Your plugin folder
is a mess.
PlugPane fixes it.
A purpose-built manager for VST3, AU, CLAP and AAX. Scan, tag, version and load every plugin you own. Works across every DAW, on every machine.
Built for the chaos
of real sessions.
Six things every audio engineer wishes their DAW already did.
Universal scanner
One pass indexes VST3, AU, CLAP and AAX from every install path on your system. Catches sandboxed Audio Units that other tools miss.
Smart Tagging
Auto-classifies every plugin by category, character and use case. Override anything you disagree with — your library, your rules.
License vault
Keep track of all your plugin licenses with iLok integration and manual serial number storage. Never lose a license again.
Duplicate detection
Find duplicate plugins across your system. Save disk space and clean up redundant installations that can cause conflicts.
Database matching
Automatically matches your plugins against our 50K+ database to get pricing, descriptions, and shop URLs.
Enable/Disable
Quickly enable or disable plugins with a simple click. Perfect for troubleshooting DAW issues or organizing your workflow.
Color-coded tags
for instant recall.
Tag plugins by workflow stage (Mixing, Mastering, Writing) or by character like CPU Heavy, Legacy, or Go-To. Create custom tags that match how you actually think about your tools.
- CPU Heavy: Flag resource-intensive plugins
- Favorite: Your desert island plugins
- Go-To: The ones you reach for first
- Custom: Create unlimited tags
All your serials,

Stop digging through emails for license keys. PlugPane stores your serial numbers locally and securely, with iLok integration for automatic license detection.
