| The verdict | Mac capture of any app audio, the usual backup tape for Zoom and browser interviews. |
| Free tier | No free tier listed. A trial may be available. |
| Best for | Mac hosts who record Zoom or a browser guest locally, and want their mic on one file and the call on another. |
| Not the best fit | Windows users, or anyone who wanted a guest to click a studio link with no Mac app on your side. |
| The gotcha | It is Mac only, and the trial overlays noise after ten minutes that you cannot strip later. |
