You can use the AUBE Keyboard in AUM. Do not hesitate to contact me via the support for more information. All the best, Fred ### 5/5 — Only app of its kind. *2025-01-09* With 500 music apps. This database is a godsend. ### 4/5 — PLEASE allow🙏📿 in update *2024-12-06* we live subjectively in this world.. can we PLEASE have the option to organize/categorize OUR OWN renamed groupings? ### 5/5 — The best app to see what you actually have installed *2024-11-26* This is a great idea to help you stay organized. It would also be cool if it showed you if it was link, enabled or audiobus compatible . Or if there is a way, it could show you the InterAp audio apps you have as well. ### 5/5 — Absolutely awesome *2024-11-18* Why didn’t I buy it earlier?! I’m buying fewer new plugins because I can actually find the ones I own already now. Extremely clever design with the input keyboard and works great. Seems like a native part of Drambo when I use it there. Everything Fred makes is gold. I own all of his plugins and I love them all. Five stars! ### 3/5 — Needs an update *2024-09-18* Purchased and like it, its very useful. But needs an update to reflect the new units being created since last update. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-09-11* Great for keeping everything organized. Good job. There is nothing like it on iOS ### 5/5 — AUBE's utility & simplicity are genius. *2024-08-23* Anybody with a library of AUv3 apps really needs this, a lot. It's like Photos app for AUv3 … but so so so much better! I can't think why an app like this wasn't thought if earlier, it's the app I didn't know I desperately needed but when I first saw it I instantly knew I did. Unutterably helpful. I <3 u dev(s). <3 ### 5/5 — 🔥CLEAN UP CREW 👏 *2024-08-18* ιουε ### 5/5 — AUBE the savour of the forgetful *2024-08-03* What a simple and yet great idea. An AUV3 catalogue app to tell you what you own. Suburb, just paid for the update 🙏. ## Frequently asked questions about AUBE ### What does AUBE do?
