Tenacity is an easy-to-use multi-track audio editor and recorder for Windows, macOS, Linux and other operating systems. It is built on top of the widely popular Audacity and is being developed by a wide, diverse group of volunteers.
Are you coming from Audacium or Saucedacity? You're in the right place! We'd like to welcome all Audacium and Saucedacity users to Tenacity and our community. We've implemented new features from Audacity 3.1 to make editing easier. Additionally, we've preserved the themes of these two forks with only very slight modifications so they look better with our new editing features and slight track changes.
- Recording from audio devices (real or virtual)
- Export / Import a wide range of audio formats (extensible with FFmpeg)
- High quality including up to 32-bit float audio support
- Plug-ins providing support for VST, LV2, and AU plugins
- Scripting in the built-in scripting language Nyquist, or in Python, Perl and other languages with named pipes
- Editing arbitrary sampling and multi-track timeline
- Accessibility including editing via keyboard, screen reader support and narration support
- Tools useful in the analysis of signals, including audio
Our project initially started as a fork of Audacity as a result of multiple controversies and public relation crises, which you can find out more about here:
- Privacy policy which may violate the original project's GPL license
- Contributor's License Agreement (CLA) which may violate the same GPL license
- Attempts at adding telemetry using Google services for data collection
Nevertheless, the goal of this project is to pick up what the original developers of Audacity the decades-long work by the original creators of Audacity and create an audio editor that is fresh, more modern, convenient and practical to use, with the help and the guidance of our users and our community.

The latest official version of Audacity that does not implement telemetry is 3.0.2. Some Linux-based operating systems also ship Audacity with telemetry and networking features disabled by default.
Downloads for these versions can be found on the Audacity website. If you're looking for support regarding these versions, it may be worth consulting Audacity's forum or Audacity's wiki.
