Pluginize!

Pluginize! is a native macOS application that scans, catalogs, and organizes installed audio plugins across AU, VST, VST3, AAX, CLAP, Universal Audio (UAD DSP and UAD Spark), and Waves.

Pluginize! is the first plugin manager that handles individual Waves bundles and individual UAD plug-ins as separate items, rather than only operating at the vendor-folder level. Producers can.

enable or disable a single Waves bundle (e.g., a specific compressor) or a specific UAD plug-in without going through Waves Central or UAD Connect, and without uninstalling anything. A whitelist.

and auto-restore system protect user organization across vendor updates, which historically reset everything to "all enabled".

Other features:

- Cross-format grouping — AU, VST, VST3 and AAX versions of the same plugin are treated as one entity, switchable together with a single click.

- Plugin Sets — saved active-library configurations (e.g., "Mixing", "Mastering", "Sound Design") switchable in one click.

- 40+ auto-detected subcategories (Synth, Drum Machine, Reverb, Saturator, Vocal Tuner, etc.).

- Storage breakdown with charts, broken down by vendor, format, and processing type.

- Plugin Catalog Pro — visual catalog with editable icons and previews.

- Setup Assistant — first-run guided configuration with vendor folder detection.

- Menu bar integration.

- Email-based activation, no serial keys.

- Non-destructive by design — plugin files are moved between Active and Unused folders, never deleted.

Platform: macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Universal Binary (Apple Silicon + Intel). Apple Developer ID signed and notarized, Hardened Runtime.

Pluginize! is a standalone application — not a plugin.
