About Curlo

Curlo is a privacy-centric macOS application designed for audio professionals and enthusiasts seeking efficient sound library management. Its standout feature is the AI-powered search capability that allows users to find sound effects (SFX) and music by simply describing what they want to hear, making the process intuitive and fast. Beyond search, Curlo enables users to preview, organize, and edit metadata, including tags and UCS, all while keeping their entire library local on their Mac. This focus on privacy ensures sensitive or proprietary sounds are never uploaded to the cloud, appealing to professionals who prioritize data security. With its combination of advanced AI search and comprehensive library management, Curlo streamlines workflows for sound designers, editors, and multimedia creators, reducing time spent searching through vast audio collections and enhancing creative productivity.
