Changelog

Currently being built and tested. No dates promised: it ships when it is solid.

Early access. Sessions is genuinely useful today and still being built. The $44 price rises as it fills out, and buying now includes every update that follows.

Sessions Cloud is on sale. A copy of your whole studio, encrypted on the way up and where it is stored, held off your machine, so a dead drive is an afternoon instead of a career. It is part of the Sessions Cloud + A&R subscription, $14 a month or $140 a year, and buying Sessions Pro includes your first month of it. It stays readable for 30 days after a monthly plan lapses, or a full year after a yearly one.

Being worked on

• Your bounces on your phone: a phone app that plays the bounces in your cloud backup, wherever you are, with notes and sharing a listen link from the phone now in testing. Part of the Cloud + A&R subscription, being built, not out yet
• Bringing work back from a stick: taking your library out already works. Merging what you changed elsewhere back into the original folders is the half still being built, and it will never happen automatically
• A smoother first run on macOS: the whole-drive scan still trips one permission prompt per area, and network drives are not opt-in yet

The first beta bug report, fixed. A tester's antivirus was blocking the folder picker and popping up every few seconds. Both are gone, and a week of polish rides along.

Fixed

• Antivirus false alarms. Sessions asked Windows for folder and file dialogs, and whether Ableton was open, through small PowerShell scripts, and one antivirus (Bitdefender) blocked them as suspicious: Add a folder did nothing and a warning popped up every few seconds. The desktop app now opens Windows' own dialogs directly, with no script involved, and if the Ableton check is ever blocked it waits half an hour and says so on the Projects page instead of retrying nonstop

Added

• Frame your profile picture. Drag and zoom to choose the square, the same way cover art is framed, instead of a silent centre crop
• Import folders you pick, not type. The Import page lists where each kind of file goes and changes any of them with a folder chooser. Typing a path is still there for a drive that is not plugged in
• Send feedback. A link in Settings, under About, straight to the support page

Changed

• Unlinking a collaborator asks first. Taking a project off Collab, or removing someone from it, confirms before it severs anything
• Collab rows open the real project. Expanding a queue row shows the same project panel as the Projects page, and the planner and Collab marks on a row now take you there
• Projects page polish. The DAW tag reads in the accent colour, the panel's lower half is tabs, and the automatic-backup line sits above the sidebar's footer rule

Sessions meets your friends. Add the producers you work with, see when they are in the studio, stage projects for a collab, and share a track anyone can listen to and leave notes on.

Added

• Friends. Every member gets a friend code and a changeable username. Add someone with either, they accept, and you are connected. The code box even types its own dash. Friends is free for everyone: the people you collaborate with do not need to have bought anything
• Profiles, with a face. A Profile room where you set a picture, shown in a circle next to your name everywhere. Click a friend for their profile: how long you have been friends, the collabs you share, their studio numbers and their plugin list, with the overlap against your own machine worked out for you
• Three switches, all yours. Whether friends see you are in the app or a DAW, whether they see your plugin list, and whether they see your studio numbers are three separate toggles, each off until you turn it on, each ending the moment you turn it off
• The Collab Queue. Stage a backed-up project for a collab from its row menu, attach a friend to it, and both of you see it listed. Queue rows show the real project: artwork, BPM, key, length and status, right there
• Share a track with anyone. A Share button on every project row makes a listen link: a page with your artwork and waveform that plays the bounce, no account needed. Listeners can leave a note on it, and the notes land back inside Sessions
• Live's own Recent Sets, on a card. What Ableton had open recently shows up inside Sessions, read straight from Live's preferences

Changed

• The Collab page leads with the queue. Collabs first, then Friends, Profile, the session check and the Plugin Passport, with your name, code and sharing switches at the rail's floor

Fixed

• The new layer got same-day repairs. A double-click could briefly stage a collab twice, a friend's DAW list could read as empty, and long usernames could pick up stray capitals as you typed. Each was caught and fixed the day it appeared, before this release

The app starts remembering you. Sign-ins can survive a restart, On the go walks you through the trip one question at a time, and the detangler learns what Live was just working on.

