YOUR AUDIO TOOLKIT,
HIDDEN IN THE MENU BAR.

Talune is a native macOS utility for people who work with audio files every day. Select files in Finder, press ⌘<, and Talune converts them in parallel, straight from the menu bar. No window to open. Also: waveform snippets, bulk metadata edits, and a vinyl-spinning video export for socials.
