Discord's soundboard was never enough.
So Linux got a real one.
Discord's built-in soundboard only goes so far. Noisitron plays your clips to your friends and to your own headphones, triggered by a click, a keybind, a CLI command, or a Stream Deck button.

Features
Everything your Discord voice needs
Built to disappear into your workflow: fast to trigger, easy to organize, and honest about what's going into your mic.
Virtual mic routing
PulseAudio and PipeWire native. Independent volume for what Discord hears and what your headphones play back.
Nested folders
Organize sounds into folders inside folders, browsed just like a file manager, not one giant flat list.
Global keybinds & CLI
Trigger from anywhere with a hotkey, or script it: noisitron --play <sound>. Wire it up to a Stream Deck in minutes.
Waveform trim editor
Cut a clip down to the perfect moment, set per-sound volume, and pick a custom emoji or image icon for it.
Built-in sound store
Search MyInstants and pull clips straight into your library, no browser tab-switching required.
Lives in the tray
Close the window and triggers keep working: keybinds, CLI, and Stream Deck calls all still land.
Folder sync
Drop new files into a source folder and re-import picks up exactly what's new, nothing to re-organize.
How it works
However you trigger it, everyone hears it right
Click the grid, hit a keybind, run a CLI command, or press a Stream Deck button. Noisitron mixes the clip and your mic into a virtual microphone that Discord picks up, while a separate monitor path plays it back through your own headphones too.
