Modulr Ruin

Four ways to break a sound and one way to destroy it.

Modulr Ruin breaks your sound four different ways, and one switch — Really f’d up — chains them all and hands the wheel to Chaos. It is a beta, and it is loud: mind your speakers.

Install it

Version 0.1.0, 2026-11-06.

The Modulr Hub app installs it for you, one click, and checks the download on the way in. Prefer doing it by hand? Unzip the file into the folder shown. Ad hoc (no Developer ID) and not notarised, so the first time you load it macOS asks you to allow it (System Settings, Privacy & Security) — normal for a small maker, and it only happens once.
