Audio Hijack

Audio Hijack captures any sound that can be heard on a macOS computer, allowing users to record audio from individual applications, web browsers, VoIP services, microphones, mixers, or the entire system. The software provides blocks for selecting a source—such as Safari, Zoom, or FaceTime—and then recording the output directly to a file. It can also route captured audio through processing elements like volume boosters and compressors before saving or streaming.

Target users include podcasters, content creators, and anyone who needs to archive streaming media, online radio, or remote conversation audio. The tool supports recording of web streams for offline listening, easy capture of VoIP calls, and integration with other Rogue Amoeba utilities for advanced routing and live broadcasting.

Distinctive features are a visual block‑based workflow for assembling capture and processing chains, a “System Audio” source that records everything playing on the Mac, and built‑in audio enhancement blocks such as Magic Boost. These capabilities enable both simple recordings and more complex audio manipulation without leaving the macOS environment.
