PT PeekSee inside your Pro Tools® sessions
PT Peek gives you instant visibility into sessions — no waiting for Pro Tools to open — macOS 12 (Monterey) and later.
For people who have a lot of Pro Tools® sessions
Work faster, stay in the flow. Instantly browse, listen, and import.
Quick Look or Deep Dive
Select a Pro Tools® session file (.ptx) in Finder and press Space for a Quick Look. Open With PT Peek to dive deep: listen to clips and files, reveal files in Finder, and import.
Tracks, Audio Files, and Clips
See all your tracks with color, type, format, and plugins. Listen to the clips and files. Reveal files in Finder.
Import to Pro Tools
Import basic track data (type, name, format, color), audio files, and clips with a couple clicks. Requires Pro Tools® 2025.6 or later.
Session Setup
See the essentials at a glance: sample rate, bit depth, session length, start time, frame rate, pan depth, and audio format.
Resizable, Zoomable Timeline
Adjust the timeline height to any level. Zoom in and out with buttons or keyboard shortcuts. Get a bird's-eye view, or zoom in to a single track or clip.
Plug-ins
See every plug-in used in the session, active and inactive, with each plug-in's exact location shown as an insert in the Tracks section.
Memory Locations
Every memory location in the session — markers, selections, and zooms — with names and timeline positions.
Session Report
Export a PDF report of your Pro Tools® session with all the details.
Audio Player
Multichannel audio playback of multi-mono or interleaved files and clips. Monitor with the default system audio device as surround or stereo.
Find what you need in massive Pro Tools® sessions
Hundreds of tracks. Thousands of clips. PT Peek gives you two levels of filtering to drill down fast.
Sub-sessions
Select the part you care about
Carve a sub-session out of any .ptx file: select a portion of the Overview, and PT Peek treats that slice as a sub-session. Browse it, listen to clips and files, and import any parts into Pro Tools® without ever touching the rest.
Text Search
Filter as you type
Type to filter tracks, audio files, and clips by name — the lists shrink in real time to just what matches. The overview highlights the same items so you can see where they live on the timeline at a glance.
How it works
Pro Tools session files are complex. PT Peek reads them with a unique technology pipeline built for reliability.
A breakthrough in reading .ptx files
There's no public spec for the .ptx format. After years of experimentation, our founder Paul found a new approach that finally works — letting PT Peek see tracks, clips, plugins, and more so Pro Tools users can work faster and stay in the flow.
Tested against hundreds of real sessions
Our regression suite runs against a growing library of real-world Pro Tools® sessions before every release — different versions, sample rates, channel formats, and surround configurations — so PT Peek stays reliable across real-world projects.
Gets smarter with every report
Pro Tools sessions can have subtle quirks we haven't seen yet. PT Peek includes a one-click form to send us a problem session privately — so we can fix it fast and ship the improvement to every user.

Very cool features that have been needed for a long time.
“I just want to quickly find out what’s in a session without opening it or launching PT, especially the larger or older sessions. Thanks Neyrinck!”
“This is incredible. It takes 5-10 minutes to open our 700-800 track reels in Pro Tools. Now just a few seconds. I mean.... seriously. A very big deal.”
“Tracks overview with the actual inserts and their actual chain location is great. Very useful.”
“PT Peek is something I have been pining for since time immemorial, thank you for this.”
“OMG I’ve been waiting for something like this. Where has this been for the last 30 years!?”
“Unspeakably great piece of software.”
