Krate – Instant Kontakt Library Browser for macOS
Your library is massive. Finding sounds shouldn't be.
You've invested thousands in Kontakt libraries. Native Instruments, Spitfire, 8Dio, Orchestral Tools, free downloads—scattered across folders, drives, and formats. Kontakt's browser can't search across them. By the time you find the right patch, inspiration has moved on.
Krate fixes this.
⚡ INSTANT SEARCH
Type and find. Results appear in milliseconds across your entire library—every vendor, every folder, every .nki file. No more clicking through endless directories.
🎹 DRAG & DROP
Drag any instrument directly into Kontakt in your DAW. One fluid motion from search to sound.
⭐ SMART FAVORITES
Star your go-to patches across all vendors. Berlin Strings, Abbey Road, LABS—one click away.
📦 COLLECTIONS
Group instruments into custom palettes. Load entire collections into Kontakt with a single drag. Perfect for templates and sound design sessions.
🕐 RECENT HISTORY
Automatically tracks what you use. Recall that perfect patch from last week's session instantly.
🌗 LIGHT & DARK MODE
Matches your system or toggle manually. Easy on the eyes during late-night sessions.
