Your AUv3 Plugins are Organized and Ready to Explore!

With the rapid growth of AUv3 plugins, managing your plugin collection has never been more complex. As your library expands, it’s easy to lose track of your purchases when everything becomes cluttered.

AUBE is the app you need to get your collection organized! Get a clear overview of your plugins and access a regularly updated catalog of all the plugins available on the market.

Your effects and instruments are automatically organized and grouped by type. You can easily preview your AUv3 plugins and access all the detailed information, including group, category, features, and more. Browsing through your plugins is quick and easy!

Find the Perfect Plugins for Your Creative Needs

Simply tap the Quick Search text field on the dashboard and enter your criteria, whether it's a group, tag, or any other keyword from the database. Your search will be quick and precise, giving you instant access to the perfect AUv3 plugins for your creative needs.

Looking for freebies? Of course you are! Just tap the central diamond widget and use the floating menu to get a list of all available free AUv3 plugins. These are 100% truly free plugins, with no in-app purchases required to unlock features.

The diamond widget floating menu also offers shortcuts to instantly access plugins compatible with your device, sorted by the most recent release date.

AUBE also comes with a couple of Quick Actions launchers. Touch and hold the AUBE app icon to open the quick actions menu, go straight to the search view or show the catalog filtered to your device.

Browse Plugins and Organize

When you open the detail view for a selected AUv3 plugin, you’ll find key information like its group, category, features, and tags. It also lets you browse other plugins within the same group, giving you a chance to explore related options. For instance, tapping on the 'Drums' category will display all plugins in that group, and you can easily swipe between them to find the perfect one.

Organize your AUv3 plugins by toggling your favorites and adding custom tags. Keep track of plugins you don’t own yet by adding them to your Wishlist, and access your preferences across all devices to ensure your collection is always within reach.

AUv3 Plugin Hosting

AUBE also includes an AUv3 hosting environment for instantly exploring and testing your installed plugins. You can preview audio effects, instruments, and MIDI effects directly within AUBE and evaluate them in seconds!

The preview system is designed for quick plugin exploration and serves a different purpose than traditional hosts focused more on production by default, where testing a plugin often requires creating a project, locating the plugin, and loading audio before you can even start experimenting with it.

You can play instruments from the integrated keyboard, connect external MIDI devices, bypass audio effects, export parameter trees to JSON files, run structured tests (AU validation), and inspect plugin behavior without unnecessary setup or distractions. It's a direct and focused host workflow designed entirely for fast plugin preview and evaluation.

To launch an AUv3 plugin, simply tap the “Preview” button in any detail view.

Share Your Collections, Discover and Connect

Share your personal collection, letting others discover your favorites, wishlist, and tagged plugins. Import others’ collections and have the author’s selections automatically matched to your records. You can then integrate these preferences into your setup by adding them to your favorites, wishlist, or tags. Simply double-tap to save to your favorites or wishlist, or tag for easy reference later. It’s the perfect way to connect, discover new gems, and build your ideal plugin library with the AUBE community.

Create a custom badge featuring a collection of icons for your favorite AUv3 plugins. Sharing your badges on social media is a fun way to showcase the plugins you love the most!

Instant Access via the Keyboard Extension

If your AUv3 host (like Logic Pro, Loopy Pro, AUM, Drambo, Zenbeats, etc.) provides a search text field in its plugins browser, you can quickly find your plugins using the AUBE keyboard!

• AUv3 plugins are grouped and categorized by effects and instruments
• You can filter your collection by categories and/or by user tags
• If you are looking for more inspiration, tap the dice button to get a random AUv3!
• The keyboard can be expanded and supports floating mode

To use the keyboard extension, long press the globe button 🌐 on your regular keyboad and select AUBE. The keyboard extension must be installed (see instruction below). The keyboard extension is not available on Mac because Apple does not support virtual keyboards on macOS. In case of problems, check the AUBE Known Issues page.

Your AUv3 Plugins Stats, Always in View with the AUBE Widget

Keep track of your AUv3 collection at a glance with the AUBE Widget. Instantly view your total plugins, favorites, and wishlist picks, right from your Home Screen! Available in small, medium, and large sizes, the widget lets you choose the perfect view to fit your needs.
