MP3 Audio Recorder
MP3 Audio Recorder is a simple audio recording utility for macOS that captures sound from the Mac's microphone and exports recordings in MP3 format. It is used by hobbyists, podcasters, and anyone needing a lightweight alternative to more complex digital audio workstations or system-level recording tools. The app sits in the menu bar and provides basic recording controls without extensive editing features.

1 suggestionWe could not confirm whether MP3 Audio Recorder has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. The last available compatibility information dates to December 2020 and indicated no testing had been done at that time — well before most developers released native builds. The vendor's site shows no recent activity, and no community sighting of a native build has been reported. Contact the developer (Seasoft) directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned before macOS 28 removes Rosetta 2 support in September 2028, as an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release. If you cannot reach the developer or no native version is forthcoming, consider switching to an actively maintained alternative such as Audacity (free, open-source, confirmed native support), Voice Memos (Apple's built-in app on every Mac), or Capo (a more feature-rich option on the Mac App Store).
