Streamline your audio recording workflow by controlling Audio Hijack directly from your Stream Deck. Thanks to deep integration with Apple Shortcuts, you can now start and stop your pre-configured recording sessions with a single button press, eliminating manual steps and ensuring you never miss a take.
Audio Hijack now includes native Shortcut actions, allowing you to build powerful automations. The key new capability is the Run/Stop Session action, which lets you programmatically start or stop any of your saved Audio Hijack sessions. This action can be embedded into any shortcut, making it easy to trigger complex recording setups from your Stream Deck, a keyboard hotkey, or even Siri.


For a complete podcasting setup, create a master shortcut that prepares your entire workspace. As shown in the video, a single button can trigger your HomeKit scene, open your web browser to a specific URL like Riverside.fm, arrange your windows in split-screen, start your Audio Hijack session, and even set a timer. This level of automation ensures a consistent and error-free setup every time you record.

Integrating Audio Hijack with Shortcuts and the Stream Deck transforms your recording process into a simple, automated, one-click action. This powerful combination allows you to build reliable and customized workflows that save time, reduce the chance of manual errors, and let you focus entirely on creating your content.
