AirGear is a desktop app that runs quietly in the background, watching your Ableton Live Projects folder. Every time you hit save, AirGear snapshots the .als file and records exactly what changed — a full version history of your sessions, with zero manual effort.
How It Works
- Background Watching
- Monitors your Ableton Projects folder for changes.
- Detects every Save automatically — no plugin or DAW integration required.
- Automatic Snapshots
- Captures the full .als file the instant you save.
- Diffs each snapshot against the last to build a change log.
- Change Tracking
- Tracks added or removed, devices modified, tempo changes, clip edits, and mixer moves.
- Browse the full history of a session and jump back to any point.
Requirements
- Platform
- macOS, Windows, and Linux.
- Ableton Live
- Requires Live 12 — no plugin installation needed.
Use Cases
- Fearless Experimentation
- Try wild ideas knowing you can always roll back to an earlier version.
- Session Recovery
- Recover a deleted track, moved fader, or accidental edit in seconds.
- Creative History
- Look back on how a track evolved from first idea to final mix.
