## What it is
Astrofox is a free, open-source motion graphics application that turns audio into audio-reactive visuals, available as both a web app and an offline Electron desktop app. Users compose scenes from layers like spectrum displays, images, text, video, and 3D geometry, drive them with audio analysis or MIDI input, and export still images or videos.

## Use cases
- create music visualizers for YouTube and TikTok
- turn a song into an audio-reactive video
- make animated cover art for podcasts
- generate waveform and spectrum animations from audio files
- build looping backgrounds that react to live microphone input
- export audio-synchronized videos for social media
- create custom audio-reactive effects with plugins

## When to choose
- you want a free, no-account tool to visualize music or spoken audio
- you need both a browser version and an offline desktop app with native video export
- you want composable layers and effects driven by audio analysis or MIDI
- you create content for YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok and need visualizers

## When to avoid
- you need a full general-purpose video editor with timeline cutting and transitions
- you require server-side rendering or collaborative cloud editing
- you need non-audio-driven motion graphics with no audio input
- you need mobile support
