Piezo is a sound recording and capture application for macOS developed by Rogue Amoeba. It captures system audio—music, calls, podcasts, streams from websites—and saves them as high-quality audio files in formats like MP3, AAC, and FLAC. Piezo sits unobtrusively in the menu bar, making it useful for users who want to record audio output from their Mac without complex routing. The app is commonly used by podcast listeners archiving shows, musicians capturing live streams, and anyone who needs to preserve audio that isn't easily downloadable elsewhere. Piezo supports automatic file naming, scheduling, and integration with other macOS audio applications.

1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of Piezo has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. Anyone still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update to the latest version to gain better performance and battery efficiency on M-series Macs. Download the current build from Rogue Amoeba's website—the page will automatically serve the native version to your Mac. Your existing preferences and saved recordings will carry over without issue.
