Infinity Engine audio exploration

A macOS application for exploring the music, voices, and sounds of Infinity Engine games like Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition.

It will not summon a 9th level berserker warrior to fight for you, but it will allow you to peer inside the game's audio assets. Note: you must have one or more of the abovementioned games installed, either from the App Store, or from Beamdog. Iron App does not come with any audio goodies of its own.

Available on the Mac App Store.

There's a "Hidden Gems" article by Kevin White featuring Iron App. I should note that contrary to the article, Iron App is not an iOS app, nor will it be in the future -- it's Mac-only.
