AVXSight

AVXSight is a macOS app for discovering and listing audio plugins installed in the system Library (/Library).

Features

• Scans /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins for Audio Unit (AU), VST, VST3, and AAX plugins
• Displays plugin metadata (version, manufacturer, description if available)
• Lets you show plugins in Finder, copy their path, or reveal their folder in Terminal
• Only requests access to /Library (system Library) for maximum privacy and simplicity

Usage

1. On first launch, click the Refresh button and select the Library folder at the top level of your disk (Macintosh HD > Library) when prompted.
2. The app will scan /Library for plugins and display them in the list.
3. You can rescan at any time by clicking Refresh again.

Permissions

• The app only requests access to /Library and does not access or scan your user Library (~/Library).
• No background scanning or automatic prompts—everything is manual and user-initiated.

Changes in this version

• Simplified scope: Only scans /Library (system Library), not the user Library
• Simpler permissions: Only one folder access prompt, no confusion with sandboxed or user folders
• Cleaner UI: All references to user Library removed
