Zrythm is a free, cross-platform digital audio workstation (DAW) for recording, editing, mixing, and producing music with audio and MIDI. It is written in C++23 using Qt/QML and JUCE, and supports major plugin formats like VST3, CLAP, LV2, LADSPA, and AudioUnit.

Use cases

record and edit audio and MIDI tracks
compose music with a piano roll and chord assistance
mix and automate tracks in a DAW
host VST3, CLAP, LV2, and AudioUnit plugins
produce music on Linux, macOS, or Windows
time-stretch and loop audio clips

When to choose

you want a free, open-source DAW with auditable source code
you need broad plugin format support including CLAP and LV2
you want strong automation, chord tools, and MIDI editing features
you work cross-platform, especially on Linux

When to avoid

you need the full v1 feature set today, as v2 is still porting features like clip linking, stem export, and plugin sandboxing
you prefer a proprietary, commercially supported DAW with a large ecosystem
you need VST2, DSSI, or SFZ/SF2 support in the current v2 release