Added

• Your own computer remembers you. A "Keep me signed in on this computer" box on every sign-in door. Ticked, your sign-in survives app restarts and reboots until you sign out or revoke it from your account's sessions panel. Left alone, a visit still ends when the app closes, which is the point of a visit
• On the go asks one question per screen. Pick the drive, then how you are choosing what rides along, then the choosing itself, then the copy. And "just these songs" is finally one of the answers: single projects can make the trip without the whole library
• The detangler knows what Live just had open. A tangled folder now warns you when one of its songs was opened in Live within the last month, so you never split a project out from under work in progress. After a move, it points you at Live's own Remove Unavailable Sets so the Open Recent list does not fill with dead entries
• Project cards grew a face. The grid card was rebuilt around its artwork square, name on the head and DAW on the foot, with a pencil to set the picture, and a photo you add is framed before it is filed

Changed

• The membership stands alone. Turning Pro off on a machine used to take the membership down with it, which the pricing page never promised. The subscription no longer needs Pro underneath it
• Deleting your cloud backup answers at once. On a big backup, deleting everything used to sit there until it timed out while the service kept working. Now it answers immediately, every door and every share link closes on the spot, and the deleting finishes at our end within a day
• Settings keeps growing up. Notifications became its own section with the save reminder inside it, Language got its own section, collections rows explain themselves, and you can point exports at more than one folder, picked in the normal system dialog

Fixed

• The Friends card stopped pitching an account at people who have one. A computer with an active licence but signed out is now told its membership is already active and offered the one sign-in it needs, not a create-an-account door
• The project you are reading stays put. A day of small settings and layout fixes landed alongside the features, including menus, meters and cards that explain themselves instead of assuming you know

Sign in, and your membership follows. Members can research labels from any computer they sign into, your backup folders finally ride your backups, and a day of fixes lands with them.

Added

• Your membership travels with you. Sign in on any computer and label research works there: no key to paste, nothing left behind when you sign out. Pro already roamed this way; now the membership does too. Activating a key is still the way to make a machine yours for good, and the account panel now offers exactly that when it applies
• Copy your plugin list. Library > Plugins gains a Copy list button: your whole plugin inventory as clean text, ready to paste into an AI chat when you are troubleshooting or into a forum post. It always copies everything you own, never just the filtered view on screen
• A peek at genre detection. A quiet Detect genre button now sits in the player row and explains what is coming: genre detection built on university research that runs on your own computer, so your music is never sent to an online AI

Changed

• Your backup folders ride your backups. Sessions Cloud and the USB copy now carry every DAW's backup folders, Live's Backup and Pro Tools' Session File Backups included. A backup is a past state nothing can remake once the current file is the damaged one, so treating them as disposable was wrong, and it stopped

Fixed

• Pro Tools' automatic backups stopped appearing as projects. Its per-session backup folder was surfacing as a project row holding nothing but backup copies. It is skipped now, the way Live's Backup folder always was; a leftover dimmed row clears itself on the next rescan
• Open menus stopped hiding behind the rating flame's glow. A status or BPM menu opened in a row lit by the flame could paint underneath the rows below it
• The sidebar fits its own floor. With Pro and the membership both on, the member label could push the Settings gear clean off the sidebar at its narrowest width. The label now sheds its prefix when space runs out, and the help door moved up beside the logo

Detangling, one folder at a time. The organizer learns to walk you through it, help is built into the app, and the project you are reading stays put while you scroll.

Added

• Detangle one at a time. When several songs are saved into one project folder, Sessions can already split them apart in one go. Now there is a walkthrough that takes one folder at a time: see the songs it holds, open any of them in Ableton first, detangle that folder, listen to the result, and undo just that one if it is not right. Entirely at your own pace, and stopping halfway loses nothing
• See why a folder is flagged. Every tangled folder can be opened up to show the songs inside it and how Sessions decided they are different songs, down to how much of their samples they share. Select all and deselect all landed on the list too
• Some tangles are on purpose. A sketches folder is allowed to be a pile. Mark a folder as intentional and it stops being flagged, for good, even if you rename it; bringing it back is one click. Free for everyone
• Help, where you are. A help door sits beside the Settings gear: answers about the product from its own documentation, and the road to a real person at support. The same assistant answers on the website, and what you type in its send-a-message tab now actually reaches us

Changed

• The project name stays put while you scroll. With a project open, its name bar now freezes under the column headers while the details scroll underneath, so you always know whose devices and samples you are reading. Asked for by a customer on day one, built the same day
• Grid view details are a window of their own. Clicking a card opens the project in a pop-up instead of reshaping the grid around it
• Settings says Local backup. The backup row is named for what it is, so it stops reading like a twin of the cloud backup

A shorter first run. Setting up now asks two questions instead of five, and previews stop getting stuck on the wrong side of a licence.

