Audacity went down the toilet when a company bought them out, but fortunately a community fork was made called Tenacity and they are on the Fediverse at @tenacity

@iamgerardthomas

You can still buy standalone, but from now on some of the features will be subscription-only: https://www.macrumors.com/2026/01/13/apple-creator-studio-exclusive-app-features/

@alexchapman

Sorry to hear that, thanks for the headsup about these problems.

I hope the developers of the open alternatives pay attention to this as accessibility is vital.

p.s. In case you missed it, Apple announced a new subscription package for their creative software and from now on some features will be subscription-only: https://www.macrumors.com/2026/01/13/apple-creator-studio-exclusive-app-features

So, Apple has jumped on the Adobe bandwagon and is now charging rent for creative tools 😞

Alternatively, you can use free open source alternatives without any subscription:

Microsoft Office has been replaced by "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" 🙄 (not a joke, see office.com)

Fortunately there are many good alternatives on the Fediverse:

➡️ @libreoffice - Free open source office suite, can be used entirely offline
➡️ @CollaboraOffice - Online fork of LibreOffice, upstream contributor
➡️ @nextcloud - FOSS personal cloud including collaborative office tools
➡️ @CryptPad - FOSS online office suite with maximum privacy
➡️ @ONLYOFFICE - FOSS online office suite
