Desktop app
Aden for Mac, Windows and Linux. Your projects, files and player on your own machine, in sync with the web app.
The desktop app holds the whole web app, plus what only your computer can do. It sees the DAW projects on your disk, keeps team folders in sync, plays audio without a network and puts your socials and chats in one window. Get it from the download page on aden.space.
The rail on the left switches between Aden, your files, chat, Links and anything you pin. The player sits at the foot of every screen. Press ⌘K to search, ⌘S to let the page fill the window, and ⌘ with plus or minus to zoom.
