Record audio on Mac

Record one Mac app without capturing the rest of your computer.

01

One active app as the audio source

Select an active Mac app as the source and start recording. CAT shows the level and keeps track of the current session while the source continues playing.

02

Record to a safe working folder

An active recording is first stored in the internal CAT working folder. Only after an export is complete is the finished file moved to the destination you selected.

03

Files you can use immediately

Choose M4A/AAC or MP3 and set the preferred bitrate. CAT delivers completed files with recognizable names to the folder you select.
