KIBA lives in your menu bar and samples anything your Mac plays in one click. No BlackHole, no Multi-Output Device, no 14-minute tutorial narrated by a man in a gaming headset.
A simulation of the real app. The video and the beat are made in your browser; nothing is recorded from your Mac. We’re sneaky, not creepy.
Every other way to sample your Mac involves a virtual audio driver, rerouting your output and a small blood sacrifice to Audio MIDI Setup. KIBA involves clicking.
Click the icon in the menu bar. It records whatever your Mac is playing. Click again. Congratulations, that was the whole tutorial.
The trimmer drops down under the menu bar with the silence already gone and the tempo and key already found. Pinch to zoom, nudge the edges, done.
Drag the waveform straight into Ableton, Logic, FL Studio, Bitwig or the Finder. Your DAW won’t even know you left.
Open the disk image and drag KIBA into Applications. That’s the entire install. We checked.
macOS asks to let KIBA hear your Mac. Apple calls it Screen & System Audio Recording. KIBA records sound only. Your screen is safe, whatever’s on it.
The ring in your menu bar is KIBA. Click it. Go make something questionable.
Try everything free for 7 days. Then pay once. No subscription, because a sampler is not a streaming service.
Up to 3 Macs. Free updates for version 1. About the price of a sandwich, and it lasts longer.
Secure checkout by Lemon Squeezy. Your license key arrives by email. Refunds within 14 days, no questions. We’ll be sad. Quietly. In the menu bar.
Download KIBA and use everything for 7 days, no card needed. When the week is up, KIBA asks for a license key. Buy it and paste the key from your email. Your samples and settings stay exactly where they are.
No. KIBA is a menu bar app, so it hears your whole Mac, not just one track, and works next to any DAW. You drag your samples in.
Not for this. KIBA uses the audio capture built into macOS, so there’s nothing to install, route or remember to switch back. BlackHole is free and great at routing. KIBA is great at one thing: getting a sound into your session.
Audio Hijack is excellent, costs $69, and is built for podcasts, streams and complicated setups. If you want a sample in your DAW, KIBA does exactly that for $8.99 and doesn’t make you build a session first.
Apple's permission for capturing system audio is called Screen & System Audio Recording. KIBA only records sound.
Yes, on up to 3 Macs at once. To move KIBA, open Settings › Uninstall on the old Mac. That frees the license for the new one.
Yes. KIBA only goes online once, to check your license key when you activate it, and briefly about once a week after that.
That depends on who owns the original, not on us. Clear anything you didn’t make yourself. KIBA has fangs, not lawyers.
Because it does one thing. Also, the less time you spend on this pricing decision, the more time you spend making music. You’re welcome.
No. It will make your music have more samples in it. What happens after that is between you and your mix bus.
Email us and an actual human replies within a day or two. Usually holding coffee.
Nothing. KIBA has no analytics, no tracking and no account. Audio you record is saved only to the folder you choose on your Mac.
Buying KIBA gives you a personal license to use it on up to 3 Macs you own or use. You may not resell or share your license key.
KIBA is a recording tool. You are responsible for having the rights to anything you record and release.
If KIBA isn't right for you, ask for a refund within 14 days of purchase. Refunded keys stop working.
KIBA is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, to the extent the law allows.
