Overview
About Audio Hijack
Audio Hijack lets you capture audio from applications, web streams, VoIP calls, and microphones on macOS using a flexible session builder. Instead of relying on one-click recordings only, you can chain processing blocks, route sources, schedule captures, and save output formats for different workflows. It is widely used for podcast production, interview capture, and archival recording where dependable routing and repeatable setups matter.
Audience

Audio Hijack is built for podcasters, streamers, journalists, educators, and power users who need reliable Mac audio capture with more control than basic recorder apps.
