Meet Rabbit, the REAPER Accessibility Bootstrap & Bundle Installation Tool, your one and only tool to keep REAPER and all its extensions up to date. Rabbit does make sure to update REAPER, OSARA, SWS, ReaPack, ReaKontrol, JAWS Scripts and FFMpeg on Windows and Mac, no matter if ARM or x64. It comes as a single executable that you can run and forget whenever you want. For nerds it also contains a CLI application that can be used to automate mass installations etc. https://github.com/Timtam/rabbit/releases/tag/v0.1.0

    Rabbit is just getting started. I'm planning to add support for other scripts, e.g. scripts that are known to be particularly helpful for blind and VI people working with REAPER, and more. Disclaimer: the app was developed by professional software developer with more than 15 years of experience under their belt, but with the help of AI to speed up the development process. If AI conflicts with your oppinions and views, feel free to skip RABBIT alltogether.

    @ToniBarth@troet.cafe Does it manage a REAPER-specific instance of FFmpeg and leave the other one(s) on my system alone?

    @ToniBarth@troet.cafe Hey Tony. Would you consider using universal binary for Mac OS rather than separate architecture-based binaries? I think the naming may be super-confusing for beginners in the “assets” section. I ran the "open me first” and, even though it claimed the removal of “gatekeeper" restrictions, they were actually not removed for me. I am on Mac OS 26.4.1.

  • @ToniBarth Can I run this without having any of them installed and will it install them for me? Or do I need to have them set up initially, and it will just upgrade. On Windows that is.

    @ToniBarth@troet.cafe Worked beautifully on Mac here, though in my case all it did was update OSARA and install Reakontrol which I meant to do for ages so can't comment on SWS or reapack. It did detect them and added your reapack repo no problem though.

    @ToniBarth@troet.cafe @fubsepude@mhh.fedihost.io Wow that's really cool, I like that! The number of times I'm just too unmotivated to manually download reaper, manually download osara... Ugh. Thanks a ton!

    @ToniBarth@troet.cafe I'm having a bit of an issue with Rabbit on my mac. SWS, reapack, and reacontrol don't show up in my reaper extensions menu, due to the fact that rabbit installs the x64 versions on my computer, but my computers are both apple cilikon. Is there any way to fix this in a later version? You could add the ability in rabbit for the user to choose which versions of these components they want/need.
