Sonovault runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 74 installs a week from npm. Last commit 19 Oct 2026.
Search 93M+ tracks, artists, and releases: metadata, BPM, key, ISRC/ISWC, cross-platform IDs for AI.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Sonovault every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
