Cafecito

A free studio companion that lives on any track. By default Cafecito is a clean pass-through, so it never touches your audio; the one thing it can do is an optional trim, with a real analog VU meter (0 VU at -18 dBFS) and a live peak readout for light gain staging on a bus. It keeps a per-track Pomodoro timer with adjustable focus and break lengths, tallies how long you've worked, logs your coffees and teas, and holds your notes, to-dos, a kanban board and reference links. It also packs a chromatic tuner and an interactive circle of fifths for quick tuning and key checks. Six themes, and a modules menu so you can run it as a bare timer or the full rig. Everything saves inside your session, per track. macOS, Windows and Linux. VST3, AU and Standalone, no AAX. Free forever, no account, no activation. Your download link arrives by email the second you check out.
