Arc Search · early access

Building the AI-native workflow for audio professionals

An AI-native workflow that keeps control in the hands of creators, while accelerating the non-creative work. Our first product, Arc Search, finds the right files in your library from a plain-language description or a reference clip. All entirely local to your device. Your files are never uploaded, modified, or trained on.

Arcantus

AI handles the groundwork You keep creative control

Arcantus builds AI-native tools for professional sound design. We are reimagining how creators work with AI technology by embedding it into workflows that emphasize taste and creativity. Arc Search is built from the bottom up for the slowest part of sound design: finding the right source material in your own library. Our goal is to make the most efficient sound search tool available. So you can find better sounds faster and spend more time creating.

The exact file and take you need

Every result opens on an editable waveform. Pull one take from a long recording, shift pitch and playback rate independently, loop the region, and zoom in close. What you audition is what exports.

Describe it, or drop a clip

One slider covers multiple ways to find a sound. One end runs traditional keyword and metadata search while the sonic end takes a plain-language description to match on context. Set it anywhere in between to blend the two. Have a reference sound or an example result? Drop it into the search bar to find results that match how it sounds. Whichever way you search, every result shows how it matched.
