Pop-Out Browser for Ableton Live is a companion app that gives Ableton’s browser something it has always been missing: its own window.
Instead of being limited to the browser panel built into Ableton Live, Pop-Out Browser lets you browse Ableton’s content from a separate, resizable desktop window.
This means you can keep Ableton focused on your Arrangement or Session View while moving your browser somewhere else entirely — including another monitor.
Pop-Out Browser communicates directly with Ableton through its included Remote Script, allowing it to display and interact with content from Ableton’s own browser rather than functioning as a separate sample library or ordinary file explorer.
From the Pop-Out Browser, you can:
• Browse Ableton’s instruments, effects, samples, packs, and other browser content
• Navigate folders and categories from a separate window
• Load browser items directly into Ableton Live
• Expand the browser much larger than Ableton normally allows
• Move it onto a second monitor for a cleaner production workspace
• Keep your browser accessible without constantly resizing Ableton’s interface
Designed for multi-monitor workflows
If you use more than one display, Pop-Out Browser can essentially turn one screen into a dedicated Ableton browser while your main display remains focused on producing, arranging, mixing, or performing.
Even on a single monitor, being able to resize, move, minimize, and position the browser independently gives you much more control over your workspace.
Connected directly to Ableton Live
Pop-Out Browser uses an included Ableton Remote Script to communicate with Live locally.
When you browse through the app, you're interacting with browser information provided by Ableton itself. When you choose something to load, Pop-Out Browser sends that selection back to Ableton.
In other words, this isn't just another Windows file browser with an Ableton-inspired interface.
It's an external browser interface for Ableton Live.
The idea is simple:
Let Ableton be Ableton — and give the browser its own screen.
