StreamWriter Studio

StreamWriter Studio — your personal radio recorder for macOS

Remember taping songs off the radio? StreamWriter Studio brings that back — except now it's automatic, in high quality, and every song lands in your library perfectly organized.

Set it and forget it

Pick a station, hit record, and walk away. StreamWriter Studio listens to the stream, detects where one song ends and the next begins, and saves each track as its own file. Station jingles and short clips are filtered out automatically, so only real music makes it into your library. Every recording gets ID3 tags — title, artist, album — plus album artwork, without you lifting a finger.

60,000+ stations, and a fun way to find them

Search a worldwide directory of over 60,000 internet radio stations, sortable by country, bitrate, and codec. Feeling adventurous? Spin an interactive 3D satellite globe and tap any glowing dot to start listening — radio.garden style. Or hit Shuffle to drop into a random station from any genre: Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Electronic, Classical and more. Got a favorite station that isn't listed? Add it manually with its stream URL.

Quality you control

Choose lossless recording for maximum fidelity, or a space-saving mode for long unattended sessions. Fine-tune lead-in and lead-out timing and jingle filtering globally — or per station, because every broadcaster talks over intros a little differently.

A real music library, not a folder of files

Play your recordings right in the app with a full-featured player and AirPlay support. Trim any track in the built-in waveform editor, complete with fade-in and fade-out. Fix tags, rename tracks, sort everything into playlists, and mark favorites. When you're happy, add your recordings to your Apple Music library with a single click.

Built for modern Macs

A native, universal macOS app — fast on Apple Silicon and Intel alike, with full light and dark mode support. Available in English and German.

Whether you want to rediscover radio, build a personal music collection from stations you love, or simply never miss a favorite show again — StreamWriter Studio does the tedious part for you.

System requirements: macOS 14.6 or later · Apple Silicon & Intel (Universal)
