Field notes
The page describes a companion app that records a structured project snapshot whenever a supported DAW saves, then turns those snapshots into checkpoints, branches, and comparisons. Its examples include MIDI and automation diffs, stem views, and a four-person session timeline with branch and merge events. Rootnote says the beta works without file exports and supports Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, and FL Studio.
