What Farrago is
Farrago is a macOS app for playing sound bites, audio effects, and music clips on demand or in predefined sequences. It suits podcasting, radio, theatre, live shows, and voice or video chats. Audio tiles can be arranged in grids or lists and grouped into multiple sets. The editor trims clips and applies fades. Playback controls support looping, relative volume adjustment, and previewing through a separate output device. MIDI, OSC, and Stream Deck devices can control the app. Farrago searches Freesound and, for GarageBand or Logic Pro users, Apple Loops. Apple Shortcuts integration lets the app trigger shortcuts. The current listed version supports macOS 14 to 27. A Farrago License Key costs $55, paid once as a one-time purchase for a single user on one or more Macs; local taxes may apply. There is no free plan, but the trial includes all features. After 20 sounds, playback receives an overlaid noise; quitting and relaunching resets the trial. Rogue Amoeba is a privately held US company making macOS audio tools since 2002.
