The verdict
Audio Hijack records the sound coming from any app on your Mac, a microphone, or everything at once. You pick Safari, Zoom or a music player as the source, add effects such as a compressor or volume boost, and hit record. It also handles podcast production and live streaming, and it can create a transcript on your Mac with no ongoing charges.
Get it if
You record podcasts, calls or app audio on your Mac and want one tool that captures all of it.
Skip it if
You only need to record your own voice now and then. QuickTime Player does that for free.
What it helps you do
- Record audio from Safari or Zoom
- Capture all system audio at once
- Add effects to a mic before recording
- Create a local transcript of a recording
