Download Depot

New

• Duplicate finder — a new Duplicates item in the sidebar. One click searches the whole library for copies by comparing values Depot already measured during scanning: duration, size, channels, bit depth, sample rate, Peak and RMS. File contents are not re-read, so the search runs in seconds.
• Two match kinds — green for full copies where the name matches too, yellow for the same file saved under a different name. A copy re-saved in another format is not treated as a duplicate.
• Groups at a glance — rows of one group sit together, tinted in their match colour; neighbouring groups differ in tint strength and are split by a hairline. Hovering a row outlines it instead of washing the group colour away.
• Dedicated columns in this view — a checkbox square on the left, and the file's folder in place of the comment column, since that is what you look at when choosing which copy to drop. Clicking the Folder header reorders whole groups by folder (alphabetical, click again to reverse) without breaking them.
• Marking copies — the squares on the left are a separate "to delete" set, not the row selection. A square is toggled only by clicking the square itself; Shift-clicking a square marks a contiguous run. Clicking a row elsewhere still selects it for preview without touching the squares.
• View filters — three pills in the panel above the list: match kind (🟢 full copies, 🟡 renamed), group size, and folder (with a copy count each, most-populated first). Each pill's options are narrowed by the other two.
• Check folder — one button marks every copy inside the chosen folder and leaves copies of the same samples elsewhere alone, so the library can be cleaned folder by folder. Earlier marks are kept.
• Deleting marked copies — Remove from Library (rows leave the library, files stay on disk and return on the next rescan, without their markup) and Move to Trash (files go to the system Trash / Recycle Bin). Both ask for confirmation with the file count.
• Move markup to the copies you keep — an optional switch: before deletion, tags, favourite, comments and category of the marked copies are handed to the surviving ones.

Changes

• Moving a file, a selection, or a whole folder to the Trash / Recycle Bin now always asks for confirmation and names what is going. Previously only permanent deletion was confirmed.

New

• Rescan is much faster — a file whose size and modification time have not changed since last time is not opened at all, so a second pass over an unchanged folder takes a fraction of the first one, and its duration depends on how much has changed rather than on the size of the library.
• Missing section in the sidebar — every file that is no longer on disk is collected in one place, with its own counter. Missing files no longer show up anywhere else.
• A summary after every scan — a message tells you how many files went missing, how many came back and whether some folders could not be read.
• Folders are checked when you expand them in the tree — expanding a folder reads it from disk anyway, so Depot now compares it with the library at the same time: files that are gone, and whole vanished subfolders, move to Missing immediately, and a folder restored with its contents reappears in the tree. You no longer have to run a full Rescan to find out.
• Double-click checks a missing file right away — a double-click on a row in the Missing section asks the disk about that one file without scanning anything else.
• Markup of a missing file is frozen — category, tags, favorite and comment cannot be changed while the file is away, so the markup waits for it exactly as it was.

Changes

• Total, the sidebar counters and the distribution panel now count only the samples that are actually available — missing files are left out, the same way the folder tree has always counted them.
• The filter pills follow the Missing section too: inside it they offer the values of the missing files, and everywhere else those values are gone.

New

• Interface scale — six steps from 80 % to 150 % (80 / 90 / 100 / 110 / 125 / 150) that resize everything at once: text, icons, buttons, panels. Use the − and + buttons in the settings panel to step through the sizes, or click the percentage itself to pick any of the six from a list. Cmd/Ctrl +, Cmd/Ctrl − and Cmd/Ctrl 0 do the same from the keyboard. The chosen size is remembered between sessions.
• The window resizes together with the interface — a larger scale gives you a larger window, so the file list keeps showing the same amount of content.
• The current scale is shown in the window title — Depot at 100 % and Depot [125%] on every other step, so the size is visible without opening the settings.
• The toolbar folds itself up when the window is too narrow — at a large interface scale or in a narrow window the toolbar content moves into a single ⋯ button at its right edge, in two steps: first the three panel switches, then the search field, which would otherwise be cut off.
• Automatic Ride detection — scanning now recognises ride cymbals by file name and puts them in the Ride category instead of the general Cymbal. As before, only files with No category are touched: any category you assigned by hand stays as it is.

