Description

Finder's Recents shows names and dates, which is no use when a folder holds nine files called V3, V3b and V3 FINAL. Recent Files sits in your menu bar and lists what you just touched, newest first, with the waveform drawn into every audio row and every version of a bounce folded into one line. Play a file without opening it. Check its loudness before you send it. Convert to MP3 in place. It watches folders, so it works the same in any app. Free on the Mac App Store, Pro is a one-time £19.

Could you build this?

Partial While standard macOS menu bar UIs can be vibe-coded, implementing accurate background digital signal processing for audio compliance and inter-sample peak detection requires specialized audio engineering.

What it would actually take: The app requires a native Swift/Objective-C macOS architecture using FSEvents for file tracking and AVFoundation or ffmpeg for format conversion. The difficult component is the real-time background DSP engine, which must compute ITU-R BS.1770 integrated loudness, true-peak oversampling, and phase correlation without blocking user interactions. This requires specialized domain knowledge in digital audio signal processing and native memory-safe systems programming.
