Simple Edit works on one file at a time and never changes your source file unless you choose to replace it when exporting. Markers last for the session and are not written into exports.

It runs in the App Sandbox and only reads the files you open. It has no analytics, account requirement, or network access.
