I felt this was something I could make flow more logically.Ī Brighter, More Kinetic App: Audio Hijack 3 had a somewhat muted look, and I wanted to brighten the new version. The list of saved sessions serves as the starting point for the app, and I wanted to improve that window by showing more details about sessions, as well as allowing the user to access basic controls without having to open them.īetter Navigation: In the previous version of Audio Hijack, a session’s recordings and timers were kept in a separate window, rather than being closely tied to each session. I wanted to make the rest of the interface deferential to each session’s audio grid.Ī More Functional Sessions List: Audio Hijack sessions are reusable and saved automatically. Audio Hijack’s critical functionality is found in the custom setups called sessions, which users create to capture and manipulate audio. Less Visual Clutter: While I loved design of Audio Hijack 3, fantastically executed by Rogue Amoeba’s previous designer Christa, I felt it could be made cleaner and simpler. However, I knew there were places we could improve. Audio Hijack 3 was originally released in 2015, and it provided a great foundation. When considering what to do for the new version, I worked out some clear design goals. Now that it’s out, I can take you behind the scenes and show you how we went from design goals and sketches to a polished app. Without a doubt, this was the biggest design project I’ve tackled as Rogue Amoeba’s designer, and probably in my entire career.

In addition to over 100 new features, Audio Hijack 4 also includes an overhauled design.
