Access the websites and apps you use without breaking your flow.
A Max for Live device that opens up to 5 URLs as chromeless Chrome app windows from inside your session. URLs stay locked in for old and new sessions. Comes with Blind Listen preloaded.
Drop !! Web Launcher.amxd in your Ableton User Library.
Win%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Ableton\User Library\Presets\Audio Effects\Max Audio Effect\ Mac~/Music/Ableton/User Library/Presets/Audio Effects/Max Audio Effect/Drag onto any audio track, click Open.
Open Live's browser, find !! Web Launcher under Max Audio Effect. Drag onto any audio track. Click an Open button to launch the URL.
Click Open to save your URL.
Typing a URL in a slot doesn't auto-save — clicking that slot's Open button (or the Lock toggle) is what commits it to ~/.web-launcher-config.json. Max's textedits don't fire a reliable commit on Enter; this is the design.
Use Lock once your URLs are set.
Flipping Lock disables further textedit edits and saves state. Prevents accidental edits during a mixing session.
First click takes ~2 seconds.
Node-for-Max needs a moment to start when you load a new instance. After that first click, every subsequent click is instant.
Falls back to default browser without Chrome.
Chrome or Edge gives you the floating-window experience (--app= mode). Without either, URLs open in your system default browser as a regular tab.
