In one line

Porchlight is an eight-track tape recorder for the Mac.

In a paragraph

Porchlight is a small Mac recording app that Denver songwriter Dave Hawkins made for his own writing. It looks and works like a home tape machine from the seventies: eight tracks, bouncing when they fill up, a Speed knob that moves pitch and tone together, half-speed and backwards recording, a Drive knob on each track, and four slots for Audio Unit effects. Sessions are folders of ordinary audio files. It costs $29 once, every update is free, and there's a trial of 14 days of use. macOS 15 or later, Apple silicon and Intel.
