Official Implementation
Early AccessThe AIAPS Plugin
The AIAPS Plugin fingerprints, watermarks, and registers your recordings with the AIAPS registry, producing a timestamped, verifiable declaration that your work is not authorized for AI training.
Standalone macOS app, AU, and VST3. All processing runs locally; 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 analyzes your audio, generates a perceptual fingerprint, registers the track in the AIAPS registry, and embeds an inaudible watermark.
Step 03
Export
Export your AIAPS-protected file. The embedded watermark and metadata notice travel with the audio.
Step 04
Verify Anytime
Use AIAPS verification tools to confirm the recording by fingerprint lookup or watermark decoding.
Section 02 — What You Get
What Your Track Carries
Inside the audio
01Inaudible AIAPS watermark (encodes AIAPS ID + NO_AI_TRAINING policy)
02Preserved in lossless distribution formats (WAV, FLAC, AIFF)
Outside the audio
01Perceptual fingerprint (survives MP3, AAC, OGG compression)
02AIAPS ID (e.g. AIAPS-2026-000184)
03Registry record with timestamp and ownership
04AIAPS-PROTECTED notice written to file metadata tags
Section 03 — Compliance
AIAPS v1.0 Compliance

01Generates an AIAPS-compliant fingerprint
02Embeds an AIAPS-compliant watermark
03Registers the recording in the AIAPS registry
04Supports AIAPS verification workflow
05Preserves required protocol fields and policy information
Design principles
Inaudible Protection
The watermark is embedded at imperceptible levels. The audible characteristics of the recording are preserved.
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 checking its fingerprint against the AIAPS registry and decoding the embedded watermark.
