SFXPick is a native Windows app — not a browser wrapper. That means a proper audio engine, low latency, and formats the web simply can't play.

The quick facts about how SFXPick works.
Yes — free, with no account and no sign‑up. Download it and point it at a folder.
Windows, as a small native desktop app. The desktop runtime is tiny and there's no Chromium or Node under the hood.
WAV (including 24‑bit, 32‑bit and float), FLAC, MP3, AIFF, M4A/AAC and more — formats browser‑based tools often can't play.
Designed for huge libraries — it's been run on a real collection of around 147,000 sounds and stays fast.
No. SFXPick is read‑only. The only time it copies anything is when you explicitly export your favorites to a folder.
Locally. The index and your favorites live in a small local database on your machine. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
