Why I Built LoopMyAudio

It was all about memorizing a short Arabic prayer.

A friend of mine had recommended to me an Arabic prayer that was short but not short enough that I could memorize it easily. Hence, I need some way to memorize it. Usually, I find it easy to memorize something if I keep listening to it. So I started looking for an app for that purpose that could do what I was looking for.

I found a few, but they all seemed surprisingly complicated. Most required setting loop points (A-B repeat), tweaking playback controls, or learning features I simply didn’t need. As a software developer, I eventually figured them out, but I kept thinking, “If this feels confusing to me, what about everyone else?” The issue was that I found out about the app and figured out how it works, but I needed a desktop version because I wanted to memorize while working at the office, rather than roaming around. I eventually started looking for such web apps, but there was no such thing I was looking for that did not require signing in or sharing my files with a server.

That made me wonder…

What if there was a website where you could simply:

No accounts. No downloads. No A-B markets and no settings.

I also wanted it to be privacy-friendly. After some research, I realized modern browsers can handle everything locally, so nothing ever needs to be uploaded to a server. Your recording or audio file never leaves your device.

It’s a very small project, but I think it could be useful for people memorizing prayers, language vocabulary, speeches, affirmations, meditations, sales scripts, and thus anything else that benefits from repetition.
