Release notes

What shipped in each public version of Ainola.

Version 1.0.0

First release, 31 May 2026

Manage every plugin format

• Enable or disable AU, VST, VST3, CLAP and AAX in one click. Plugins are never uninstalled and every change is reversible.
• Scans all standard macOS plug-in locations, plus any custom folders you add.

One-click workflows

• Sibelius mode turns off effect plugins while keeping your playback engine, so Sibelius launches fast. Enable all restores your whole library.
• Create your own modes from the current state or from a tag, shown on the dashboard.

Organize and understand your library

• Tags, applied one at a time or in bulk, with search and sorting by name, vendor, format or status.
• Duplicate detection and a disk usage dashboard: total storage, a breakdown by format, and your largest plugins.
• Per-plugin details: vendor, version, architecture, size and location.

Polished, native experience

• A modern, native macOS design with a section-aware background and animated scanning.
• Ten languages, with an in-app language switcher.
• A 14-day trial, with one-time Starter, Pro and Teams licenses.
