Soundbender TagDeck
Local-first music curation workstation for AI music creators.
Turn generated-song chaos into a local, reviewable, organized music library.

Features
What TagDeck does
Integrated player
Listen, pause, skip, review and work through your library inside one app.
Explorer / Curator mode
Review songs one by one with fast rating, status, tags, notes and next actions.
Session mode and playlists
Build queues, internal playlists and listening passes for radio, release selection or DAW rescue.
Safe metadata tools
Read and edit supported file metadata with backup and validation when you explicitly save changes.
Internal creative organization
Keep ratings, status, project, mood, model, notes and next actions in local SQLite.
Customizable keyboard shortcuts
Create shortcut rules by context, field, value/action and key. Configure rating, status, genre, mood, internal tags, project, model, language, next action and app actions from Settings.
Export, import and backup
Export CSV/JSON, import data and use the backup/restore foundation to keep creative data portable.
Keyboard workflow
Customizable shortcuts for fast review
Contexts include Global, Library, Explorer and Session. Shortcut profiles can be exported and imported as JSON.
- Defaults are preserved: 1-9 for rating, 0 for rating 10, Ctrl+0 for reset zoom, Space for play/pause and Esc for cancel/clear.
- Shortcut rules can target context, field, value/action and key.
- Shortcuts do not trigger while typing in inputs, notes, lyrics, search fields, modals or editable fields.
Privacy
Local-first by design
TagDeck does not upload your music. TagDeck does not require an account. Creative organization data is stored locally in SQLite.
The manual update checker only performs a public GET request to soundbender.live.
It checks https://soundbender.live/tagdeck/latest.json and does not send your library, paths, song names or telemetry.
Beta notice
Use Beta 1 with care
TagDeck 1.4.0-beta.1 is beta software. Use it with care, keep backups of important music folders and test metadata writing on copied files first when possible.
- Removing songs from TagDeck does not delete audio files.
- Emptying the library does not delete audio files.
- Internal creative data stays in SQLite.
- Metadata writes use backup and validation, but should still be tested carefully during beta.
