Piezo
Piezo is a Rogue Amoeba audio recording app for macOS that captures sound from apps, microphones, and selected voice chat sources.
What is Piezo?
Piezo is a macOS audio recording utility published by Rogue Amoeba Software, Inc. It is designed to record audio from individual applications on a Mac as well as from audio input devices such as microphones. The app is commonly used to capture streaming audio, app playback, interviews, voice chats, and simple podcast material without setting up a full multitrack recording workflow. Rogue Amoeba documents support for recording from many VoIP and communication apps, and the app includes controls for recording quality, clip naming, comments, and file handling. Users may encounter it as a standalone recording tool or alongside other Rogue Amoeba audio products for broader capture and routing tasks. It is a legitimate commercial app, not a system component, and any related files are typically user-level app data created by normal use.