Changed

• Setting up is two screens. The walkthrough asks where your projects are and where your bounces land, and that is all. The sample and plugin folders it found are simply used: the old screen recommended leaving all of them ticked, so it was asking a question it had already answered. Nothing was dropped, and the same folders are editable any time in Settings
• Less to read on the way in. The bounce tip before the scan, the explainer about naming a bounce, and the Windows page about permissions Windows never asks for are all gone. The scan now walks itself into the results instead of waiting for a click
• The bounces question says you can just carry on. A bounce kept in a project's own folder is always found, whichever folder you pick, and the screen now says so instead of framing it as a choice between the two

Fixed

• Previews unlock the moment you sign in. An open project panel used to keep selling you Pro after Pro was already on, and clicking away and back was the only way out. Signing out was worse: the audio kept playing while everything else had re-locked. Both directions now follow the licence straight away
• A first install stops offering to keep a setup you do not have. The welcome screen showed a "Close (keep current setup)" button on a brand new install, where there is nothing yet to keep. It now appears only when you re-run setup from Settings

Three things 0.14.0 got wrong. A small release, all fixes.

Fixed

• Updating no longer asks you to delete your own desktop shortcut. After 0.14.0 installed itself, Windows could ask whether you wanted to delete the Sessions shortcut, saying the file it pointed at had been changed or moved. The app opened anyway, so the only thing that question could achieve was talking you into throwing away a working shortcut. An update now leaves your shortcuts pointing cleanly at the version it just installed. It still never adds a shortcut you did not ask for, and never removes one you did
• Previews say they are a Pro feature instead of looking broken. Without a licence, pressing play on a bounce reported that no supported source could be found, which reads like a damaged file rather than a locked feature. It now says what it actually is, on rows, on cards, on the Planner board and on a release's tracklist
• A downloaded update can be installed from where you asked for it. Checking for updates in Settings used to point you at a small chip in the sidebar and stop talking. The Restart button now appears on the same card you pressed Check on, and an update that finished downloading in the background is waiting there the next time you open it

Make it yours, and a calmer first five minutes. Pick your own colours, give every collection its own look, and stop being left staring at nothing while the app starts.

Added

• Your own colours. Pick a background, a text colour and an accent, and everything else is worked out from those three: every shade, every chip, the waveform, the meters. Save the ones you like and switch between them
• A look per collection. Each collection can wear its own colours, so you can tell at a glance which one you are in
• Sign in with Google without leaving the app. The browser shows Google's own sign-in and nothing else, and the answer comes straight back. No page of ours opens, so nothing of ours is left signed in on a machine you walk away from
• Somewhere to put your key. Buying Pro now tells you where the key goes instead of leaving you to find it. It can wait until later if you are busy

Changed

• Untangling a folder finishes the job. When Sessions splits a folder that turned out to hold several songs, each song now comes out with copies of the samples it actually uses, arranged the way Live expects, instead of leaving you to run Collect All on every one of them. Nothing is deleted: the samples are copied, so the folder you started with still holds everything it did before
• The licence agreement describes what the app really does. It used to say Sessions never modifies your projects. That stopped being true once Organize, Gather, Import and the per-project file actions arrived, all of which move, rename or bin files when you ask them to. The wording now matches the software

Fixed

• Setup no longer looks frozen. Finishing the installer with "Run Sessions" ticked could sit at "(Not Responding)" for about fifteen seconds on a fresh install while Windows scanned the new file. The installer now steps out of the way, and the app puts a window on screen while it starts rather than nothing at all
• The installed app can be made as narrow as it was built to be. The compact layouts, down to the icon rail, had only ever been reachable in development, so the window would not fit beside a docked DAW
• On a Mac, the setup wizard now explains what the system is about to ask for, before the permission prompts appear rather than after
• On a Mac, the app says Trash instead of Recycle Bin. It had been sending Mac users to look for a folder their desktop has never had
• Three badges were too faint to read against some themes. They now hold their contrast wherever they land

The rating sits straight. A small fix to the flame that replaced the rating stars in 0.13.0.

Fixed

• The rating flame looked like it leaned to one side. It is centred on its own measured balance point now, so it sits square in the column at every size

Your library, your way. See your projects as a list or as cover art, choose which columns show and in what order, and paint the whole app in colours you picked yourself.

