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

  1. Background Watching
    • Monitors your Ableton Projects folder for changes.
    • Detects every Save automatically — no plugin or DAW integration required.
  2. Automatic Snapshots
    • Captures the full .als file the instant you save.
    • Diffs each snapshot against the last to build a change log.
  3. 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

  1. Platform
    • macOS, Windows, and Linux.
  2. Ableton Live
    • Requires Live 12 — no plugin installation needed.

Use Cases

  1. Fearless Experimentation
    • Try wild ideas knowing you can always roll back to an earlier version.
  2. Session Recovery
    • Recover a deleted track, moved fader, or accidental edit in seconds.
  3. Creative History
    • Look back on how a track evolved from first idea to final mix.
