01What it does

Describe the song. Find the song.

Kenrook Music builds a private index of your library, so you can search by sound as easily as by title.

Describe a sound
Search for “slow piano for a rainy evening” and get tracks that sound like it, not only ones with matching titles.
Tags it for you
Genre from hundreds of styles, mood, and the instruments it hears, filled in for every track.
Key, tempo and chords
Find songs in the right key and tempo for a mix, a set or a practice session.
More like this
Start from one song and find the tracks that belong next to it.
The formats you have
MP3, FLAC, WAV, OGG, M4A, AAC, WMA and Opus, read where they already live.
Indexes in the background
Make a folder searchable and keep listening. Pause and resume whenever you like.

02Analysis

Every track, described for you.

Music analyzes each file on your computer and fills in what it hears. Use the tags to sort, filter and build sets, or just to get to know your own library.

Start small
A basic sound-search pack gets you going. Detailed analysis and extra models are optional downloads.
Uses the hardware you have
Runs on an ordinary processor, and on Apple silicon it can use the graphics chip for some models.
