Plugin inventory for recall prep, missing-plugin review and portable HTML reporting.
Session recall, before the panic
Know what is missing before you open the session.
PIK Scan checks DAW sessions against the plugins on your Mac, then exports a clean report you can send before the recall starts.
macOS beta. Local scan. No client session upload.
.ptxPro Tools sessions
.cprCubase projects
.nprNuendo projects
.rppREAPER projects
Supported formats
Built for real recall traffic, not a demo folder.
PIK Scan reads the session formats engineers actually exchange, plus the WAV metadata issue that often breaks Pro Tools handoffs.
Parse project plugin references and catch WAV handoff risks before they reach another room.
Designed for post and Atmos-adjacent handoffs where session compatibility gets expensive fast.
Read text-based sessions quickly and separate installed plugins from what still needs action.
Detect stereo files that Pro Tools may split into A1/A2 and write clean fixed copies in batch.
The scan
One drop. Five answers.
PIK Scan turns plugin recall into a simple status readout, with the missing pieces separated from the noise.

Session plugin inventory
Drop a session and get a readable list of every plugin it references, grouped by what is installed, built in, shell-hosted or missing.
Missing plugin links
The report links missing vendors back to their official sites, so the next step is obvious instead of another search spiral.
Portable HTML reports
Export a clean HTML report for collaborators, assistants or another room without sending the original client session.
WAV compatibility
It also fixes the WAV problem Pro Tools users keep meeting.
Some Cubase and Nuendo stereo WAV exports carry iXML metadata that makes Pro Tools split them into .A1 and .A2 files. PIK Scan detects that risk and can write a clean stereo copy while preserving the audio bytes.

Details
Beta notes.
Does PIK Scan upload my session?
No. The scan runs locally on your Mac and the HTML report is generated locally.
Which formats are supported in the beta?
Pro Tools .ptx, Cubase .cpr, Nuendo .npr, REAPER .rpp and WAV compatibility checks.
Is this the same app as PIK Pro Player?
No. It shares the PIK family, but PIK Scan is focused on session compatibility and plugin recall.
Can I send the report without sending the session?
Yes. The exported HTML report is meant to be shared without attaching the original client session.
