Whatever kind of producer you are

Different studios, different problems. Sessions is the front desk for all of them.

“My projects are a mess.”

Named final_v3, scattered across three drives? Sessions finds every one, reads what's inside, and turns the pile into a searchable, playable library. Nothing moves unless you say so.

“I'm sending demos into the void.”

A label book with real submission routes, one-click sends that log themselves, and a tracker that flags who's ghosting you. Sent to signed, all in one place.

“I make music with other people.”

Know a session will open before you burn a night on it, and swap Plugin Passports to see whose plugins cross over — whatever either of you produces in.

“I don't live in one DAW.”

Ableton, FL Studio, Logic, REAPER, Studio One: one library across all of them. Every project previews, opens and gets tracked from the same list.

Up and running in three steps

No tagging, no manual import. Point it at your drive and it does the rest.

1

Scan your computer

The setup wizard sweeps your drives for every session, sample pack, rack and plugin — whatever DAW you made it in. Confirm once and it takes over.

2

It reads every session

BPM and key straight out of the project file, plus the plugins and samples each project uses. Nothing is moved or changed.

3

Your library, organized

Everything searchable and sortable in one place. Rate it, tag it, play the bounce, and track what you send to labels.

Built like the DAW you already live in

Deterministic, offline, and fast. Scanning is read-only: it never moves, renames or deletes a session unless you ask it to.

Finds your world in seconds

Point it at nothing: the setup wizard sweeps your drives for sessions — Ableton, FL Studio, Logic, REAPER, Studio One — plus sample packs, racks, Max for Live devices and plugins. Your installs and user libraries are found automatically; confirm once and it takes over from there.

Preview coming soon

Your sessions, decoded

BPM and key read straight out of the file. No tagging, no guessing. Ratings, statuses, tags, notes, and a status pipeline you can customize. Play your latest bounce on any track without opening your DAW.

Preview coming soon

Send demos, track every reply

Sessions is your demo pipeline too: a book of labels with their submission routes, genres and whether they're open to demos, plus a per-track tracker for every send. Sent, no reply, rejected, accepted, released. One click opens a label's demo route and logs it, and a submission with no reply after 30 days turns amber so you know who to chase.

Preview coming soon

"Will this session open?"

Drop an .als someone sent you: every plugin it needs, and exactly which ones you're missing, before Live silently bypasses them. Ableton today, more DAWs next.

Plugin Passport

Export your plugin collection as a tiny file. Swap with a collaborator and see what crosses over: both have / only them / only you. Works whatever either of you produces in.

Preview coming soon

Drop it, it's organized

New sample pack? Max for Live device? A Live set from a friend? Drop it on the Import page and it's filed, cataloged, and searchable automatically. Every import can be undone.

Preview coming soon

Local-first, always

Your music never leaves your machine. No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Sessions reads your files where they sit: scanning changes nothing, and nothing moves unless you ask.

FAQ

Is Sessions a subscription?
No. Sessions Pro is a one-time $44 purchase, yours forever, never a subscription. There's no recurring charge and the app keeps working for good.
Where does my data go? Is it private?
Nowhere. Sessions runs entirely on your computer, with no account, no cloud and no telemetry. Your music never leaves your machine.
Does it move or change my files?
No. Scanning is read-only. Sessions never moves, renames or deletes a session unless you explicitly ask it to, and those actions go to the Recycle Bin, never a permanent delete.
Which DAWs does it support?
Ableton Live is fully supported today. FL Studio, Logic Pro, REAPER and Studio One are in beta, with Bitwig, Cubase, Pro Tools and GarageBand on the roadmap. Opening a project and previewing bounces works for any DAW; reading tempo, key and plugins depends on what each format stores. See the full format table.
What's the difference between free and Pro?
Free organizes your library: unlimited projects, up to 3 collections, BPM and key, ratings and tags, plus the compatibility checker and Plugin Passport. Pro ($44 one-time) adds two things: the studio power tools (bounce playback, the full sample and plugin library, the project creator and the import organizer), and the get-signed toolkit (a full label book and demo-submission tracking).
Do I need an account?
No. There's no account to create. When you buy Pro, a license key arrives by email; you paste it into Settings.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 14 days, no questions asked.
Why does my computer warn when I open the installer?
The installers aren't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper warn the first time you open one. You can allow it through the warning (on macOS, System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway). Signing is on the roadmap.
