Built for Ableton Live

Every project, sample & plugin you own.
One studio HQ.

Saltado Sessions scans your computer for every Ableton session you've ever made. Hundreds of projects found in seconds, BPM and key read straight out of the .als files, bounces you can play instantly — and it tells you if a collaborator's session will open cleanly before you open it.

Ableton Live · Windows & macOS · no account · your music never leaves your machine

Saltado Sessions showing the session list with one project expanded: waveform preview with a draggable play window, session files with their Live versions, and collapsible Devices & Plugins, Samples Used and Notes sections. — The actual app — 126 sessions tracked, one expanded.

Built like the DAW you already live in

Deterministic, offline, and fast. It reads your files — it never moves or modifies your sessions.

🔍

Finds your world in seconds

Point it at nothing — the setup wizard sweeps your drives for Ableton projects, sample packs, racks, Max for Live devices and plugins. Your Live installs and User Libraries are found automatically; confirm once and it takes over from there.

🎛

Your sessions, decoded

BPM and key read straight out of the .als — no tagging, no guessing. Ratings, statuses, tags, notes, and the full Saltado OS status pipeline. Play your latest bounce on any track without opening Live.

🤝

"Will this session open?"

Drop an .als someone sent you: every plugin it needs, and exactly which ones you're missing — before Live silently bypasses them. Ableton today, more DAWs next.

Plugin Passport

Export your plugin collection as a tiny file. Swap with a collaborator and see what crosses over — both have / only them / only you. Works whatever either of you produces in.

📥

Drop it, it's organized

New sample pack? Max for Live device? A Live set from a friend? Drop it on the Import page and it's filed, cataloged, and searchable automatically.

🔒

Local-first, always

Your music never leaves your machine. No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Saltado Sessions reads your files — it never moves or modifies your sessions.

What it reads, format by format

Ableton Live is fully supported today — the rest are built and being validated. Where a box is empty it's usually the format's doing, not ours: FL Studio never saves a project key, so no tool on earth can show you one. We'd rather tell you that than pretend.
