Conversion happens with local tools on your device so a server or random website can't ever access your files - they never leave your computer.

Converts audio, video, images, emails and documents.

That’s right yes. A one time purchase for all future updates

Largely due to an influx of users from the sound engineer community! Thank you for the support

Just read this article about my file converter app! Thanks for the amazing review and spotlight!

It's brought in a surge of new audio engineer users, so I will be adding even more audio conversions to the app in the coming weeks.

One of the biggest things is don’t waste too much time on your project until you’ve tested whether people want to pay for it. Get it out early and see.

I’ve wasted years on projects that no one ever wanted many times
