Automatic export capture
- Mixhaus
- Watches selected export folders and captures new versions in the background.
- Samply
- Review usually starts once audio is uploaded, so export capture still depends on your existing hand off.

Updated
Mixhaus and Samply at a glance.
The Mixhaus workflow
Mixhaus combines automatic watched folder capture, organised version history, client review without an account, timestamped feedback, synchronized A/B playback, explicit approval for each version, and final delivery in one active project.
The Samply workflow
Both products provide lossless review, organised versions, timed comments, password protection, and listener activity. The main difference is where the workflow begins: files are added to Samply, while Mixhaus can capture supported exports from watched folders automatically and carry them through approval and final delivery.
