About the startup
DesktopAudio records whatever your Mac is playing and saves it as an m4a on your Mac. Podcasts, live streams, webinars, calls: if you can hear it, you can keep it. Local always: local recording, local files, no cloud, no account. It never touches your microphone and never asks for mic permission. It's also the missing half of macOS screen recording: Cmd+Shift+5 captures video but no system audio. Run DesktopAudio alongside it and you have both. $19 one-time. No subscription.
