About Audio Hijack
Audio Hijack is a Mac application by Rogue Amoeba that captures and records any audio playing on a Mac — from apps like Zoom, Safari, or FaceTime — as well as microphone and hardware inputs.

Practical use cases include recording VoIP calls, podcasting, capturing web radio, and live broadcasting.
