Cratefox finds your tracks, reads the real key + BPM from the audio, and harmonically sorts your crate into a rekordbox-ready set, all on your Mac, in one pass.
Illustration of the Cratefox workflow: paste a Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube or SoundCloud link (or a screenshot); it finds your tracks, reads key and BPM from the audio, sorts the crate harmonically so it mixes in key, then exports to rekordbox or a USB.
Processing runs on your Mac. You start with a link or a screenshot and end with a USB you can walk to the booth.
Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, SoundCloud, or drop a screenshot / .txt.
Your tracks resolved and pulled at the best quality available.
Clean, readable file names. No more track_01_FINAL(2).mp3.
Real key & BPM read from the audio, then harmonically ordered.
Export straight to rekordbox or a club-ready USB.
This is the part no other paste-a-playlist tool does: your crate comes back already ordered to blend.
Cratefox listens to each track and writes an accurate Camelot key and BPM, the numbers you actually mix on.
Tracks are ordered so the next one drops in key. Walk up and play a set that flows, out of the box.
Consistent Artist, Title names, so you find anything in seconds under booth lights.
One step from sorted crate to the club players. No fiddling at load-in.
No account, nothing uploaded, and a real person behind it. Here's exactly what it is.
Built by a working DJ. "I made Cratefox because prepping sets by hand was killing my weekends. Renaming files, hunting keys, sorting for hours, all of it. It runs entirely on your computer, and here's exactly what it does and doesn't do. My email's right here if you want to ask." Reach the maker →
Currently onboarding the first invited DJs. Real names, cities, and handles land here as they arrive, and the demo and the maker carry the weight until then.
Cratefox is in private beta, onboarded by hand by the DJ who makes it. Setup today is a single command you paste once, and the app opens itself. A signed one-click app is on the way.
Enter your code, copy the one line, paste it once. It sets up your own private Soulseek and the app, only ever touching the two folders you choose.
Set up Cratefox →Join the waitlist. A real DJ sends codes as spots open, in small weekly batches. Refer a friend to move up the line.
Join the waitlist →Honest beta: setup is a one-line command, not a signed one-click app yet, and on Windows it may show a one-time SmartScreen prompt until it earns reputation. Everything runs on your machine; the only server call is the one-time code check.
Cratefox is a workflow tool: it organizes, tags, and harmonically sorts a crate for music you have the right to play. It's not a store and it isn't affiliated with Spotify, Apple, or rekordbox. You're responsible for the rights to the music you prep, same as any DJ.
In beta, setup is a one-line command; a signed one-click app is on the way. On Windows you may see a one-time "Windows protected your PC" SmartScreen prompt until Cratefox earns reputation, click More info then Run anyway. On Mac it asks for your login password once during setup.
It works on the crate you give it and the files it prepares. It doesn't reach into or rewrite your whole library behind your back. Everything happens locally on your machine.
Key and BPM are read from the audio itself, not copied from unreliable tags. Automated detection is not perfect, so you can override the occasional relative or adjacent-key miss before export.
No. Paste a Spotify/Apple/YouTube/SoundCloud link or a screenshot, and you get a sorted, rekordbox-ready crate. No Terminal, no setup rituals.
Mac is ready now (signed + notarized). Windows is on the list, join it and we'll email you the moment the signed build is clean.
A rekordbox-compatible library plus a ready-to-play USB folder, so you can drag it into rekordbox or play straight off the stick. Your original files stay where they are.
Free to use while it's invite-only. If it saves your prep nights, there's a tip jar. Any future paid tier will be spelled out plainly, no surprises.
