A guided tour of every feature — from the first scan to the deepest corners of your library.
Plugr scans the standard plugin folders on your Mac and gives you a single beautiful view of everything you have — VST2, VST3, AU, AAX, CLAP, and the rest of your apps too.
Tag plugins however makes sense to you — "vocal chain", "live set", "mastering" — and star the heavy hitters so they're never more than a click away.
Plugr keeps tabs on hundreds of plugin developers and tells you the moment a new version comes out — so you'll never wonder again whether your favorite synth has an update waiting or where to get it.
A lot of your library lives behind update managers — Native Access, Waves Central, Splice, Creative Cloud, Plugin Alliance Installer, etc. Plugr puts all of them on one screen so you don't have to dig through Launchpad.
Point Plugr at your project folders and it'll show you your library the way you really use it — by what actually shows up in your sessions
Plugr keeps an eye on the major plugin sale sites and brings everything into one tidy feed. Smart filters help you focus on what matters to you.
Tell Plugr what to watch — specific plugins, whole developers, or your own custom keywords — and it pings you on macOS the moment a matching sale shows up. Works even for plugins you don't own yet.
The tap tempo, delay calculator, and key picker you've been Googling for years — built right into Plugr so you don't have to leave your session to grab them.
The smaller features that add up to a much better experience.
Eleven themes built in — three system defaults plus eight studio-inspired palettes to match your vibe.
Clean up your library fast — rename, retag, or organize hundreds of plugins at once
Keep your tags, favorites, project library, and update sources synced between your Macs. (Optional)
Take your entire library out as a spreadsheet anytime — useful for backup, insurance documentation, or just peace of mind.
Save your entire Plugr setup — tags, favorites, notes, custom sources — as a single file. Restore it on a new Mac in seconds.
Tag, categorize, or set an update source on one format and every other format of the same plugin (VST3, VST2, AU, AAX, CLAP) inherits it automatically.
Spot older copies of the same plugin sitting alongside newer versions — perfect for cleaning out years of accumulated crap.
Find any plugin by name, developer, or category as you type. Works even on huge libraries with thousands of plugins.
Add your own categories if "Effect" and "Instrument" aren't specific enough — "Mastering Suite", "Live FX", whatever you need.
Right-click any plugin (or a multi-selection) for a contextual menu — favorite, hide, tag, change category, delete to Trash. The fastest way to clean up a list.
Apply an update source to a whole developer's catalog, retag two hundred plugins, or mass-remove sources you no longer want — one click of Undo puts everything back. No fear of mass actions.
Optionally run Plugr in the macOS menu bar so deal-alert notifications fire even when the main window is closed. Combine with launch-at-login for a fully hands-off setup.