Fixes

• A pack name no longer strips the category from the samples inside it. Folders such as Prime Loops, Crates & Breaks or KXVI - TAPE BREAKS DRUM KIT name a shop shelf, not the role of a file, and used to leave every one-shot inside them — down to One Shots/Snares/*.wav — with no category at all. The loop and FX rules now read the file name and the two nearest folders only.
• Stems are recognised as loop material and stay uncategorised: files in folders like Raw Cratez Stems used to be classified as one-shots.

New

• Category distribution in the stats popover — the panel opened from Total in the status bar is now split into two tabs. Format keeps the five distributions by file properties, and the new Categories tab shows how many files carry each category and how many are still unmarked (the No category row). Like every other legend row, they filter the list — plain click, Shift+click to combine, click again to clear. The active tab is remembered until the app is restarted.
• A colour of its own for every category — all nine drum categories used to share one orange, which made them indistinguishable in the stats legend. Each category now has a distinct colour, used both by the chips in the file list and by the legend.
• Seven new categories — Ride, Keys, Lead, Pad, Strings, Brass, and Sequence, bringing the list from 16 to 23. Vox is now labelled Vocal; markup already assigned to it is untouched. Ride is only ever assigned by hand — automatic classification still puts ride samples in Cymbal.
• Exact file name search — put a name in double quotes and only files named exactly that stay in the list.
• The transport panel is always on screen — playback buttons, the time counter, and the volume slider no longer disappear together with the waveform. The toolbar toggle now controls the waveform only, and hiding it collapses the panel down to the transport strip without interrupting playback: the player keeps playing and the time counter runs without a gap. The transport stays in full in compact mode too.
• Support the project — a muted link at the bottom of the About popover, leading to the donation page.

Changes

• The Name column no longer shows the .wav extension. Inspector still shows it, dimmed.

Fixes

• The Name column now keeps a readable minimum width when the window is narrowed: instead of squeezing the sample name, the Comment column gives way first.
• The About popover now shows its shadow on the right edge on both platforms.

New

• The file list now includes sortable Peak and RMS columns. Levels are shown as compact dBFS values, while samples without saved measurements display — and remain at the end of the sort order.
• A new Rescan action in the folder context menu recursively scans only the selected source or subfolder. It is available in both Compact and Flat tree modes and is disabled while another scan is running.

Changes

• Selecting an older sample in the Inspector now fills its missing Peak and RMS values in the file list without triggering background analysis while browsing or scrolling. A full rescan remains the explicit way to calculate levels for an entire existing library.

Fixes

• Expanded folder branches and their file counts now refresh without collapsing after a scan completes.
• Peak and RMS values calculated by the Inspector are no longer replaced by an older file-list response that finishes loading later.

New

• The Inspector now shows each sample's absolute Peak and RMS levels in dBFS, with contextual hints explaining how the measurements are calculated.
• Existing libraries do not need a full rescan: missing levels are calculated automatically the first time a sample is shown in the Inspector, then cached and saved for future sessions.

Changes

• New scans and rescans now calculate and store Peak and RMS alongside the existing WAV metadata and waveform preview.
• Peak is measured across all channels, while RMS covers the entire file, including leading and trailing silence. Floating-point WAV levels above 0 dBFS remain visible instead of being clamped.

Changes

• Refreshed the app icon across all supported platforms with a cleaner design and no background tile.
• The About panel now includes a dedicated author-links section with Sergey’s music releases on Apple Music and Alexander’s GitHub profile.

Fixes

• Status bar action buttons now remain visible when the window is narrowed; informational content shrinks first instead of pushing the buttons off-screen.

New

• Custom tags — give each sample any number of free-form labels for instruments, moods, projects, or any other way you organize your library.
• Tags are shown as chips in the new Tags column, with overflow collapsed into a +N counter; the Inspector shows the complete tag list.
• Open the tag picker by double-clicking anywhere in a Tags cell or from the file context menu. It works with multi-selection, so tags can be added to or removed from many files at once.
• Enter several tags together using spaces, commas, or semicolons. Leading # characters are removed automatically, making pasted hashtag lists ready to use.
• The new Tags toolbar filter supports Any and All matching, so a file can match at least one selected tag or every selected tag. The chosen mode is kept between sessions.
• Automatic drum classification — scanning now recognizes confidently named Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Closed/Open Hi-hat, Clap, Cymbal, Rim, Tom, and Perc one-shots from their names and folder paths.

