Desktop on more than one machine
Every install of the desktop app registers itself, so the other machine can say where a project lives, sync preferences follow the account, and a conflict names the device.
What it is
A studio Mac and a laptop signed into the same account used to know nothing about each other. Now each install registers itself on Aden and reports which tracks it holds: the folders linked to cloud tracks, how fresh the project on disk is, and the tracks that exist only there. Names and dates only. No file ever leaves a machine because of this.
What you see
- On the Local tab, under the tracks on this Mac, a block per other install: "On your MacBook", with each track it holds, when it was last opened, and "not on Aden yet" for a track that only exists there.
- On Home, a "Continue" list: the last tracks opened on any of your machines, newest first, and where.
- On the track page on the web, "Project on Studio Mac, opened Tuesday" for your own machines, and a note when that project is newer than what was pushed.
- When a linked folder pulls a newer project, the message names who pushed it: your other machine, or a collaborator's.
Sync preferences follow the account
Which files stay offline (cloud only or on this Mac, per team, track, album or milestone, and the date filter) is a decision about the work, so it is saved to the account and applied on every install. Folder paths stay per machine. The newer copy wins when two disagree.
An album in one click
In a team's sync settings, each album has "Sync album": it pulls every track's project files for that album in one run.
Desktop Local surface
The desktop app's own screens: your DAW projects and the player on one page, plus Sync, Files, Samples and the AI DAW bridge.
Desktop offline mode and tracks on this Mac
The desktop app stays signed in without a network, shows the lists it last saw, and keeps tracks on the machine until you put them on Aden.
