Every bounce,
the second you make it

Your last mix, with its waveform and its loudness, before you have switched windows. Every version of a track folded into one row. Convert it and send it without opening anything. It works on every other file you touch too.

Only what matters

Narrow a rule to a folder name. “WAV inside Bounces” means your bounces, not every sample in the session.

Which is why it knows what a bounce is. Every version of a track folds into one row, led by the mix you call MAIN rather than whichever you saved last, because it learns how you name them. And every bounce is measured as it lands: integrated loudness, true peak and phase correlation, sitting on the row before you have opened anything.

Convert it, then
send it

Whatever format they asked for. MP3, WAV, AIFF, FLAC or Apple Lossless, each one remembering its own settings, so you set the bitrate once and never think about it again. Normalise to a peak or to broadcast loudness. Right-click, pick, done.

Everyone else has
the same problem

Recent Files started because bouncing a mix and then hunting for it in Finder, twenty times a day, is a stupid way to spend a life. It was built by a composer for his own sessions, which is why it knows what a bounce is, what a version is and how loud both of them are. Then it turned out everybody has that problem. It is just a different folder each time.

Producers and engineers

The bounce you made ten seconds ago, with its waveform, its integrated loudness and its true peak, before you have even switched windows. Every version of the track on one row. Convert it and send it without leaving the list.

Designers and photographers

Exports, proofs and layered files as real thumbnails, so you pick the right version first time instead of opening four.

Editors and writers

Every draft, PDF, contract and note you touched today, newest first, whichever folder it was buried in.

Everyone drowning in Downloads

Attachments, screenshots, invoices. The things you save and lose in the same minute.

Nothing moves, nothing is copied, nothing is uploaded. Your folders stay exactly as they are — Recent Files just puts the last thing you made one click from your cursor, all day, every day.
