How it stays safe

Straight from the vendor

Never through our servers.

⌄
PluginHub reads the download page each vendor already publishes, and links to the installer file they host themselves. The file downloads straight from the vendor to your Mac. It never passes through PluginHub’s servers, and PluginHub never sees your vendor account, your licence keys or your payment details.

Only published installers

Otherwise, a Website button.

⌄
A vendor appears only when they publish their installers openly. Many put downloads behind an account login, ship everything through their own installer app, or publish a demo build only. In those cases PluginHub sends you to their site instead, which is why you will still see Website buttons on plenty of cards. We only ever link a file a vendor has actually published.

Nothing runs on its own

You choose when to install.

⌄
Downloads land in Downloads › PluginHub Installers and sit there until you choose to install. A batch asks for your administrator password once, runs the vendors’ own installers, and writes you a receipt of exactly what changed.

“PluginHub makes the process of keeping track of what’s installed, what’s up to date, and what needs attention incredibly simple. With one click, I can see all my plug-ins in one place, know what needs updating, and spot any paid upgrades. What used to be a tedious, manual process — where something always seemed to get missed — now takes just minutes. On top of that, it keeps an eye on updates going forward, so I can keep my focus where it belongs — on the work itself.”

“There’s nothing better than software that just works, and PluginHub delivers exactly that. It saves me from the ultimate studio buzzkill of manually searching for plugin updates and keeps my Pro Tools rig running smoothly. It’s a must-have tool for keeping your system stable and your focus on the session.”