New

• Cards, or a list: switch the projects table between the list you know and a grid of cover art. Until a project has artwork, its card shows its own waveform in your accent colour
• Cover art on your projects: drop a cover into a project folder and the app finds it, or pick one yourself from the row menu. It shows on the row and on the card, and a rescan never overwrites a picture you chose
• Choose your columns: hide the ones you never read and drag the rest into the order you want. Your choice travels in your backup
• Your own colours: a theme built from three picks, background, text and accent, with everything else worked out from them so nothing ends up unreadable. Type a hex code from a brand sheet, save palettes by name and load them back
• An Account section in Settings: sign in, see the address you are signed in as, and sign out, without leaving the app

Fixed

• On a Mac, the Open tag never appeared. An open plugin window counted as an open set, which both invented sets that matched nothing and hid the real answer. The app reads document windows only now, across every copy of Live you have running
• The problem report can say why the Open tag is missing: whether permission was given, whether Live's log could be read, and how many open sets matched a project. Counts and one folder path, never a set name
• Picking colours no longer lags. Dragging in the colour picker used to repaint the whole window on every twitch of the mouse
• The bounce dropdown behaves like a menu instead of pushing the panel around

Changed

• Settings opens over your work. It used to replace the page, so closing it lost your scroll position, the project you had open, your search and your filters. It is a panel now, and everything is where you left it
• The player scrubs the way you expect: grab the waveform anywhere and drag
• The rating is a flame that grows with the rank, in place of five stars
• On a Mac, nothing is asked about Live until after first-run setup, and the app explains what it wants to read before macOS asks
• Settings has its own Updates section on installed copies

Releases, and a real meter. Group finished tracks into singles, EPs and albums, and audition your bounces against a metering console that would not look out of place in a mastering suite.

New

• Releases: a new page that groups your tracks into singles, EPs and albums, with tracklist order, total running time and how much of the release is actually ready. A song can sit on a single and the album at once. Viewing is free; building releases is Pro
• Studio-grade metering while you listen: momentary, short-term and integrated loudness, true peak with per-channel clip lights, stereo correlation for the whole mix and the low end alone, a goniometer, and a loudness history strip. Cycle simple and full views from the transport, and choose which meters show in Settings
• Plugins say what they are: third-party plugins in a project now carry their kind (synth, EQ, compressor and so on) from a shipped catalog of 489 researched plugins, instead of reading Uncategorized
• The library knows more of your work: saved MIDI patterns and clips get their own tab, presets saved from inside plugins (FabFilter, Serum, Vital, Native Instruments and more) are catalogued, and a new filter separates what you made from factory content and packs
• Sending gets a desk: Submissions is two panes now, your ready tracks on a rail, and each track's send history, a shortlist of labels you mean to try, and suggestions drawn from your label book beside it
• The stick carries the app: On the go can copy the Windows and Mac installers onto the drive beside your library, so any studio computer can open it. The folder picker gained sections with one-click check-all
• Sign in by scanning: point your phone at a QR code to approve a guest sign-in on the desktop, and pick how long the visit lasts, five minutes to a full day, or until you sign out. A guest visit from an account that owns Pro brings Pro along for the visit, without spending an activation

Fixed

• Bounces kept in folders are found. A bounce filed in a subfolder of the project (Bounces, Renders, or a name of your own, which you can now teach the app in Settings) was invisible to previews. The app looks inside now, and a stem folder's files still never assign themselves as the preview
• The Largest text size no longer makes the app taller than the window, and menus, tooltips and the first-run tour open where their buttons actually are at every text size
• The first-run tour survives scrolling: the spotlight moves to a row that is on screen instead of collapsing when the highlighted row scrolled away
• On the free tier, previewing a bounce said the audio file could not be decoded. That was the Pro gate, not your file, and it now says so plainly with a working upgrade link

Changed

• The setup wizard states on every screen that it only reads your files, and the two opt-in exceptions say exactly what they write
• Settings gained update controls: check for updates on demand, or turn automatic checking off
• The app asks once, at first run, whether it may offer a Send button when something goes wrong. Nothing is ever sent on its own; every report is a click you make
• On a Mac, the permission prompt for reading which set is open in Live now names exactly what is read and why

The installer works again. If you installed Sessions and the window flashed once and closed, this is the fix. Nothing was wrong with your computer.

Fixed

• The app could not start after installing. Three files it loads the moment it opens were missing from the installer itself, so it stopped before it could draw a window or leave you anything to send us. This affected 0.10.1, 0.11.0 and 0.11.1 on both Windows and macOS. Installing 0.11.2 over the top is all that is needed, and your library is untouched
• A new check compares everything the app loads at startup against what the installer actually contains, so this kind of mistake now stops a release from being built instead of reaching your machine

A same-day catch-up. Small corrections that did not need to wait for the next big release.

