Video (427 programs)
Pros: Exports to MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, and ALAC. Converts at accelerated speeds, up to 10x playback rate. Handles AA/AAX audiobooks and podcast recording. Downloads music videos from YouTube, Dailymotion, and Vimeo.
Cons: Mac-only application, excludes Windows and Linux workflows. Occasional minor bugs reported during heavy processing. Open-tier conversions limited to the first minute of each track.
Pros: Writes DPI presets directly to the mouse sensor. Hardware-persistent webcam settings across video applications. Live preview that releases the camera immediately after use. Zero telemetry and no account required.
Cons: Requires quitting Logitech Options+ due to HID++ access conflict. Plain-text configuration demands comfort with textual editing. macOS 13 or later requirement limits older Macs. Designed for power users rather than casual point-and-click onboarding.
Pros: Supports recording from more than 15 streaming platforms in one interface. Exports to lossless formats including FLAC and ALAC. Batch conversion with up to 10X real-time speed for large libraries. Automatically preserves ID3 tags and artwork during conversion.
Cons: Trial version limits conversion to the first one minute of each song. Bypasses platform restrictions, creating legal and ethical considerations. Requires macOS 10.15 or later, so older Macs cannot run it.
Pros: Preserves HiFi and Master (MQA) audio quality. Exports to MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, and ALAC. Built-in web player option avoids needing the Tidal app. Batch conversion at up to 10X faster speed.
Cons: Requires a Tidal account (Free, HiFi, or HiFi Plus). Mac-only compatibility, no Windows version mentioned. Requires macOS 11 Big Sur or later.
Pros: Over 1,500 AI voices across 150+ languages. Real-time voice transformation with minimal latency. High-fidelity AI voice cloning capability. Web-based access for Mac users.
Cons: Learning curve reported for the interface. No native macOS desktop client available. Large voice library requires time to refine selections.
Pros: Preserves Hi‑Fi audio fidelity during conversion. Exports to MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, and ALAC. Built-in Deezer web player avoids installing the Deezer app. Batch conversion with ID3 tags and cover art retention.
Cons: Trial converts only the first minute and limits three files concurrently. Requires macOS 11 or newer, excluding older systems.
Pros: Internal codec set plays major and niche containers without extra setup. Optimized rendering and hardware acceleration for UHD and high-bitrate playback. Advanced subtitle engine supports complex styles and Ruby tags. Runs as a 64-bit app compatible with macOS 10.10 or later.
Cons: Mac build is more streamlined and lacks some legacy Windows features. Deep customization is tucked behind a minimalist interface, raising discovery time.
Pros: Real-time neural timbre transfer that preserves rhythm and pitch. Handcrafted library spanning traditional instruments to experimental textures. No-code cloud model training lets you create custom tone models.
Cons: Dependence on modern CPU power for optimal real-time performance. Model training is cloud-based, not local-only. Experimental timbres may not match conventional instrument realism.
Pros: Exports to MP4 and MKV while preserving multi-language audio and 5.1 tracks. Batch download mode can save full seasons in one operation. Hardware acceleration for H.264/H.265 improves download speed.
Cons: Bypasses streaming restrictions, raising provenance and rights considerations. 4K availability depends on source platform limits. Advanced subtitle and audio choices require deliberate user decisions.
Pros: Performs all transcription locally, keeping media on-device. Optimized for Apple Silicon using Core ML and Metal GPU paths. Exports to SRT, VTT, DOCX, PDF, TXT, CSV, JSON, and RTF. Supports transcription in over 99 languages and translations.
Cons: Speaker separation is beta and may require manual corrections. Requires macOS 13.3 or later, limiting older systems. Intel Mac support is available but less optimized than Apple Silicon.
Pros: Text-to-music creates full songs with vocals and instrumentation. Exports stems and MIDI for direct DAW integration. AI video creator produces storyboarded cinematic sequences.
Cons: High-end video export and stem separation gated by Gold credits. Reported transparency issues around access tiers and credits. Voice cloning requires uploading a vocal sample.
Pros: Separates vocals and instruments from audio and video files. Multimedia Tracks mode isolates dialogue, soundtrack, and effects. Optimized for Intel and Apple Silicon on macOS 14.0 or later. Desktop adds larger timeline and batch processing for multi-file sessions.
Cons: Requires active internet; heavy AI processing runs on cloud servers. Highest-fidelity AI models restricted to higher access tiers. Free access tier limits monthly uploads and basic separation.
