Comments and Reviews

   
 Post comment/review
Comment summary: Tenacity is appreciated for being a fast, open-source alternative to Audacity, praised for its absence of analytics and telemetry. Positive feedback highlights its privacy-focused development and availability of compiled versions for easy user access. However, some users note challenges, such as no repo or appimage for Linux, outdated dependencies affecting compilation, and occasional security warnings flagged by antivirus software. Development speed and support have also been questioned.

not sure what to think about, downloaded from Codeberg, got a warning from Windows Defender what for me not happend on Open Source Software in a while, so i checked it the latest and 3 previous versions on Virustotal. "tenacity-win-v1.3.1-x86_64.exe" 1 Detection: Bkav Pro - W32.AIDetectMalware "tenacity-win-v1.3-beta3-x86_64.exe" 1 Detection: MaxSecure - Trojan.Malware.121218.susgen "tenacity-win-1.3.0-x86_64.exe" 0 Detection "saucedacity-1.2.1-win-x86_64.zip" 0 Detection so can anyone tell me if in the latest version its just a false positive?

False positives there are over 56 engines, all detect nothing expect 3. And even of those 3, 2 state unsafe so nothing detailed and when run on any.run you can see no external connections.

It's a very good fork of Audacity

I want to give this a positive review. It works well on my Windows machines, but on my main Linux machines, there's no repo or appimage. I attempted to compile using their detailed steps, but it keeps failing, likely because they're requiring an outdated wxWidgets.

Tenacity is available as a Flatpak via Flathub.

I appreciate that, but I'm not comfortable installing another repository for a single app.

Not comfortable using a Flatpak? Alrighty then.... If it was a Snap package, I could kind of understand not wanting to use it.

Mirrors on Github https://codeberg.org/tenacityteam/tenacity\

Downloadable pre-built files from the release.(Saucedacity) https://codeberg.org/tenacityteam/tenacity/releases\

I think it's a good fork.

Audacity, but with the absence of telemetry and the inclusion of Dark Audacity's nicer looking theme.
