About Tenacity
Tenacity is a multi-track audio editor and recorder for Windows, macOS, Linux, and other operating systems. The project describes it as built on top of Audacity and developed by volunteers. The homepage calls it easy-to-use and privacy-friendly, but it does not explain what those claims involve. The homepage describes Tenacity as FLOSS, and the directory description calls it open source, but the directory record marks open source as false. Check the license on the project page before relying on it. No pricing information is available from the source.
