I built an iPhone-to-DAW sampler workflow and I’m giving 10 Mac licenses to testers

I built an iPhone-to-DAW sampler workflow. Looking for 10 producers to test it.

AirSampler is a free iPhone recorder. The Mac bundle adds Bridge + AU plugin, so you can record sounds on the phone, sync locally, chop/edit on Mac, and drag WAVs into a DAW.

I have 10 free Mac Bundle licenses for people who actually want to try it and tell me what feels good/bad.

Not looking for fake praise. I want workflow feedback from producers.

Hey game devs 👀

I’m building RetroLAN, a bootable USB arcade-style system for local multiplayer nights. The idea is simple: plug it into old/spare PCs, boot straight into an arcade lobby, find other players on the local network, and launch LAN-friendly games without needing accounts, installs, or a normal desktop.

I’d love to showcase indie games that fit that spirit at launch.

I’m especially looking for:

- LAN or local-network multiplayer games

- low-spec games that run well on old laptops/desktops

- games with Linux builds, DRM-free builds, or easy portable versions

- small arena shooters, racers, strategy games, party games, co-op games, weird experimental LAN stuff

What I can offer:

> a featured spot inside the RetroLAN arcade UI

> a small profile/link on the RetroLAN website

> compatibility testing on real old laptops

> feedback from early beta testers

> proper credit and links to your Steam/itch/site

> no exclusivity, no ownership weirdness

If your game is free or has a demo build, we can talk about bundling it directly if the license allows. If it’s paid, I’d rather list it as “compatible” and send users to your official store page.

I’m not trying to scrape or repackage anyone’s work. I want RetroLAN to become a good discovery shelf for games that are actually fun in the same room, on the same Wi-Fi, with people shouting across the table like it’s 2002.

If you’re working on something LAN/local-multiplayer friendly, drop a link or DM me. I’d love to test it :)

I'm looking for beta-testers of my - soon to be released - software RetroLAN. Please reach out if you want to try it out and help me tweak it before release date (soon!)
check it out here, and also support by signing up to the waitlist: retrolan.store

All participants will get 2 x free licenses on release date as a small thank you.

What is RetroLAN?

The idea is simple: plug a USB stick into an old laptop or spare PC, boot from it, and jump straight into an arcade-style launcher without touching the installed OS. Other RetroLAN sticks on the same Wi-Fi or Ethernet network can find each other, so you can host/join games locally without accounts, cloud services, or setup chaos.

Key features:

Boots directly from USB
Arcade-style launcher, not a normal desktop OS
Local lobby for finding other RetroLAN players
Wi-Fi and Ethernet setup built in
Bring-your-own legally owned game files
Companion app for preparing games from Mac/Windows
Trial mode first, unlock license later
Designed for old laptops, LAN parties, garages, classrooms, and nostalgia nights
Commercial games are not bundled. The goal is to make it easy to prepare and launch games you already own, plus include free/open demo games for testing hardware. (I'm sure you your own resources or copies)

It’s coming soon, and I’m looking for feedback from people who miss old-school LAN nights.
