I had three hundred unfinished tracks across four DAWs and couldn't remember which one was actually good. So I built the thing I wished existed.

Prologue · Meet the artist
Meet SABLE.
A bedroom producer mid-record on his album NOIR. Eight projects open, none finished, a release date that only lives in his head.
Same as you.
NOIR
SABLE
SBL-09Act 1 · The Chaos
Eight beats open, three hard drives, no release plan. That was SABLE, buried in his own work.
Three jobs steal your studio time.
Vantom takes all three.
Act 2 · The Turn
Then every project landed in one place. The digging stopped.
The answer toFile & Folder Chaos
Every project you've ever started, finally findable.
Act 3 · The Transformation
Plan it, finish it, watch it move. SABLE stopped starting over.

Act 4 · The Artist

FAQ
Honest questions.
Will it pop up while I work?
No. No popups during creative phases, no sounds, no streaks, no daily-goal scolding. The Mini Mode dock is one pulsing dot. Nudges are opt-in and rare: ear-fatigue after 90 minutes, loop-dwell after 15 on the same loop. That is the whole list.
Will Vantom™ ever move, rename or change my project files?
Never. Vantom™ only reads and indexes the folders you already have, and it never edits, moves, renames or deletes your originals. Your DAW projects stay exactly where you left them. Think of it as a read-only layer on top of your existing files, not a new place you have to migrate into.
Which DAWs does Vantom™ recognise?
All of these out of the box. Vantom™ scans project folders, not the DAW itself, so it works whether the app is open or not.

Mac or Windows?
Both. Built on Windows 11, tested on macOS. The Vantom™ Sync VST is universal (VST3 + AU).
Where does my stuff live, and what leaves my machine?
On your machine. Project scans, samples, session history, notes and the changelog all stay in your local user folder. Nothing about your projects (names, sample paths, artwork) leaves your computer unless you switch on a cloud feature like Google Drive or Dropbox, or publish to SoundCloud yourself. Local-first by default; cloud is opt-in and only syncs what you mark. That holds for client work under NDA too.
Is the Free tier actually usable, or just a demo?
Free is a real tier, not a countdown. You get plugin recognition across every DAW, an auto-changelog on every save, project notes and themes: yours, no card, forever. It surfaces your 6 most-recent projects; Pro lifts that to unlimited and adds the workflow and release tools. Free never expires and never asks for payment.
Will it slow my machine while I produce?
It's built to stay out of the way. Scanning runs quietly in the background and Mini Mode is a single docked panel, not a second DAW. Vantom™ sits beside your session and doesn't hook into your audio engine, so it can't add latency to the thing you're actually making.
I've got years of projects on disk. How bad is the first scan?
The first index walks your folders once, then keeps itself up to date incrementally, so a big library is a one-time wait, not a recurring one. You keep working while it runs in the background; nothing blocks the app.
How does the trial work?
The 14-day free trial runs on Pro Monthly. You add a card up front at checkout (handled by Lemon Squeezy), but nothing is charged during the trial: the first charge lands on day 15 unless you cancel before then. Cancel during the trial and you pay nothing; your account simply settles onto the permanent Free tier. Nothing locks, nothing breaks, and your local project files stay put. Pro Yearly (€59) is a direct purchase with no trial. Free, of course, never needs a card at all.
Founder Edition: pay once, no subscription?
Yes. One payment, the full Pro feature set, and every future update included, for as long as Vantom™ exists. No subscription, no renewal, nothing that quietly flips to a monthly bill later. It's a limited launch offer: once the window closes it's gone, but if you bought in, Pro is simply yours.
If I stop paying for Pro, do I lose my work?
No. Your projects never lived inside Vantom™; they're your own files on your own disk. Cancel Pro and your account settles back to Free; your notes, changelog and history stay readable and nothing locks. You can walk away any time and your music is exactly where it always was.
