Plugins
What plugins do you actually own?
Between bundles, freebies and that one sale you can't remember, nobody knows what's installed anymore. Aureo scans your plugin folders, matches what it finds against an open catalog, and keeps the list in step across your machines.
What each folder found
Scanned, empty or not found, with a count for every folder.
Matched to the catalog
The real product behind each file, and whether a newer version is out.
How it works
1. Scan
Aureo looks in the standard plugin folders for your platform, plus any you add, and reads VST3_PATH, CLAP_PATH and LV2_PATH if you set them.
2. Match
Each plugin is matched to the catalog by its identifier, falling back to its name, so you see the real product and its maker.
3. Sync
Put your vault in iCloud Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive and every machine adds what it found. Each plugin shows the devices it's installed on.
The details
- Formats
- VST3, CLAP and VST2 everywhere. AU on macOS, AAX on macOS and Windows, LV2 on Linux.
- Scan report
- See what each folder found: scanned, empty, not found or couldn't open, with counts for plugins, catalog matches and skipped files.
- Bundles
- Multi-unit AU, multi-class VST3 and multi-plugin LV2 bundles list every plugin inside them.
- Windows
- Real names, makers and versions, including VST2 plugins and the DAWs you have installed.
- Linux
- Ships as .deb and .rpm. Aureo tells you when a new version is out, and you install it with your package manager.
- Your files
- Aureo reads your plugin folders. It never moves or changes anything in them.
Yours, on your machine
Scanning happens on your computer. The list of what you own never leaves it unless you sync it through a folder you already use.
