DAW Plugin Manager

Take control of
your plugin library.

Plugoff scans, organises, and offloads your audio plugins so your DAW loads faster and your sessions stay clean.

Free for Mac and Windows. AU, VST, VST3, and AAX.

Your plugin library, tidied up.

Unused plugins can be offloaded to a folder or external drive, leaving just the plugins and formats you need. Your DAW will load faster and won’t be littered with outdated or demo plugins.

Offloaded plugins are safely stored and can be restored at any time.

Offload

Offload What You Don’t Use

Move unused plugins to a safe vault folder with one click. Restore them just as easily when you need them back. Your sessions, your rules.

Offload to an external drive to free up disk space and keep your plugins safely backed up.

Plugoff plugins view with the path column and column picker

Editable manufacturers, a duplicate finder, plugin paths, and a column picker.

Customise

Your Library, Your Way

Rename or create your own manufacturer names, find duplicate plugins scattered across folders, and see the exact path of every plugin.

A new column picker lets you choose exactly which columns to show, so the view always matches how you work.

Universal Audio

Clean up your UAD plugins.

Universal Audio users will know very well how all the unlicensed plugins litter your DAW’s plugin lists. Plugoff includes a special filter process just for UA plugins that separates out your licensed plugins, so you can clean up and offload plugins you don’t own.

Plugoff Universal Audio plugin categories

UAD plugins sorted by license status — authorised, trial, expired, and unmatched.

Also included

And there’s more.

Editable Manufacturers

Click any plugin’s manufacturer to rename it or create your own custom manufacturer name. Clean up mislabelled plugins and group them exactly how you want — preserved through rescans, offloads, and restores.

Find Duplicate Plugins

Duplicate filters surface plugins that exist in more than one place, so you can spot copies scattered across multiple folders and decide which to keep.

Column Picker & Plugin Paths

Choose which columns to show — version, installed, manufacturer, path, category, and size — and see the exact folder each plugin lives in.

Offload History

The Offloaded view shows when each plugin was offloaded, so you can spot the ones you haven’t needed in ages and permanently delete them to reclaim space.

Smart DAW Recommendations

Select your DAW(s) and Plugoff will flag redundant plugin formats you can safely offload. Running Logic? You probably don’t need those VST2 duplicates.

UAD License Detection

Import your UA Connect System Profile to see which Universal Audio plugins are authorised, in demo, or expired. No guesswork.

Dashboard & Insights

Visual breakdowns of your plugin library by manufacturer, format, and category. See how many plugins you own and how much space they use.

PDF Export

Generate a full plugin inventory report grouped by manufacturer. Great for studio audits or rebuilding new setups.

Built for Producers, Not IT

No terminal commands. No manual file moves. Just a clean interface that gets out of your way.
