01Overview

KitSwitch scans VST3, AU, CLAP and AAX bundles, reads their real metadata, and keeps the whole library in a local catalogue you can search, tag and prune. Archive what you never load without uninstalling it, and keep two Macs in agreement about what's installed where.

02Detail

01

Reads the bundle, not the filename

Metadata comes from moduleinfo.json, Info.plist, AU type codes and CLAP feature tags — parsed in an isolated helper process so a malformed bundle can't take the app down with it.

02

Archive without uninstalling

Move plugins to a staging folder so your DAW stops loading them. Nothing is deleted, every batch is restorable, and Focus archives everything outside a selected collection in one action.

03

Scans that stay warm

Bundles are cached by modification time, so only what actually changed gets re-parsed. An FSEvents watcher notices new installs and rescans on its own.

04

Your corrections stick

Tags, notes and category overrides persist across scans. Duplicate entries — the same plugin in both VST3 and AU — collapse into one.

05

Two Macs, one answer

Point a studio machine and a laptop at a shared folder and KitSwitch merges their installation records, so you can see at a glance what's missing where.

06

Local by default

The catalogue is a SQLite file in your Application Support folder. No account is required to scan, tag or archive.

If something here rules your setup out, the return window covers you — but write to us first and we'll tell you straight.
