Every plugin you own, in one place you can actually find things in. SUP scans your whole collection, shows you a picture of every plugin, lets you hear it before you load it, and sends it to your track with one key.

Built by Joe Blast for his own sessions. Free for everyone on 11/11.

01 / Library

Every Plugin. One Place.

Thousands of plugins, sorted the way you think.

SUP scans every plugin on your system and lays them out as cards you can browse, filter and sort. Narrow to what your DAW can load, jump straight to your favorites, or let SUP surface the gems you forgot you bought.

02 / Search

Ask It Like a Producer.

Search by name, maker or tag, or just describe the sound.

Type a plugin name, a company, a tag, or ask in plain words. SUP finds what fits instead of making you remember what everything is called.

Search plugins, makers, tags… or ask: “warm tape for vocals”
Plain-language searchDescribe the sound you want, like “warm tape for vocals”

03 / Pictures & Previews

See It. Hear It. Then Load It.

A picture of every plugin, and a before-and-after you can play.

SUP opens each plugin in the background, takes a picture of its window, and renders a short Dry / With plugin preview. Your DAW can stay open the whole time. Pick a card, hit Dry, hit With plugin, and know if it's the one before it ever touches your session.

Plugin picturesEvery card shows the real plugin window, not a generic icon

Builds in the backgroundOne click builds pictures and previews for the whole library; your DAW stays open
New badgesFreshly installed plugins are flagged so you see what just landed
04 / Plugin Details

Know Everything About It.

Click any plugin and the whole story is right there.

The details panel shows what formats you have, which version, whether there's an update, and whether it runs natively on your Mac or only under Rosetta. See its size, which of your sessions use it, and when you last opened it.

05 / Load, Hotkeys & Chains

One Key To the Track.

Less digging through menus. More making records.

Hit Load (or Return) and the selected plugin goes straight onto the selected track. Drag your go-to plugins onto the keyboard map to give them hotkeys, and build chains you can save and drop in again whenever you need them.

06 / Studio

Your Studio, Supervised.

Sessions, updates, licenses and health in one sidebar.

Beyond the library, SUP keeps an eye on the whole setup: what's in your sessions, what needs updating, what you're licensed for, and whether anything has been crashing. The status panel tells you how many plugins were scanned and when, whether anything needs an update, and whether there have been any crashes.
