Official Implementation
Early AccessThe AIAPS Plugin
The AIAPS Plugin fingerprints and registers your recordings with the AIAPS registry, producing a timestamped, verifiable declaration that your work is not authorized for AI training.
Bit-perfect protection. Your master, untouched. The plugin writes only an AIAPS ID into the file's metadata, never the audio itself. Always 100% free for artists. Standalone macOS app, AU, and VST3; all processing runs locally and your audio never leaves your machine.
Section 01 - How It Works
Step-by-Step
Step 01
Load the Plugin
Open the standalone macOS app or insert the AIAPS plugin on your final mix or master in your DAW.
Step 02
Run Protection
The plugin computes a robust spectral fingerprint from the sound itself and registers the track (with your artist, title, and policy) in the AIAPS registry, which returns an AIAPS ID. Nothing is written into the audio.
Step 03
Export
Export a bit-perfect copy of your master. The audio samples are copied through untouched; only the AIAPS ID and policy notice are written into the file's metadata (WAV INFO chunk, AIFF COMT chunk).
Step 04
Verify Anytime
Use AIAPS verification tools to confirm the recording by fingerprint lookup against the registry.
Section 02 - What You Get
What Your Track Carries
Your audio
01Exported as a bit-perfect copy, with samples identical to your master
02No watermark, no embedding, no alteration to the sound
What carries the protection
01Perceptual fingerprint derived from the audio (survives MP3, AAC, OGG compression)
02AIAPS ID (e.g. AIAPS-2026-000184) and AIAPS-PROTECTED notice written to file metadata (WAV INFO, AIFF COMT)
03Registry record with timestamp and ownership
Section 03 - Compliance
AIAPS v1.1 Compliance
The app implements the full AIAPS v1.1 specification.
Compliance requirements
01Generates an AIAPS-compliant fingerprint
02Registers the recording in the AIAPS registry
03Writes the AIAPS ID and policy notice to file metadata
04Exports a bit-perfect copy, with audio samples unchanged
05Supports the AIAPS verification workflow
06Preserves required protocol fields and policy information
Design principles
Untouched Audio
Protection is derived from your recording and written to metadata, never embedded in the audio. Your exported master is a bit-perfect copy, identical to the original samples.
Compression Resistant
The fingerprint is designed to survive lossy compression formats including MP3, AAC, and OGG.
Verifiable Record
Any protected recording can be verified by matching its fingerprint against the AIAPS registry and reading its AIAPS metadata.
