## What it is
Tenacity is an easy-to-use, cross-platform multi-track audio editor and recorder forked from Audacity, developed by volunteers as free and open-source software. This GitHub repository is the legacy codebase and is no longer maintained; active development has moved to Codeberg.

## Use cases
- record audio from real or virtual devices
- edit multi-track audio with arbitrary sampling rates
- import and export audio formats via FFmpeg
- apply VST, LV2, and AU audio plugins
- script audio processing with Nyquist or Python
- analyze audio signals with spectrograms and tools
- use an accessible audio editor with screen reader support

## When to choose
- you need a free, privacy-friendly Audacity alternative without telemetry
- you want multi-track audio editing and recording on Windows, macOS, or Linux
- you need FFmpeg-based format support and plugin extensibility

## When to avoid
- you want the actively maintained version - use tenacityteam/tenacity on Codeberg instead
- you need guaranteed bug fixes or new features from this legacy repo
- you require commercial support or a stable first release
