macOS native DAW with Git branching model
I am working on building (and have made my first prerelease) for a Digital Audio Workstation with git like branching version control. It's free for local use and paid for cloud syncing or collaboration.

In plain words
ScratchTrack is a macOS digital audio workstation featuring a Git-like branching model for version control, allowing users to manage multiple versions of their projects. The software is free for local use, with paid options available for cloud syncing and collaborative features. It targets music producers and audio engineers who need flexible project management alongside traditional DAW functionality.

A collaborative DAW with built-in version control. Record, branch, merge, and collaborate on music without losing creative control.
ScratchTrack brings powerful branching and merging to audio production. Experiment freely, collaborate without conflicts, and never lose a take again. Every recording, edit, and mix decision tracked. Branch to experiment, merge what works. Not another DAW trying to do everything. ScratchTrack focuses on what matters: capturing ideas and keeping them organized. Create branches to explore different arrangements, mix approaches, or instrument choices without affecting your main session. Merge back what works. Work with session musicians, producers, or co-writers asynchronously. ScratchTrack handles merge conflicts intelligently so you stay in creative flow. Every recording, edit, and mix…from scratchtrackaudio.com

Audiocube – A 3D DAW for Spatial Audio2025 · audiocube.app · ▲253I’ve recently released my solo project Audiocube I wanted to make a 3D DAW, where spatial audio, physics, and virtual acoustics are all directly integrated into the engine. This makes it easy to create music in 3D, and experiment with new techniques which aren’t possible in traditional DAWs and plugins. I’d love to get any feedback on this software (Mac/Windows) to make it better. You can download it for free through the website. Thanks, Noah

Jolt started as an experiment to see whether I could build my own network at all. I’ll also be honest that most of this code was agentically written. However the high level decisions and architecture were mine based on research, experimentation, trial and error. Canary testing was one of the consequences of that when you build this way you need something slapping your AI-driven confidence…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
