WaveDrive
Versioned cloud sync for your DAW projects. Every change captured, every version restorable, across every Mac you own.
Backup that understands how you work
WaveDrive lives in your menu bar and watches your project folders. It backs up every change without interrupting your session — and stays out of your way while you’re in the zone.
Every save is a checkpoint
Each time your DAW saves, WaveDrive captures a version. Scrub through history and restore to any point — restoring adds a new version, never overwrites.
Three sync modes
Upload-only for bounces, download-only for a read-only replica on a second machine, or bidirectional for libraries that grow everywhere. Pick per folder.
DAW-aware sync priority
WaveDrive detects when your DAW is running and adjusts sync behaviour accordingly. Recording? It pauses entirely so nothing touches your disk mid-take.
Deduplicated storage
The same sample used across a hundred projects is stored once. You pay for 1 GB, not 100 GB — deduplication happens automatically in the cloud.
Restore from any browser
Browse your library, scrub through versions, and restore files from WavePlan’s web interface. The restored file syncs back to every Mac you own.
Commercial reference buckets
Keep your purchased sample libraries and reference tracks synced alongside your projects — organized separately so they never clutter your sessions.
What is WaveDrive?
WaveDrive is a native macOS cloud backup and sync application built for audio engineers. It keeps your DAW projects, bounces, samples, and reference libraries versioned and synced across every machine you work on — automatically, in the background, with zero impact on your session.
Every file change is captured as a checkpoint you can restore to at any time. Deduplicated storage means the same sample used across ten projects only counts once against your quota. Three sync modes — upload, download, and bidirectional — let you tailor each folder to the way you actually work, whether that's backing up bounces, pulling a project library onto a second machine, or keeping a reference collection current everywhere.
WaveDrive works hand-in-hand with WavePlan , the browser-based mix planning workspace. Files you sync with WaveDrive appear in WavePlan ready to annotate, compare, and plan against — and anything you restore in the browser syncs back to your Macs. Together they form one continuous studio environment, from DAW to web and back again.
Catch every break
WaveDrive is included with every WavePlan subscription. Download the app, create your account, and let WaveDrive look after your library. Works with macOS 26 Tahoe and later.
