# Device registry
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/more/device-registry

Your desktop installs, kept as one jsonb on your user row, so the track page can say which of your machines holds a project and whether it is newer than what was pushed.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

Every desktop install reports itself to your account: its name, platform,
when it was last seen, and 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, never files.

On a track page, under Details, you see "Project on Studio Mac, opened
Tuesday" for each of your own machines that has it, and "newer than what's
on Aden" when that copy has changes that were never pushed. When a linked
folder pulls a newer project, the message names the machine that pushed it.

Only you see your devices. Nobody else's machines show on your pages.
