AMS — Audio Management System

AMS is a lightweight command-line tool that scans your file system for audio production project files. From your current working directory, AMS recursively searches for Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, Cubase, and Reaper sessions—then returns them sorted from most recent → oldest with fast paging and simple commands.
