Piezo from Rogue Amoeba is one of those simple, easy to use apps that once you start playing with, you’ll think how did you live without it?!

When activated, Piezo will record audio from any application providing some sort of sound. Some apps require a restart, but that’s quick enough.

There are simply two buttons on the app, record and settings. You can literally launch the app and start recording!

You can record from a microphone if you want to make quick voice memos but more importantly, you can choose to record specific applications. Spotify (rightly or wrongly…), Skype (make sure you tell them you’re recording!), Safari and pretty much any other app!

Catch live radio or live streams like the good ol’ days when you used to rush to get a cassette ready and hit record+play ready to go!

As an old user of Audio Hijack Pro, I find Piezo a great replacement making things even easier. A great little app that I’d recommend to anyone at this great price!

Piezo is available in the Mac App Store (£6.99 UK / $9.99 US)
