Plugr brings every plugin, project, and vendor installer on your Mac into one beautiful, searchable place — tracks updates, shows you which plugins you actually use across your DAW sessions, and spots the best deals along the way.
Plugins, projects, vendor installers, updates, deals, and the little producer tools you keep Googling — all in one place, so you can spend more time making music.
Plugr quietly checks hundreds of developers for updates and shows you the moment something new is out — and puts every vendor installer (Native Access, Waves Central, Splice, iLok, more) on one tab so you never dig through Launchpad again.
Plugr reads your real Ableton, Logic, and FL Studio sessions and shows your library through the lens of three charts — most-used plugins, category mix, developers you rely on. Click any slice to filter the project list.
Plugr keeps an eye on VST Buzz, Plugin Boutique, and Audio Plugin Deals and brings everything into one tidy feed — filtered to the developers you own, priced in your own currency.
Plugr keeps tabs on hundreds of plugin developers — FabFilter, Soundtoys, Plugin Alliance, Native Instruments, UAD, iZotope, Valhalla and many more. The moment a new version is out, you'll see it.
Point Plugr at your project folders and see your library the way you really use it — by what shows up in your sessions, not what you bought on a whim five years ago.
Plugr keeps an eye on the major plugin sale sites — VST Buzz, Plugin Boutique, Audio Plugin Deals and more — and brings everything into one tidy feed. Filter by what matters to you.
Tap tempo, BPM ↔ delay calculator, Camelot wheel — built right in. No more flipping to a browser tab in the middle of a session.
Tag plugins with anything you want ("mastering chain", "vocal", "live set"), favorite the heavy hitters, hide the cruft you'll never delete but never use.
Eight DAW-inspired color schemes built into the app — match Plugr to whatever you're staring at all day.
Clean up your library fast — rename, retag, or organize hundreds of plugins at once instead of clicking one by one.
Optional: keep your tags, favorites, project library, and update sources in sync between your studio Mac and your laptop.
Take your full plugin library out as a spreadsheet anytime — for backup, insurance documentation, or just peace of mind.

VST3, Audio Unit (AU), VST2, AAX, and CLAP. It also catalogues your Mac applications (DAWs, mastering apps, license managers, instrument standalones) so it's truly "everything audio-related on this Mac".
Not yet. Plugr is currently macOS-only (macOS 12 Monterey or later, Apple Silicon and Intel both). Windows support is on the long-term roadmap but not committed.
For the hundreds of developers Plugr knows about — most of the big names you use every day — very accurate. For developers it doesn't recognize yet, Plugr makes its best guess and lets you confirm in one click, then remembers for next time.
A few developers (Plugin Alliance, Native Instruments, UAD, Waves) handle updates through their own installer apps. Plugr knows about those too, and points you to the right place to grab the update.
Only when you explicitly tell it to. "Move to Trash" is reversible (files go to your macOS Trash, not deleted permanently) and asks for confirmation. Everything else — categories, tags, favorites — is metadata that lives in Plugr's local cache and never touches your actual plugin files.
Subscription gives you all features as long as you're subscribed; cancel and the app drops to a read-only view of your existing scan data. Lifetime is a one-time payment for all features available at the time of purchase, plus all updates to those features forever. We may sunset the Lifetime tier at some point — anyone who bought one keeps it.
Your library, projects, tags, favorites and notes stay on your Mac. Plugr only reaches out to developer websites to check for updates and to the deal sites to pull in sales — it never uploads your library anywhere.
If you turn on iCloud sync, your data syncs between your own Macs through Apple's iCloud, not our servers. Full details in the privacy policy.
