| Description: | Create, manage, and navigate markers in Ableton Live with a clear list-based overview. • Create markers with a simple shortcut • View all markers in one clear list • Jump between markers quickly • Add notes to each marker • Use webhooks to trigger external actions • View notes in sync with your session on your tablet or smartphone --------------------------------- WHAT IS BETTERUI? BetterUI is designed to bring several utility workflows into one integrated device that feels as close as possible to being part of Ableton Live itself. It brings together many small but powerful features I always missed in Ableton Live — automatic coloring, session cleanup, timecode display, marker management, external sync, tablet control, and more. --------------------------------- WHAT ELSE BETTERUI INCLUDES • Colorizer Automatically color tracks and clips in Ableton Live by name for a faster and more organized workflow. • Session cleanup Remove deactivated devices, muted clips, and empty tracks with one click. • Working time tracking See how long you have been working on your set or project. • LTC and MTC output Sync Ableton Live with other software and external systems in any frame rate. • Flexible timecode display Show timecode in Ableton’s menu bar or place it anywhere in your set. • Tablet and phone control Control Ableton Live remotely using Mira. • Options.txt editor Enable experimental Ableton features without editing text files manually. • Full session overview Collapse all windows to create more space and focus on what matters. Tested with Ableton Live 12.3.6 --------------------------------- INSPIRATION BetterUI was built independently. However, the Max for Live community has many great devices that solve specific workflow problems, and some of them inspired me to think about certain workflow ideas.
