Cassette, as built

Cassette is a private-first audio workspace for Windows: record immediately, organise and edit later, transcribe only when you choose. This gallery renders the shipped source at v2.4.7 with synthetic demo data, in every state the code can reach.

Status: v2.4.7 is accepted on the staging branch. It is not released, and real microphone capture has not passed qualification. These pages show the interface, not working hardware capture. See known issues.

Surfaces

Each surface is a whole place the user can be: the library, the recorder, the editor, transcript review and the dialogs. Thumbnails are live pages at the app's real 1280x800 layout, not screenshots.