Fixed

• Four short phrases on the Labels and Artists pages were showing in English in every language. The check that guards translations could not see them; it can now, and they are translated in all five languages
• Four labels in the built-in directory appear under their correct names: 4lux Recordings, 96 and Forever, Black Focus Records and The Anchor Records

Toward Sessions Cloud

• Sessions Cloud (now on sale, as part of the Cloud + A&R subscription) learned to back your studio up on its own as you work, the backup card shows its numbers instantly instead of after a long pause, and a first real full-studio backup flushed out two upload failures, both fixed

Sessions starts your DAW now. The new project button opens your main DAW with a blank session, the arrow beside it lists every DAW installed on this computer, and a project you keep as a template can be stamped into a fresh, dated copy that lands in your library already named your way.

New

• Sign in from the app: your account signs in from the footer, with your email and password, with Google, or with a short code typed on another device. A borrowed computer can sign in as a guest, and a guest is forgotten the moment the app closes
• Two-step sign-in: protect your account with an authenticator app or a code emailed to you. Recovery codes cover a lost phone, and the account page now lists every signed-in computer and signs any of them out
• Reclaim disk space: Sessions finds byte-identical copies of the same sample across your library, shows which ones are spares no project opens, and moves the spares to the Recycle Bin in one click. Copies a project collected for itself are listed too, and those are never touched
• A guided start: a short tour on first launch points out what is worth knowing, and a Setup ring by the sidebar's foot tracks the steps to a fully set up studio, each one jumping to the card that fixes it
• Bounces you picked stay picked: a bounce chosen from anywhere on disk is remembered in the picker across rescans, and switching bounces mid-play keeps your place in the track instead of starting the new file over

Fixed

• Saving in Live no longer flashes a warning. Live deletes the set file and writes a new one on every save, and for about a second the file does not exist. Sessions read that gap as unsaved work and flashed amber at exactly the moment your work was safest. It rides through the gap now
• The Organize card tells two songs apart by what is inside the sets, track and clip names as well as samples, so one song saved twice under different names is caught and projects grown from the same template stay separate

Changed

• Rows are projects now. The thing you rate, tag and plan is called a project everywhere, and a session is one session file inside it. The words now follow how producers actually talk
• The Windows installer shows the licence agreement before installing, and creating an account states plainly what is being agreed to

Sessions reads ten DAWs now. Bitwig Studio, Cubase, Pro Tools, Reason and GarageBand join Ableton Live, FL Studio, REAPER, Studio One and Logic Pro. Their projects are found, grouped and opened like any other, and their bounces preview the same way. Tempo and key are still only read from the formats that actually store them, and Sessions tells you which rather than inventing a number.

New

• Track health: how loud a bounce really is, in the same measure the streaming services use, drawn over the waveform as it plays. It tells you what Spotify will do to the track instead of handing you a number to go and look up, and it flags a true peak over full scale without painting a warning on every well made master
• Find on Splice: samples that came from Splice link back to them, named with the pack they came from, so starting a licence certificate is a click instead of a hunt. It still works after Collect All and Save, when the copy in your project folder no longer looks like the file you downloaded
• On the go: copy your library onto a USB stick and take it to another studio. A second trip only copies what changed since the first
• A licence bought from the store now activates in one click from the thank you page, instead of being copied out of an email by hand

Fixed

• Sets saved in Live 10 and earlier were reported as fully collected when they were not. Sessions could not read where those older sets recorded their samples, took that silence for nothing missing, and said so plainly. It reads both formats now. If you keep projects from before Live 11, worth checking them again
• Removing a folder in Settings now hides its projects instead of leaving them on screen forever. Nothing is deleted: every rating, note, tag and status comes back untouched when you add the folder again
• The Gather wizard tells songs apart by what each set actually uses rather than by its filename alone, so two versions of one track stop being filed as two different songs

Changed

• The Windows installer and uninstaller now speak all six languages, and follow the language you picked in the app rather than the one Windows is set to. Uninstalling asks whether to keep your library or delete it, and keeping it is the default. Your projects and audio on disk are never touched either way

Sessions now speaks six languages. English, Spanish, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese, chosen during setup or in Settings → Appearance, and the whole interface can be drawn larger with a text-size setting that travels with your backups.

