Take it offline. Make it sound better.

📂 Offline File Manager

  • Browse and organize what you've already downloaded, surfaced against your indexed library so you can see what's saved locally vs cloud-only.

💿 Lossless WAV downloads

  • Real WAV exports per clip, playlist, or workspace — queued to stay within Suno's limits.

🎚 Track mastering

  • An optional per-track mastering chain (EQ, compression, limiting), with presets that survive export and sync.

🗺 Also exploring

  • Support for Suno's new Voices model, encrypted cloud sync, and a Discover tab — no promises yet.

Preview only — directional, not a commitment. Watch this page or r/SunoExplorer for actual shipping milestones.

v4.5.0 Latest · On Chrome Web Store

Workspaces, Song Studio, Spatial Explore & a stack of polish

The theme: lenses, not cages. Workspaces become a dimension you can slice by instead of a silo. A new spatial Explore page shows your library as a map. Song Studio lets you batch-generate without leaving the extension. Find Similar got 100× faster. Saved embeds get their own page. Plus a few hundred polish bullets across the surface.

Released June 2026 · Live on the Chrome Web Store
▾

🗂 Workspace support — the marquee feature

  • Unified library view across all your Suno workspaces — filter to a subset when you want focus
  • Sidebar chips for most-active workspaces + a "More (N)…" modal picker with tri-state include/exclude/off for everyone with dozens
  • Create a new Suno workspace from any active filter — your 47 unliked metal covers become a real Suno workspace in one click
  • Bulk move clips between workspaces, rate-limit-aware (no 429s on big batches)
  • Inline rename + archive-with-undo (10-second toast)
  • Workspace list + accent colors roam across devices via cloud sync

🌌 Explore page — your library as a map (EXPERIMENTAL)

  • Every clip becomes a dot. Songs that sound like each other sit close.
  • Atlas color mode — auto-discovered clusters from YOUR library with concentric-ring "stamps" identifying each one
  • Genre family + Genre detailed color modes — 9 broad buckets or matched-tag granularity
  • Workspace color mode for project-as-color
  • Tiered loading: PCA appears instantly, UMAP cooks in the background and auto-upgrades
  • Shift + drag to lasso a region → side panel shows everything you grabbed
  • Click any dot → detail panel with one-click "Open in Library"
  • Onboarding modal explains the four lenses + three interactions; persistent ? button to re-read anytime
  • Performance pass: clustering 100× faster on 37k+ libraries, canvas interactions stay responsive at scale

🎼 Song Studio — generate from inside the extension

  • A dedicated page (sidebar Create button) for spinning up songs without bouncing to suno.com
  • Simple + Custom modes matching Suno's own composer surface
  • Batch up to 20 generations per submit (= up to 40 clips). Step the count, hit Generate, walk away.
  • Persistent queue — pending/active/completed/failed lanes survive refresh; in-flight jobs re-enter pending so nothing's lost
  • Up to 8 concurrent generations; new submits queue behind them
  • Smart polling: every 5s, drops to 10s after a minute, flags jobs as "may be stuck" after 5 minutes
  • Captcha-recovery banner with Copy Style / Copy Lyrics / Open Ref on Suno + Retry All so you don't lose your batch when Suno asks for verification
  • Reference panel: search songs, prompts, and lyrics from your library — click any item to load it into the form
  • Inline regenerate on every completed clip

🔍 Find Similar Clips — sub-second on huge libraries

  • Right-click any song or version → Find Similar Clips → banded by similarity (Very Similar → Similar → Loosely Related → Distant)
  • Runs locally. Sub-second even on 37k+ libraries after this round's perf pass.
  • Filters collapse behind a "Filters" toggle; tag chip list capped to top 30 most-frequent with "Show all N" expand
  • Sticky band headers while scrolling. "Boost newer clips" re-ranks by recency.
  • Power search inside the modal (tag:rock -remix etc.)
  • 60-bit semantic signatures from tags, lyrics, title, custom tags, model version, vocal flag, workspace — your custom tags weighted highest

🎨 Embeds Library — saved widgets, on their own page

  • New Embeds button in the library sidebar opens a dedicated page
  • Save any embed from the configurator with "Copy and Save" — config persists for later editing
  • Grid of saved embeds with thumbnail, theme, clip count, last-updated
  • Preview toggle on each card — expands to show the actual rendered widget (byte-for-byte what users see when pasted)
  • In-place editing — opens the configurator pre-filled with your saved settings, no library round-trip
  • + New Embed → built-in clip picker → straight into configurator

🔗 Share + Embed

  • Copy Library Link — deep link to your own library with the clip pre-focused. Bookmark it, jump back instantly.
  • Copy Suno Link — the original Suno CDN URL, works in any audio player
  • Embed With Code — live-preview modal with theme (Minimal / Suno Glow), accent color, border radius, font, autoplay, loop, size, title override
  • Multi-clip embeds show per-track lyrics + prompt behind expand/collapse chevrons
  • Self-contained HTML — paste on any webpage, no backing site required

🎵 Playback polish

  • "Currently playing" indicator works everywhere — library grid, playlists, lineage trees, version panels, ancestry modals
  • Volume control + mute toggle on the player bar (persists per-device)
  • Lyrics drawer — click the lyrics icon, side panel slides in with the current track's prompt/lyrics
  • Playlist looping toggle — queue wraps back to the first track

📋 Playlist improvements

  • Export as M3U — works in VLC, iTunes, Sonos, anything standard
  • Remove individual songs from a playlist
  • Shift-click range select in the publicity modal

🎭 Mashup + Inspo support

  • Mashup clips show their real type, not "generated fresh"
  • Multi-parent lineage — mashups have 2 parents, inspos up to 4; lineage walks follow all of them

✏️ Misc + context menu cleanup

  • Inline clip title edit — hover the title in the version panel, pencil appears, edit in place
  • Unified Curate submenu — Set Definitive, Link to Parent, Add to Playlist, External Links all in the same place across group and individual menus
  • Add to Playlist now works on individual versions (was group-only)

🔧 Quality, perf, infrastructure

  • Workspace writes work again — Suno added a new write-API host and the manifest needed widening. (This is why the update prompts for new permissions — that's the widening, nothing weird.)
  • Token guards everywhere — write actions fail-fast with a clear toast if Suno disconnects, auto-recover on reconnect
  • Massive Find Similar perf win — a primitive iterating ALL filter options every call was the smoking gun; now O(active filters), sub-second from 5+ seconds
  • Tag Atlas clustering dropped from 25+ seconds → ~270ms on 37k-clip libraries
  • UMAP ~2× faster on big libraries
  • Lineage widgets on suno.com — fixed a 64 MiB sendMessage cap regression that broke them for large libraries
  • New primitive architecture: SelectionSet, FilterBank, SimHash, WriteQueue, PublishSnapshot, GenreTaxonomy, TagAtlasClusterer / Labeler / Fingerprint, EmbedConfigurator. Shared logic lives in tested reusable modules.
  • 1,500+ tests across the suite

🧑‍💻 Developer-facing

  • Backup export now exposes both compact (default, ~89% smaller) and uncompressed formats via a checkbox
  • Stable _format + _version markers on backup files for external tooling
  • New developer page with format spec, decompressor source, and an AI-agent starter prompt

⚠️ Heads up on update

  • Permission re-prompt expected — that's the manifest widening for the new Suno write-API host. One-click approve.
  • One slower Explore page load after update as the UMAP cache rebuilds against new params (auto, one-time).
