Sound Ninja

Sound Ninja is an Open Source Soundboard App with maximal customizability option to create your best Soundboard. Perfect for **live streaming, chatting with friends or podcast recording**. 😉👍

🥷 Why SoundNinja?

The core pillars of SoundNinja are high performance and deep customizability.

Most existing soundboard apps are difficult to read and clunky to control on small displays or inside VR environments. SoundNinja solves this by providing a highly accessible, customizable, and fully open-source solution designed to adapt to your specific setup.

🚀 Performance First

Built on the bleeding edge of Tauri v2 and Nuxt 4, SoundNinja is incredibly lightweight. Unlike heavy alternative soundboard apps, it keeps its storage footprint tiny and stays ultra-lean on RAM usage.

🎯 Built for Speed & Spatial UI

The core mission was to build a soundboard that empowers you to organize massive libraries efficiently. Find the exact sound you need in milliseconds—right when you need it most. Plus, the interface is optimized to offer a seamless dashboard experience inside VR environments.
