Sonic Republic has released Pluginize!, 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”.
Features:
- Per-plugin enable/disable across AU, VST, VST3, AAX.
- Per-bundle enable/disable for Waves.
- Per-plug-in enable/disable for UAD (DSP and Spark).
- Cross-format grouping — AU/VST/VST3/AAX of the same product treated as one entity.
- Plugin Sets — saved active-library configurations switchable in one click.
- 40+ auto-detected subcategories (Synth, Drum Machine, Reverb, Saturator, Vocal Tuner, etc.).
- Storage breakdown by vendor, format, and processing type, with charts.
- Plugin Catalog Pro — visual catalog with editable icons and previews.
- Setup Assistant — first-run guided configuration.
- Menu bar integration.
- Email-based activation, no serial keys.
- Non-destructive by design — plugin files are moved between Active and Unused folders, never deleted.
