Blueprint Details
Category: Creator Tools
Estimated Build Time: 10-12 focused hours
Should You Build This?
- Best for: Builders targeting podcasters, voiceover artists, or musicians who need offline clip editing on an iPhone/iPad.
- Prerequisites: Comfortable with AVFoundation (importing, trimming, exporting) and implementing waveform UI approximations.
- You'll ship: Library of audio files, in-app recorder, waveform editor with draggable handles, multi-slice management, and export/share flows.
- Skip if: You require DSP-heavy editing, cloud sync, or multi-track mixing—this blueprint focuses on single-track slicing.
1. Product Brief
- Problem: Creators need to quickly extract highlights from recordings without sending files to the cloud or opening a desktop DAW.
- Solution: A streamlined SwiftUI tool that imports/records audio, displays an interactive waveform, and lets users create & export multiple slices entirely on-device.
- Target Users: Podcasters clipping interviews, musicians harvesting loops, language learners making flashcard snippets, social media teams.
- Guiding Principles: Low latency playback, visual clarity of slice regions, offline privacy, and exports that work with common destinations (Messages, Files, DAWs).
- Success Signals: Import/record succeeds on first try, waveform renders within 2 seconds for 30-min file, slices export under 5 seconds.
