Porchlight 8-track tape recorder

Download Porchlight

Your download should start in a moment. If it doesn't, download it here.

  1. Open Porchlight.dmg from your Downloads folder.
  2. Drag Porchlight into Applications.
  3. Open Porchlight from Applications. The first time, macOS asks if it can use your microphone: say yes, so it can record.

How the trial works

Everything works during the trial. It lasts 14 days of use, and Porchlight only counts a day when you open it, so if you try it on a Sunday and come back two weeks later, you've used one day.

When the trial is over, your sessions still open and play. Recording, bouncing and exporting wait for a license, which is $29, once, with every update free. Paste the key into Porchlight > License and carry on where you left off.

Buy Porchlight, $29

What you need

A Mac with macOS 15 or later, Apple silicon or Intel. Your Mac's microphone works; any audio interface your Mac can see works too.