New

• Setup is a walkthrough now: one decision per screen with bigger, shorter text. On a computer with no projects yet, Sessions can create a projects folder for you, or you pick one with a real folder dialog instead of pasting a path
• Label stories: every label in the built-in directory now carries its history, and pay-to-play submission fees are flagged so a free user never walks into one unwarned
• A friendlier Windows installer: choose the install location and language, and decide about shortcuts yourself, instead of one silent click

Fixed

• The save reminder now says so, and why, when the operating system refuses its notification, instead of reporting a test as sent. Settings carries plain advice for the OS settings that can quietly swallow one
• Narrow windows adapt instead of growing a sideways scrollbar, and the update alert now reaches the compact sidebar
• Scanning very large libraries no longer freezes the window on first run

Changed

• Update checks now go through our own counter: an anonymous tally of version, platform and country, never your address or anything about your music. The privacy policy describes it

The save reminder. Sessions already notices which sets are open in Live. Now it can remind you when one has gone too long without saving: a system notification and a taskbar flash, never a popup over your session and never a sound. Off until you switch it on in Settings, with your own threshold (15 minutes unless you change it).

New

• Label directory: the label book now starts with more than 1,200 labels and outlets built in, tagged by genre, with demo submission routes included where one is known, instead of an empty page to fill by hand
• Import history: the Import page lists what each run filed and where, and any run whose files are still in place can be undone, not just the latest one
• Where things go: pick your own destination folder for each kind of import; anything you leave alone keeps following the library if you move it
• Session files can be duplicated straight from the file list

Changed

• Submission tracking now sits in Pro. The label book, with the new directory, stays free

Signed installers. Windows is signed through Azure Trusted Signing and macOS is signed and notarized with Apple, so the Mac build now opens normally instead of being blocked by Gatekeeper.

On Windows you may still see a SmartScreen warning for a while, and that is a reputation system rather than a signature check, and a new certificate starts with none. Click More info and it will name the publisher, then Run anyway. It settles down as more people install it.

New

• Planner: a board view over your existing status pipeline. Customising Settings → Statuses customises the board
• Open-set guard: Sessions notices which sets are open in Live and refuses to rename or delete one out from under you
• Set details: arrangement length, real time signature, locators and the loop brace, read straight from the project file
• Drag-out: drag projects and samples into other applications
• A design pass across the whole app

The first public build: a full project manager, the studio library, the collaboration tools and the demo pipeline. Downloads opened with 0.8.3.

Projects

• Whole-computer scan that finds every project across Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, REAPER and Studio One
• BPM read from all five formats; key read from Ableton and Logic
• Ratings, statuses, tags and notes, with a status pipeline you can rename, reorder and recolor yourself
• Search, sort and filter across your whole catalog; manual BPM and key edits always survive a rescan
• Multiple artist collections in one library, with files never moving on disk
• Set vitals read from Ableton sets: true length through the tempo map, bars, time signature, locators and the loop brace, plus a sortable Length column
• An arrangement view that draws a set's clips, colours and MIDI without opening Live
• A Planner board over your own status pipeline, opt in per project

Files and cleanup

• Open, duplicate, rename and delete project files from inside the app; deletes go to the Recycle Bin
• Missing-sample detection across your library, so a broken project is visible before you open it
• Un-tangler that splits a one-folder pile into per-song projects, version-aware and leaving shared samples untouched
• Duplicate-sample finder matched by content, which never suggests deleting a copy your projects actually use
• Drop-to-organize importer for packs, devices, presets and sets, with one-click undo and a history of everything the app has done

Collaboration

• Compatibility checker: drop an Ableton set and see exactly which plugins it needs and which you are missing, before you open it
• Plugin Passport: export your plugin collection, swap with a collaborator, and see both have / only them / only you

Demos and labels

• A label book you build up yourself: submission routes, genres and research notes per label
• Submission tracking per track: sent, no reply, rejected, accepted, released, with sends going stale after 30 days and reply times tracked automatically

Studio library

• Catalog of samples, racks, presets, Max for Live devices and plugins, with vendor names and a "used in N tracks" count per plugin
• Bounce previews auto-matched from your exports folder, with a waveform and a draggable preview window

Everything else

• Local-first: no account, no cloud, nothing about your music leaving it
• Six Ableton-inspired themes
• Portable backup and restore, plus a "back up my work" run that copies the irreplaceable files and writes a plain-language manifest of what to reinstall
• Pro unlocked by a one-time purchase, never a subscription
