Description
Sonic Refine is a Windows app that cleans your voice recordings and videos in one click. It removes noise, breaths (even the fake ones AI voices add) and dead air, then evens out loudness. For video, it compresses big files, converts formats, and turns 16:9 into 9:16 by following the face. AI runs on your own CPU, so nothing is uploaded: no queue, no GPU, no per-hour bills. Made for AI voice creators, podcasters and editors. Free for 2 hours a month, no account needed.

Could you build this?
Partial The Windows UI wrapper and standard FFmpeg operations are straightforward to vibe-code, but bundling and optimizing multiple local on-device ML models (noise reduction, breath detection, and face-tracking auto-crop) to run fast and efficiently on diverse consumer Windows hardware requires non-trivial local audio/video engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture would combine an Electron or Tauri desktop shell with an ONNX Runtime or C++ backend integrating DeepFilterNet/RNNoise, PyTorch/ONNX models for breath segmentation, and YOLO or MediaPipe for facial tracking crop automation. The difficult parts include packaging low-latency inference pipelines that work seamlessly across various GPUs/CPUs without crashing, managing memory during high-resolution video processing, and fine-tuning an audio model to accurately isolate breath artifacts without clipping speech.