Changes

• The file list now has 13 columns, including Tags, and the toolbar has seven filters.
• Rescanning may fill files that currently have No category, but it never replaces an existing category, favorite, or comment. Ambiguous files and loop or FX candidates remain uncategorized.
• Choosing No category clears the current category and allows the next rescan to try automatic drum classification again.

Fixes

• Opening the tag picker now places the cursor in its input field immediately.
• Double-clicking the Tags cell of a selected file no longer collapses a multi-selection before the picker opens.
• File-list loading errors now appear as a notification instead of looking like an empty library.
• Removing a tag used by the active Tags filter now refreshes the results immediately.

New

• Interface hints — hovering a control brings up a plaque with a short title and a couple of sentences explaining not what the button is, but why you would need it and when.
• Hints are available on the key controls: Add Folder, list density, filters and search, panel toggles, the source-tree mode and the sidebar quick filters, playback modes, favourites and category, collection stats, window modes, and settings.
• The plaque goes away when the pointer leaves the control, on a mouse click or key press, on scrolling, and when the window loses focus.

Changes

• The settings panel has a new Interface hints option. Hints are on by default; with the option off, every control keeps its usual system tooltip — nothing is hidden or replaced.

New

• About panel — click the version number in the status bar to open an About popover with the app info.
• Cleaner first launch — on a fresh library the player and inspector start hidden, so you see just the file list and a getting-started hint until you add your first folder.
• The empty file list now explains what a scan does.
• The "no folders yet" hint in the source tree is now a button.

Changes

• Filter pills in the toolbar now follow the same order as the file-list columns.

Fixes

• The search result counter is now hidden while the search field is empty.
• The folder equalizer indicator now animates on the folder of the file that is actually playing, and stops when playback is paused or stopped.
• The player no longer shows a "playing" state after a file fails to load, and the transport controls no longer dim while the next sample is loading.
• The source tree no longer gets stuck on "Loading…" if the folder list fails to load, and the empty state no longer flashes before folders finish loading from the database.

New

• Add Folder in the toolbar — the button that adds a source folder now lives in the toolbar next to the other controls instead of taking up a permanent section at the bottom of the sidebar, leaving more room for the folder tree.
• Search in the toolbar — the search field moved into the toolbar, freeing the strip it used to occupy for more file rows. The result counter is now always visible and reflects the current selection, which also changes with the toolbar filters.
• Active sample path in the status bar — the status bar now shows the folder the selected sample plays from, so you no longer need Reveal or the source tree to find it. The path stays visible while paused and after Stop, and the file name is always shown in full (the path is truncated from the left).

Changes

• Toolbar filters are now pinned to the left of the central zone instead of being centred, sitting next to the file list when the sidebar is open.
• The toolbar's left zone (density toggle + Add Folder) now spans exactly the sidebar width and animates in sync with it, so its right edge lines up with the sidebar/file-list border.
• The search field now has a fixed width and is pinned to the right, before the panel toggles, instead of stretching to fill the toolbar.
• Removed waveform zoom from the player. The player is a listening tool, not an editor: zoom cluttered the transport bar and conflicted with wheel scrolling over the waveform.

Fixes

• On a narrow window the search field no longer shrinks to nothing and slides under the panel toggles.
• The active file's path in the status bar no longer collapses to zero when Total, Filtered, and Selected stats are shown at the same time — the icon and the tail of the file name stay visible.

Changes

• Stable releases are now published atomically after both the macOS and Windows builds finish, so a release never appears with only one installer.
• Release notes are now included automatically from the tagged commit.
• New stable releases are announced in the Depot Telegram channel.

New

• Scoped filter options — the toolbar dropdowns (category, channels, bit depth, sample rate, duration, size) only show values that actually occur in the current scope: the selected folder, the search query and the sidebar mode (All / Favorites / Recent / With comments). Duration and size presets with no data in scope are hidden. An active filter always stays visible, even when it falls out of scope.
• SearchBar highlight — typing a query gives the search field an accent outline and background, and the clear button turns accent.

Fixes

• Filter options are refetched after in-app mutations (category, favorite, comment, deletion, missing mark), not only on navigation.

New

• Flat folder tree mode — a new display mode: every source subfolder in one flat list, without nesting. Toggled by a single button in the sidebar. File counts next to each folder load lazily. The mode persists between sessions.

