A free Mac app that keeps a version of your Live set every time a save changes the music, with a line saying what changed. Go back to any version, keep variations of a song side by side, and merge two of them. Alpha. Audio isn't versioned.

Could you build this?

Partial A Mac app that snapshots and diffs Live sets is buildable with AI help, but merging two arrangements is hard, and Ableton's project format must be reverse-engineered and parsed correctly.

What it would actually take: The app would parse Live's .als project files (gzipped XML) and store versioned snapshots, with diffs described in plain language. Merging is the hard part: it needs a semantic model of tracks, clips, and automation that can reconcile conflicts without corrupting the set. Audio versioning is excluded, which keeps the storage problem manageable. Building it needs macOS (Swift) expertise and familiarity with Live's internals.
