NAM Lab: A Free Tool to Organize and Manage Your NAM Capture Library
I’m excited to announce the open beta of NAM Lab, a free community tool designed to make managing NAM capture libraries easier, cleaner, and more flexible.
Why NAM Lab?
If you work with NAM captures, you know how frustrating it can be to deal with large collections or strict metadata rules during capture. NAM Lab is built to solve these problems:
- Organize and edit large collections of captures
- Fix or standardize metadata across existing files
- Tag captures after the fact — no more being locked into the same name, gear type, or tone type during multiple captures
- Browse and edit your library with a clean, powerful interface
Whether you have a messy library or are creating new captures and want more flexibility, NAM Lab helps you take control of your data locally.
Built with Modern Tools
Although I do software development, NAM Lab was primarily built using Claude Code (currently under evaluation) and Electron, which I hadn’t used before.
- Cross-platform: works on both Mac and Windows
- Local-first: all your library data stays on your computer
Community-First Release
This release is all about the community. NAM Lab is completely free, and your feedback is invaluable. If you encounter issues, have ideas, or want new features, let me know — your input will help shape future updates.
