Changelog

Buying from inside Aurio now gets you any current deal.

The Buy and Renew buttons apply a running discount for you on the way to the checkout, so you no longer need to know the code.

Lighter on your Mac.

Aurio now uses almost no processing power while it sits in the menu bar and no app is using Aurio Microphone.

Security fixes and an easier setup. Restart your Mac once after updating.

Changing Aurio’s driver now asks for an administrator password, and Aurio Microphone works only for the person signed in at the screen.

Two apps can record from Aurio Microphone at once again. Aurio no longer gets stuck on “Recovering…” after a macOS update, and setting it up or reinstalling it no longer needs a restart.

Everyone gets this one, including anyone whose year of updates has run out.

Steadier audio, and quieter switching.

Aurio Microphone could occasionally drop a few milliseconds of sound mid-call. It no longer does, and it now runs a little closer to your real mic.

Turning Noise Removal on or off no longer clicks or briefly goes silent.

Two small fixes.

The microphone menu had shrunk to the width of whichever device was selected. It fills the panel again, in the popover and during setup.

Your trial now says “1 day left” instead of “1 days left”.

A security fix.

This release tightens how Aurio installs and updates the parts of itself that run with administrator privileges. Nothing changes in day-to-day use.

Everyone gets this one, including anyone whose year of updates has run out.

Record for as long as you need, and stop when you’re ready.

The preview used to stop itself after five seconds, often mid-sentence. It now records for up to fifteen and you end it yourself, with a Cancel button for when you’d rather start over.

Aurio also tells you when it didn’t hear anything, instead of handing back a preview that played perfectly and sounded like silence.

Starting a trial no longer asks for an email address.

1.0.1 made the address optional on the first-run screen, but the same field in Settings still required one. Both are gone. Your trial is tied to your Mac, so there is nothing to give and nothing to verify: open Aurio and press Start.

Aurio collects no email address for trials at all.

Two fixes to how trials are tied to your Mac.

Updating macOS no longer ends your trial. Aurio now recognises your Mac by its hardware alone, which a system update doesn’t change.

An email address is now optional when you start a trial. Aurio never sends you email; give one only if you’d like support to be able to find your trial.

Aurio’s first public release.

Aurio adds a virtual microphone to macOS that removes background noise from your voice in real time. Pick “Aurio Microphone” once in Zoom, Meet, Slack, OBS or any recorder, and every app hears the cleaned signal.

Denoising runs entirely on your Mac and works offline, so your audio is never uploaded. Aurio goes online only to check for updates and your licence, and crash reporting stays off unless you turn it on.

There’s a switch, a strength slider and a microphone picker, and nothing else to set up. The model is small enough for live calls on Apple silicon, and with denoising off your audio passes through untouched.

Aurio is free for 14 days, then $40 a year: you keep the app for good, plus a year of updates. Security releases are offered either way.

Signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple. Requires macOS 13.3 or later on an Apple silicon Mac.
