QTAir
QTAir is a macOS utility for recording audio from a selected app, with optional microphone capture and scheduled recording tools.
What is QTAir?
QTAir is a native macOS audio recording utility that lets you capture sound from a selected application instead of recording your whole system at once. It is designed for people who want focused recordings from a specific app, such as a browser stream, media source, or other audio-producing software. The app also supports microphone recording, so you can save app audio together with voice input when needed. Scheduled recording is available for users who want recordings to start automatically at a chosen time. QTAir supports multiple output formats including AAC, M4A, AIFF, and WAV, making it useful for archiving, note-taking, reference capture, and simple audio workflows on Mac. It is published by Macfeeling and requires macOS 13 or later.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
QTAir is a legitimate Mac audio-recording utility. It may request normal permissions needed for recording, such as microphone access, and recording-related access is expected for its purpose. Because it captures audio content, use it thoughtfully around private calls, meetings, or copyrighted material, and review your macOS privacy settings if you no longer want it to access recording sources.
Recommendation: Keep QTAir if you use it to record audio from specific apps or schedule recordings on your Mac. If you do not use those features, you can remove it without affecting macOS, though any saved settings or app-specific recording workflows may be lost.
