About
Record the audio your Mac is playing — the whole system or a single app — straight to a clean file. No cables, no loopback driver, no “Stereo Mix” hacks.
GREAT FOR
• Saving a podcast, interview, or webinar as it plays
• Capturing a video call for notes (with everyone's consent)
• Grabbing audio from a stream, game, or app that has no download
• Ripping just one app's sound while everything else keeps playing
Your audio keeps playing normally through your speakers while Sonance Recorder writes a pristine copy in the background. Built on Core Audio process taps (macOS 14.4+) — driverless and reboot-free.
