Home Rec captures your Mac's audio output as a lossless WAV — no drivers, no routing tricks, no setup. One click from the menu bar.
Home Rec lives in your menu bar and stays running when you close the window. One click opens a compact popover — waveform, timer, record button. Trigger a recording without switching focus.
48kHz stereo PCM. No compression. No codec artifacts. Whatever goes in comes out exactly as it sounded — ready for Ableton, Logic Pro, any DAW, any audio editor, no questions asked.
Real-time amplitude visualization confirms audio is actually flowing — not just a blinking dot. The waveform appears in both the popover and the main window so you always know signal is good.
No virtual audio drivers. No loopback routing. No Audio MIDI Setup. Grant the Screen Recording permission once — and that's it. Works on Apple Silicon and Intel without any configuration.
Open Spotify, SoundCloud, Ableton, YouTube, Splice — whatever you're working with. Home Rec captures whatever your Mac is currently outputting.
Hit the red button in the menu bar popover or the main window. Recording starts immediately. The live timer and waveform confirm audio is flowing.
Click Stop. Your WAV file lands on the Desktop with a timestamp filename. Click "Reveal in Finder" and drag it wherever you need it.
Per-application audio capture built for DJs, producers, and beatmakers. Record Ableton without catching your Slack notifications. Capture a Splice preview without pulling in everything else. Finally.
Home Rec is free to download and use, forever. If it saves you time, helps you make music, or just makes your Mac feel better — throw a few dollars our way. Starting at $5, no ceiling.
