Audio Hijack

Mac app that records audio from any app, input or call

Records whatever a Mac is playing: a browser tab, a video call, a microphone, or several at once with each on its own track. You build a session as a chain of blocks, so a podcast recording can capture the local microphone separately from the remote guest and process either one on the way through. Podcasters run it alongside the call software, which leaves them a local file if the call falls over. None of it caters to beginners. The block model takes a session or two to click.
