What it does

Search & filter

Find extensions by name, category, rating and downloads — inside a Live dialog.

Always current

Fetches the live registry when online, falls back to a bundled snapshot offline.

Direct downloads

Grabs the developer's official GitHub release .ablx into your Downloads folder.

Honest scope

Live's Extensions SDK has no install API — you still confirm each install in Preferences → Extensions.

What it talks to

The extension fetches exactly one thing: /api/v1/registry.min.json — a CC0, cached, ~10 KB list of installable extensions. Downloads come straight from each project’s own GitHub release URL. No account, no telemetry. The source lives in the site’s repository alongside the directory itself.
