Desktop Sync
Islands on your disk.
Open in any editor.
Relive Desktop Sync pulls selected Islands into local folders — Dropbox-simple, moment-organized — so video, music, and social workflows use the files they already understand.
Built for creatives
Your NLE doesn’t speak cloud albums.
It speaks folders.
Editors, producers, and social teams already live in Premiere, Resolve, Ableton, and CapCut. Sync meets them there — no new importer, no waiting on a proprietary browser download.
System-native, not siloed
Sync writes real folders on Mac, Windows, and Linux — the same way Dropbox does. Every creative app already knows how to open a folder.
Organized by moments
Clips sort into moment folders on the timeline. Unassigned media lands in _unsorted so you never dig through a flat dump.
Idempotent sync
Add, move, and remove without duplicates. Change a naming template and files relocate — they don’t re-download.
HQ when you need it
Pull compressed copies for speed, or originals for finishing. Switch quality and the next sync refreshes cleanly.
How it works
Selective sync.
Not “download everything.”
- 1
Pick your Islands
Search system events, private Islands you own, or ones you’re a member of. Nothing downloads until you add it and turn sync on.
- 2
Folders appear on disk
Media lands under ~/Relive — one folder per Island, subfolders by moment. Naming is yours to customize locally.
- 3
Open in any app
Point Premiere, DaVinci, Ableton, or anything else at the folder. No plugin. No proprietary lock-in. Just files.

Works with your stack
If it can open a folder, it can use Relive Sync.
System-based sync means zero integrations to maintain. Drop media into a project, proxy it, or drag clips onto a timeline — same as any other drive.
Why not just zip export?
Always current. Always structured.
| Workflow | Manual export | Relive Sync |
|---|---|---|
| New clips appear | Re-export every time | Pulls automatically |
| Organization | One flat zip | Island → moment folders |
| Duplicates | Easy to re-download | UUID-keyed, idempotent |
| Editor access | Unpack, rename, hunt | Open the folder |
| Quality | Whatever you exported | Compressed or HQ originals |
Put the room on your timeline.
Collect the night in Relive. Sync the Island to your machine. Finish in the tools you already trust.
