AUBE
Audio Unit Box Explorer - Version 2!
Brand New Version 2 – a fresh take on exploring and managing your AUv3 plugins
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 view all the information, including group, category, features, and more. Browsing through your plugins is quick and easy!
AUBE 2 is a brand-new app version on the App Store. It’s a one-time universal purchase, available on iPad, iPhone, and Mac, with free database updates!
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.
As a shortcut, tap the ‘plus’ button on the dashboard to instantly view the plugins compatible with your device, sorted by the most recent release date. You can also explore additional filtering options in different views within the app.
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.
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!
On iPad, AUBE also supports splitting the screen into resizable views, allowing you to work with multiple apps simultaneously. For example, you can open AUBE and the App Store side by side to browse plugins in AUBE, explore detailed plugin pages in the App Store, make purchases, or quickly check if a plugin has an updated version.
Don't miss out on this collection of free AUv3 plugins! Download the file, open AUBE, tap 'Explore Collections' (top right menu on the dashboard), and load the file. You'll see a list of plugins—tap any to view the details, then swipe through the collection. If you don't have a plugin, tap the 'INFO' button to open the App Store and download it

- 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!

Check out what musicians think about AUBE
Perfect for organising and keeping ahead of the ones you have installed. Also now has a discovery section for apps you don’t own, allowing you to add to a wish list, something I used to do via the reminders app. Search is excellent, and now V2 has more filter options, so the ability to find what you need without endless digging is great

This is the best way to organize and catalog your AUV3 synths, midi, and effects plugins! Actually, it’s the ONLY way
⎯
This is a Must Have! One click, open one app, and see everything you have. If your like me you probably have dozens of effects, instruments, sequencers etc. all over your desktop. This app fixes all that!
⎯
I have needed this for a long time. Works awesome in Logic for iPad. Keep up the good work. If you own a lot of effects and synths then this is a must buy
⎯
The killer feature is the custom keyboard you can add to iOS, which allows you to use AUBE in AUv3 hosts that have a search box. I use loopy pro and it works great there. Highly recommended!
⎯
Absolute must have for AuV3 management. So much time saved when searching for the app you need. And with the option to sort favourites, even quicker
⎯
Bonheur de redécouvrir ses applis ! Un excellent moyen de mettre un peu d’ordre et de redécouvrir par la même occasion ses synthés et effets AuV3. L'extension clavier est une belle trouvaille!

Database and Unknown AUv3 plugins
- The database available in AUBE already contains more than 1400 AUv3 plugins!
- Any unknown AUv3 plugins will be moved to the default group section
- You can submit those unknown audio units via the page General; iCloud is required
- Submitting is a single export operation; any audio unit not referenced on the App Store will be ignored
- You cannot fill up the group, categories, or features
- The submitted audio units will be classified by us, added to the AUBE database, and provided as a free update for all AUBE users
- AUBE makes no warranties of any kind regarding the accuracy of the classification information provided
- Contact us if you find anything that’s incorrect
Things to Keep in Mind
- AUBE cannot access your App Store purchase history; it's restricted by Apple for obvious privacy and security reasons
- AUBE is not an AUv3; it does not make sounds! It’s a standalone organizer app
- You cannot launch or run AUv3 plugins in AUBE
- You cannot use the AUBE keyboard within an AUv3 host app that does not provide a search text field to locate audio units in a list
AUBE addition to the general privacy policy
- Your AUBE data is privately shared across your different devices via iCloud
- User content: We collect the unknown audio units you voluntarily submit via AUBE
- The AUBE Keyboard is running in restricted access mode and does not track your keystrokes (no text input is involved)
FAC is a one-person business, and, as you may guess, designing such apps is a lengthy process
