Plugin Inventory showing plugins not used lately

Projects it reads

Reads the projects you already have.

SoftwareWhat it finds
Ableton Live, FL Studio, Studio OneNames every plugin in the project.
Pro ToolsNames every plugin. Avid does not publish its file format, so treat it as a strong guess.
Native Instruments Maschine, Akai MPCNames every plugin.
ReasonNames the VST3 plugins in the song. Other plugin types are matched by name.
Logic ProMatched by plugin name, so it shows what is used but not what is missing.

Demo projects that come inside sample packs are left out, so the counts are your own music.

Privacy

Nothing leaves your Mac.

No account, no sign-in, no tracking, no internet connection. It only reads: your plugins and projects are never changed. To remove everything, drag the app and its folder to the Trash.
