Piezo is a lightweight audio recording utility from Rogue Amoeba that captures sound from any input device or application on your Mac. Unlike macOS's built-in recording tools, Piezo offers quick access to multiple quality presets, flexible file saving options, and deep integration with the system. It is commonly used by podcasters, musicians, voice-over artists, and anyone who needs to record audio from a microphone, line input, or even internal system audio. The app sits in the menu bar for convenient one-click access and keeps recordings organized and immediately available.

1 suggestionPiezo is compatible with Apple Silicon and is built as a Universal Binary. The Audio Capture Engine (ACE) was updated to version 11.6 to offer full compatibility with M-series Macs, and Piezo continues to receive updates for the latest macOS versions. If you are still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, you can update to the latest version from Rogue Amoeba's website or directly through the app's built-in update mechanism to get native Apple Silicon performance.
