The app for the eleven plugins

ZOKKU Hub

See what is installed and what is new, update everything with one click, go back whenever you want. Every plugin plays its real interface while you choose.

In beta. Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit; macOS 11 or later. The Hub is optional: the plugins never need it to run.

The real ZOKKU Hub, captured from the app itself on a demo computer. Silent.

Every plugin, one line

The list says where each plugin stands. Filters show only what needs you.

State and versions on every row

Each row shows the version you have and the latest one, like 0.14.2 → 0.14.3, and a chip with its state.

  • Update
  • Installed
  • Trial · days left
  • Trial ended
  • Owned
  • Not installed
  • Working…
The list in ZOKKU Hub: each plugin with its installed and latest version and a state chip, Update, Installed or Not installed, the filters with their counts, and Update all with the megabytes and one Windows prompt for all.

Update all, one prompt

Update all says how many plugins and how many megabytes before you press it. On Windows one permission prompt covers every update; on a Mac, one password.

VST3 and CLAP, with their sizes

Choose the formats for each plugin and see the size of each, the download and the space on disk, before anything starts. AU is for macOS.

Go back, or repair

Before every update the Hub keeps a copy of what you had. The versions list offers to go back to an earlier one: from the kept copy, with no download, or from the catalog.

Repair takes the package of the version you have, checks it against its SHA-256 list, then compares every installed file. It says what did not match and what it replaced; when everything matches, nothing is changed.

Library: the real interfaces

Switch from List to Library and every plugin is a tile with its own window. The tile under the pointer plays its interface; pick one and the panel opens on it. What needs you comes first.

The interfaces in the Hub are short silent captures of each plugin. They move only while you can see them, and stop with Pause or when the system asks for reduced motion.

Your licence, your way

Account optional

Everything works without an account. Signed in, the Hub shows the plugins you own and can activate them on this computer as they install; you can turn that off. Sign out and the licences stay on the computer. The Hub never keeps your password.

Activation without internet

For a studio computer that stays offline: save a request file, take it to any device with a browser, bring the activation file back. The request holds the product, the Hub version and a random number, nothing personal.

Or start the 7-day trial: no card, no account.

Quiet by design

  • No background serviceNothing starts at login and nothing runs when the Hub is closed. The plugins never need it.
  • Signed and checkedThe update catalog is signed and checked before the Hub reads it; every package is checked against its size and SHA-256 before it touches your plugin folders.
  • Calm when offlineWithout a connection the Hub shows the last catalog it checked, and when. Nothing retries on its own.
  • No telemetryWithout an account the Hub only downloads the catalog and the packages, with no identifiers.
