About these downloads

System requirements

Audacity is tested on macOS 14 & 15, and may also work on any macOS release from macOS 10.11 El Capitan onward. Both Intel (x86_64) and Apple Silicon (ARM 64) versions are available, as well as a universal binary. There are no specific CPU or GPU requirements.

macOS 10.14 and earlier don't support the universal dmg. Use the Intel-only dmg instead.

Note: Audacity requires fast, uninterrupted access to a hard drive or SSD to operate. Network storage, consumer-grade external hard drives or USB thumbdrives may be unreliable.
