Questions, answered tersely.

If yours isn't here, drop an email and I'll add it.

No. REKALL only reads your .als files but never writes to them. Tags, notes, etc., all live in REKALL's own database. The files on disk are not affected.

REKALL can effectively read all live sets from version 9 of Ableton Live onwards.

Not today. The whole app is Ableton-specific. With that said, if there's enought interested, I'm open to make it happen.

No. REKALL is a closed-source commercial app. Your library data stays on your machine! Nothing is sent anywhere, but the code itself isn't public.
