Active audio stays internal
An active CAF source file is never written directly to your selected destination. CAT keeps active audio and unfinished exports in its own Application Support working folder.
Safe recording and export
A destination problem does not have to stop your recording.
CAT separates the active recording from its final destination, preserving source material when an export cannot be delivered immediately.
The destination is checked first
Before recording, CAT verifies that the selected destination exists, is a folder and accepts a small write-and-remove test.
Delivery without partial files
A completed file is first transferred under a hidden temporary name and then renamed atomically. If delivery fails, the internal export remains available for another attempt.
In practice
Record, organize and deliver in one Mac app.
CAT combines a focused audio source with exports you can use directly in your own workflow.

Frequently asked questions
The short version.
What happens if my destination is unavailable?
A healthy recording can continue. The export remains pending until you change the destination or retry delivery.
Can I change the destination during a session?
Yes. The new folder applies to pending and future exports; files already delivered are not moved.
