under the hood.

🎚️

real-time codec engine

encodes + decodes through the actual spotify / apple codecs while the audio streams. no bouncing, no exporting, no waiting.

🎯

sample-accurate null

the dry signal gets auto-aligned against the delayed codec output, so the difference is genuinely the codec — not a phase error.

📊

running LUFS + null depth

ITU-R BS.1770 loudness settles toward the track's true value as it plays; null depth shows how close the codec stays to your source.

🎛️

auto −14 LUFS trim

optionally trims your input toward streaming's −14 LUFS target, so you audition the codec at the level people actually hear.

⏱️

reported latency + PDC

codec latency is reported to your DAW for automatic delay compensation — the null stays lined up and the panel shows the exact ms.

🔀

every tier, one insert

jump between spotify's tiers and apple's AAC without reloading. premium vs data saver vs apple music, back to back.

the tiers

every subscription tier, decoded.

these are the actual encoders behind each plan — not an approximation of them.

spotify

ogg vorbis · mac + windows

vorbis is royalty-free, so these tiers run everywhere NULLIFY does.

premiumogg vorbis 320 kbps — "very high", the best spotify gets
freeogg vorbis 160 kbps — the default everyone actually hears
data saverogg vorbis 96 kbps — where it gets crunchy

✓ vorbis is patent-free — zero royalty exposure

apple music + web

AAC · mac only

encoded through macOS's own AudioToolbox — apple's licensed system encoder, so no patented codec ships inside NULLIFY.

apple musicAAC 256 kbps — apple's own encoder
web premiumAAC 256 kbps — spotify in a browser, paid
web freeAAC 128 kbps — spotify in a browser, free

✓ uses the OS encoder already on every mac — mac-only by design

faq.

does it run on windows?+
yes — the app and the VST3 ship for both macOS and windows. one caveat: the AAC tiers (apple music / spotify web) use apple's own encoder, so those stay mac-only — every spotify vorbis tier works on both.
which DAWs?+
AU: logic, garageband, any AU host. VST3: ableton, fl studio, cubase, reaper, whatever else. in ableton, turn on “use VST3 system folders” in settings → plug-ins and rescan; logic just finds the AU. on windows it's a normal VST3 scan.
what's the demo like?+
fully functional — the audio just dips for a second every ~20s and the apple music tiers are locked. enter a key and both are gone instantly.
why do the meters keep moving?+
because it's measuring live. LUFS, the auto −14 trim and null depth are running measurements — they settle toward the real values over the first few seconds of playback.
how does the license work?+
one key covers the app, the AU and the VST3 on the same machine. unlock any one of them and the other two unlock automatically — they share a single license file, so you type your key exactly once.
is it signed?+
yes — signed and notarized with an apple developer ID. it opens clean, no security warnings.

stop guessing.
