   An essential tool for podcast or video producers who work with audio.

   Once you figure out how to use it, it is very easy to capture any audio coming out of your speakers. It is nice to be able to isolate the audio captured to only record from a specific app. So if you are trying to capture audio from a browser, and a notification from your messages app comes in, the notification "chime" from the messages will not be captured and you'll get a clean capture only from the browser (or other app you might specify). You can also capture from two different sources and mix the levels in real time as you capture. So you can record a zoom call and also record music you might play in a separate app, and adjust the mix to your liking.

• When a Bug Saved the Company

  It's very "Mac ecosystem" from multiple directions: a paid-for tool that is often free on other platforms, but also a paid-for tool that provides a very nice UX with easier customizability and features than a "small utility/script". (I don't use Audio Hijack, nor am I in the market for anything like it. But it's obvious from the product page[1] that it's a nice piece of software. I also know that several... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Ask HN: Is anyone making money selling traditional downloadable software?

  I don't know if they're making money, but they're charging money and I'm paying it. a) Audio Hijack [1] - software that should be part of macOS where you can route the audio output of any program to the audio input of any other program. b) Eazy Draw [2] - I have clients with massive legacy libraries of commercial AppleWorks drawings, and EazyDraw is the only product I could find that would open/convert them. I... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• EQ Mac audio INPUT?

  This is the basic idea, but there are other apps which can make it easier. I prefer using Audio Hijack for the EQ part and sending it to a pass-through device set up in Loopback (which, for this use case, functions the same as BlackHole). Source: over 2 years ago

• Upgrading my gear, need some advice for recording multiple people

  - Audio Hijack (also by Rogue Ameba) so I can record myself, the soundboard, and QuickTime all to individual .aiff files. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Why does Mac doesn't record internal audio?

• Short-Circuit Your Agent Evals: Tier Order Is a Latency Budget, Not a Preference

  This is why the gate needs a trace it can trust, and why AgentLens is the other half of this workflow. agent-eval scores and gates the output; AgentLens captures the trace of how the agent got there — every model call and tool step, the resolved inputs (not the templated ones), the raw outputs. That trace is exactly the unforgeable, agent-didn't-author substrate that Tier 1+2 need to score against. Without it,... - Source: dev.to / 4 days ago

• Troubleshooting Git Authentication: Fixing "Repository Not Found" on Private Repositories

  Conclusion Next time Git insists a private repository doesn't exist, skip editing your config file and head straight to the Windows Credential Manager. Wiping out the stale git:https://github.com entry forces a clean handshake, getting you back to coding in less than a minute. - Source: dev.to / 14 days ago

• My homelab stack in 2026: what runs, why, and how it all connects

  Gitea is where all private repositories live: infra configs, personal projects, anything I don't want on a third-party server. Public projects still go to GitHub because that's where the audience is, but a number of those GitHub repositories are mirrored back to Gitea as a local backup. The split is simple: Gitea for control and resilience, GitHub for reach. - Source: dev.to / 15 days ago
