Everything you own, in one place.
The Dead Signal Hub installs and updates your plugins and unlocks the ones you bought. It is free, optional, and never in the way.
Version 0.1.0 · macOS 12 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel, signed and notarized by Apple · Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, signed by Dead Signal Audio LLC

What it does.
Four jobs, and nothing else.
Sign in with an email code
Type the email you bought with, then the six-digit code we send you. There is no password. The Hub keeps a signed session on your computer so you are not asked again for a while.
See what you own
Your plugins in one list, with the version you have installed, the latest version, and whether each one is licensed on this Mac.
Unlock everything
One button puts every key you own where the plugins look for it. You do not paste anything. Trials you already started keep their clock.
Install and update
Downloads the right installer, checks it against its checksum, and opens it in Apple's installer. A download that does not match is deleted and never opened. You decide when to update.
Copy my key
If you would rather paste your keys yourself, the Hub shows each one and copies it for you.
Free plugins too
The free Nu plugins and the other free tools show up in the same list, so you can install them from the same place.
A look inside.
Screens from the app. These show example data, not a real account.
What it will never do.
Get in your way
Every plugin keeps working with a pasted key and no Hub, forever. The Hub is a convenience.
Run in the background
No account, no password, no background service, and it does not launch at login unless you turn that on.
Force an update
It tells you when something newer is out. It never updates a plugin on its own.
Questions.
Do I need it?
No. If you like pasting keys and running installers by hand, keep doing that. The Hub saves the steps.
Where do my keys go?
Into the same license files the plugins already read, in Dead Signal Audio's folder under Application Support. Nothing about the plugins changes.
What does it send?
It talks to deadsignalaudio.com to sign you in, list what you own and download installers. It does not read your audio or your projects.
Does it work on Windows?
Yes. The Windows version is signed by Dead Signal Audio LLC through Microsoft, so Windows shows our name instead of an unknown-publisher warning. Downloaded plugins install into your system VST3 folder after one permission prompt.
Something wrong?
Email support@deadsignalaudio.com and we will sort it out.