• Current folder highlight in the tree — double-clicking a file, pressing Locate or navigating Prev/Next/Play Through expands the tree down to the file's folder and highlights its row with an animated equalizer. The highlight clears on any next action (filter change, folder click, mode switch).

• Play Through (continuous playback) — a new mode replacing looping: when a sample ends, the next one in the list starts automatically. Loop and Play Through are mutually exclusive. A forced-autostart flag overrides the autorun setting for manual navigation.

• Filtering from the stats panel — clicking a legend row in the Collection Stats Panel sets a filter (single click is exclusive, Shift+click is additive). Reset clears the panel's filters while keeping search and category.

• File size filter — a Size pill with presets (Small, Medium, Large, Huge) has been added to the toolbar; the presets match the stats panel bins.

• Move to trash / delete from disk — the default action sends files to the OS trash without confirmation. Holding Shift deletes permanently, with confirmation. Both modes are supported in the file and folder menus, with one error policy and a summary of results.

• Locate button — separated from the transport by a thin divider; pressing it centers the list on the active file and expands its folder in the tree.

• Center-at-edge scrolling — Prev/Next and Play Through scroll the list so the active file lands at the edge of the viewport rather than the center; Locate always centers.

• Text selection disabled — a JS interceptor prevents text selection everywhere except input fields and elements with the .allow-select class. Zero CSS properties that affect WebView2.

• System WebView context menu suppressed — a document-level contextmenu interceptor blocks the native browser menu without touching the app's own context menus.

• Local Windows .exe cross-build from macOS — the just build-win-exe script builds a portable .exe with no installer; the status bar shows the version as date [branch] sha. The archive name includes the version, the date and the state of the Git tree.

• Single-click folder expansion — in the source tree, clicking a folder row both filters and expands/collapses the node (previously this required a click on the chevron).

Changes

• Continuous Playback renamed to Play Through for consistent terminology.
• The expanded tree mode renamed to flat.
• Folder Reveal renamed to highlight in the source tree.
• Duration and size presets moved to a single source; Duration upper bounds are now exclusive.
• The frequency aggregate label in the stats panel changed from "Other" to "< 44.1 kHz + Other".
• Duration bins in the stats panel aligned with the filter presets.
• Samples are no longer skipped when navigating in Play Through (the cause of dropped audio is gone).

Fixes

• Races and state leaks in the player's auto-advance: a false stop when changing files during playback is gone; the Continuous toggle no longer sticks when the media isn't ready.
• Playback is no longer interrupted when changing folders in the sidebar.
• File counts in the tree are recalculated correctly after scanning and deletion; cache invalidation leaves no stale values.
• In Flat mode, source roots are no longer shown in the list.
• Deleting a nested folder no longer collapses the tree to the root.
• The context menu handles Shift held down before opening; the Shift highlight clears when the window loses focus.
• Stats panel: fixed column widths for count and percent; a fifth Duration bin color; the "< 44.1 kHz + Other" label covers every non-standard rate (including NULL and high ones).
• A custom Duration range in the filter no longer diverges from the pill's state.
• The Vue warning about the non-inherited class attribute is gone from the FileList component.
• The maximized window state is remembered when leaving compact mode.
• Small cross-build fixes: a comment, .gitignore, archive naming on a dirty tree, handling of a missing signature.

New

• New drum categories — Clap (CL), Cymbal (CY), Rim (RM) and Tom (TM) have been added. All four are available in the filter, the context menu and the chip grid.
• "No category" filter — the category dropdown now has a "No category" entry that selects samples with no category (NULL or empty).
• Select all with Ctrl+A / Cmd+A — selects every file in the current selection (with filters active, only the filtered ones); it doesn't reset the active file or interrupt playback.
• Reveal File — the file context menu now has a cross-platform "Reveal File" entry: it opens the file in Finder (macOS) or Explorer (Windows).
• Show File Properties — the file context menu now has a "Show File Properties" entry: it opens the system properties window ("Get Info" on macOS, the Properties dialog on Windows).
• Chip grid in the context menu — categories are now shown as a compact 4×4 grid of colored chips instead of a long list.
• Menus are mutually exclusive — the context menu and the CategoryPicker no longer open at the same time; opening one closes the other.
