Hey everyone, after many years of some of the best sounds disappearing when I’m not recording, I finally got some friends together and built a lightweight utility. GhostTape sits in the background and just catches everything.https://type9.cc/ghosttape (https://type9.cc/ghosttape)
It’s basically a circular buffer that you can set from 1 to 60 minutes. It lives in your RAM, so it’s not thrashing your SSD. If you hear something you want to keep, just pull up the window, highlight the waveform, and drag it right into your DAW. It only writes a file to your disk once you decide you actually want to save it.
- Pick your source: Grab discrete audio from specific apps, hardware inputs, or your whole system.
- Haunt mode: If you unplug your interface or close an app, it just pauses. As soon as that source is back, it resumes automatically. You don’t even have to think about it.
- Unlimited sources: Limited only by your RAM.
- Pro-ready: Full support for hardware interfaces (mono/stereo).
- Built for macOS: Universal Binary (Apple Silicon + Intel), macOS 13+.
- It’s $10. One-time purchase, all future updates included.
- There’s a 14-day free trial (no CC needed) so you can test it out. Also: no "phone home," no telemetry, no accounts.
