Record Audio from the Past on Mac
Backtrack is an always-on recording Mac app that listens to your conversations all the time. I know, that sounds creepy, but hear me out. The app stores the audio for the past hour and rewrites it every hour. Hence, it will have the audio recording of the past 60 minutes at any given moment. You can then rewind and access the recording for the duration you need.
Getting started with Backtrack is fairly straightforward. After installing the app, you can drag the icon down from the top menubar to seek backward. The app will then save the audio file of the selected duration to your Mac’s desktop.
For those worried about privacy (as you rightfully should), the developers of Backtrack promise that everything happens locally on your Mac. Your audio recordings don’t leave your device and are not synced to the cloud.
If you’re interested in giving it a shot, you can use the link below to download Backtrack from Mac App Store.
