Decant Is Live

Every Tuesday I ship something. This week it is Decant, an iPhone app that pulls just the audio out of any video, and it ships under Serious Business Software LLC.

Decant

Getting the sound out of a video should be a two-tap job, but it never is. The obvious apps hand you a full video editor when all you wanted was the audio track. The web converters make you upload your file to a stranger’s server and hand back a watermarked result behind a subscription wall. Decant does the one thing everyone actually needs and nothing else.

Drop in a video from Photos, Files, or straight from the Share Sheet, and Decant extracts a clean audio file in seconds. No timeline, no scope creep, no learning curve. You can batch a whole pile of videos at once, and each file keeps its original name instead of a string of numbers.

On your device, always

Your video never leaves your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is tracked, and extraction runs entirely on-device. That is the part the web converters cannot match: your footage stays yours, and the work happens right in your pocket.

You pick the format too. Export M4A for small, great-sounding files, or WAV and AIFF when you need lossless. No watermark on the file, no ads in the way.

Why I built it

I kept hitting the same wall. I wanted the audio from a clip, and every path to get it was worse than the task deserved: a bloated editor, a sketchy website, or a subscription for a feature that should be free to try. Decant is the anti-CapCut promise. One feature, done right, private by default.

Pricing

Decant is free to try for your first 3 extractions, which is enough to run the whole workflow. Unlock unlimited extractions with a single one-time purchase of $4.99. No subscription, ever.

Decant is on the App Store. See decantaudio.com or the Decant app page for more.

What’s next

More next Tuesday.
