The desktop client for SoundAssist, on Windows and macOS. All your tracks, files, and inbox in one native window, with right-click upload and automatic updates. Its headline feature is per-app audio capture: stream sound from any application (DAW, Tidal, Traktor, browser) straight into a live session; no plugins, no routing. Capture is on Windows today and comes to the Mac build in an upcoming signed release.

Heads up: Windows will warn that this app is from an unknown publisher.
That's normal for new apps without a paid EV certificate. When you see “Windows protected your PC”, click More info, then Run anyway. Full explanation below.
Download & unzip
The download is a ZIP file. Open it and extract SoundAssistConnect-Setup.exe to your desktop or Downloads folder.
Run the installer
Double-click the .exe. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway. SoundAssist Connect appears in your Start menu when done.
Pick what to stream
Open the app and start a session. Pick the application you want to capture; your DAW, Tidal, Traktor, your browser, anything that makes sound. Per-app capture is recommended over capturing your whole soundcard, which can echo back into the room.
Share the link
Connect generates a room code and a shareable link. Your listener opens it in any browser; no install needed on their end.
Hit play
Press Play in whatever app you picked. Your listener hears it within a second, at full quality. Chat and video run alongside in the web app.
Connect is the full SoundAssist desktop client. Everything the web app does, in a native window with drag-and-drop, native notifications, and offline-friendly caching:
Your music
Your masters and works-in-progress, ready to play or share.
Storage
Your files and folders, backed up.
Inbox
DMs and feedback threads from collaborators and clients.
Drag-and-drop uploads
Drop audio straight from Explorer or Finder into your archive.
Windows SmartScreen warns about apps from publishers it doesn't recognize yet. SoundAssist Connect is a brand-new app from a small company, so it hasn't built up the install-history that Microsoft's reputation system uses to whitelist apps automatically.
The fastest way to silence the warning is to buy an EV code-signing certificate, which costs around $400 per year and requires a hardware key shipped to the company address. We're a young product and chose to put that budget into audio quality and uptime first. Once enough engineers install and run Connect without flagging it, SmartScreen lifts the warning on its own.
On macOS, Gatekeeper warns for the same reason: the app isn't signed with a paid Apple Developer ID yet, which costs $99 per year. We're putting that budget into audio quality first too. Right-click the app and choose Open (Sequoia: System Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Open Anyway) and it launches normally from then on.
The installer is safe.
