Introducing aCapture — Multi-Source Audio Recording for macOS

Hi everyone, Some of you may already know app-suite.eu through agram or aScan. I'm happy to introduce the latest addition: aCapture, a menu bar utility for macOS that lets you record audio from multiple sources simultaneously — apps, system audio, microphones, audio interfaces, and even an iPhone or iPad over USB. Why I built this As a blind developer and podcast hobbyist, I got frustrated with the state of audio recording on macOS. Most tools require visual-heavy setups with virtual audio devices, complex routing, or interfaces that simply don't work with VoiceOver. I wanted something I could operate entirely from the keyboard — pick your sources, hit a shortcut, and record. What it does * Record any number of apps at once, each to its own file or mixed into one * Capture system audio, VoiceOver speech (with live toggle), multiple USB mics, and audio interface inputs * Real-time audio mixer with per-source gain and VU metering * Soundboard with 8 trigger pads and keyboard shortcuts * AI transcription running entirely on-device — with speaker diarization and VTT/SRT export * Session presets to save and restore your entire setup * Drop markers during recording for quick navigation in post-production * Export to M4A, WAV, or MP3 * Pro tier adds: live streaming to Icecast, RTMP, and Twitch with full chat integration, real-time stats, auto-reconnect, and video broadcasting Accessibility This is the part I care about most. Like agram and aScan, aCapture was designed for VoiceOver from day one — not retrofitted after the fact: * Every control, toggle, and state change is announced * Audio tones confirm recording start/stop and VoiceOver capture toggle (different pitches so you always know which event just happened) * Global hotkeys: Control+Shift+Command+R to record, +C for config, +V to toggle VoiceOver capture mid-recording * The entire interface is navigable with the keyboard — no mouse needed, ever * VoiceOver capture can be toggled during recording without stopping, so you can choose whether screen reader output ends up in your files Pricing * 14-day free trial, all features unlocked, no credit card * Standard: €19.99 one-time (recording, mixer, soundboard, transcription, presets, markers) * Pro: €34.99 one-time (adds streaming, Twitch, and video) * Standard owners can upgrade to Pro for €15 Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Available at https://app-suite.eu/acapture I use aCapture daily and I'm actively developing it, so I'd genuinely love your feedback — what works, what doesn't, what's missing. If you run into any VoiceOver issues, that's a bug, not a limitation, and I'll fix it. Want to know more and start your free trial? head to the official site Happy to answer any questions here.
