WavTap
WavTap is a macOS utility that captures audio output from any application running on your Mac without affecting the original sound routing. It acts as a virtual audio cable, allowing users to record system audio, redirect application output to other apps, or create complex audio routing scenarios. It is commonly used by podcasters, streamers, musicians, and audio engineers who need to capture application audio separately from system audio for mixing, recording, or live broadcast purposes.

1 suggestionWe could not find current information about WavTap's Apple Silicon support status or development status from the available search results. If you rely on this app, contact the developer directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned. This is important because Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), and an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release. Given that today is May 2026, you have roughly two years to plan your transition. If WavTap does not have a native build available or coming soon, consider exploring alternatives like Loopback by Rogue Amoeba (which offers advanced audio routing with confirmed native Apple Silicon support and a more mature development history), or BlackHole (a free, open-source virtual audio device that runs natively on Apple Silicon and covers basic audio routing scenarios, though with a more minimal feature set).
