24-Hour Air Archive · macOS

Every minute.
Every hour.
Every day.

The 24-hour air archive your station has been missing. DayTracker quietly records your on-air signal around the clock and lays out the entire broadcast day as a searchable, scrubbable timeline of songs, breaks, voicetracks, live-mic moments, and silence. Need to hear what really aired at 3 a.m. last Tuesday? Pull up the day, click the moment, and listen...there it is.

A complete record of
everything that aired.

DayTracker turns the previously opaque, hour-by-hour stream of your station into a labeled, searchable archive. Every song. Every break. Every voicetrack. Every second of every day.

DayTracker air archive overview

Records Everything

DayTracker captures your on-air audio from AutoCast and anchors it to the time when it ran. If the audio it's receiving hiccups for a few seconds, DayTracker fills the gap with silence and keeps going — so the recording always lines up with what was actually on the air, second for second.

Finds Anything Fast

The day is drawn as horizontal "swim lanes" of color-coded, labeled markers — songs, breaks, voicetracks, live-mic IN/OUT, EAS, silence. Hover any marker to see its label in the status bar. Use Search to hunt down the exact time when "Ray's Shoe Store" ran, and listen to confirm it. Or, click anywhere on the timeline to seek and listen. Zoom from the whole day down to a single second with scrollwheel or a two-finger swipe.

Exports Airchecks On Schedule

Schedule DayTracker to automatically save out beautifully formatted airchecks for the shows you care about — "Mike's Wed Show, from 9-11 PM" — and DayTracker quietly exports a clean MP3 every time just after the show finishes. Or mark any time range (or set of ranges) on the timeline by hand and hit E to export a tidy, combined file of just the sections you selected.

Built for the way
broadcasters actually work.

Every detail aimed at making yesterday's air signal as easy to find as today's.

DayTracker feature highlights

Wall-Clock Anchored Recording

Audio is pinned to the time of day, not the order it arrived. Even if the audio goes silent for a period of time, DayTracker's stays in sync and on track.

Fast Search Results

Instantly find anything that played by searching the markers. Did the Taco Bell "Hot Summer" ads run? Find them all in a flash, listen to confirm if you like.

Swim-Lane Timeline

Six lanes — Hours, Breaks, Voicetracks, Live mic, EAS, Notes — keep record of every kind of event that played, when it played, and what played. One look shows you visually. One listen confirms it.

AutoCast Integration

Audio over one network channel, markers over another. DayTracker auto-discovers AutoCast through shared settings; no IP addresses to type. Safe alongside live broadcast — DayTracker only listens.

PartyLine Silence Markers

If AutoCast detects dead air, it signals DayTracker, which writes a silence marker into its "Notes" lane automatically - in bright orange so it jumps off the timeline. Clusters of orange = something to investigate.

Click-to-Seek & Hover Hints

Click anywhere on the timeline to jump there. Hover over any marker and its full label — song title, voicetrack name, break number, your own note — appears in the status bar. No menus, clutter, or guesswork.

Selections & Manual "Excerpting"

Press [ to start a selection at the playhead, ] to commit. Or, just drag across portions of the timeline you want to select. Then press E to export every selection as a separate MP3 aircheck.

Scheduled Aircheck Cards

Set up one card per recurring show. Pick the days, the start and end hour, and whether to capture Live DJ or Voicetrack segments. DayTracker exports a tidy aircheck automatically, right after the show is finished.

Five Quality Levels

From "Crummy" (8 kbps, voice only, tiny files) to "Crazy Good" (96 kbps, near broadcast quality). All at 22050 Hz mono. The default "Good" setting fits a year of logs in 100 GB of storage space.

Daily Rollover

At midnight, DayTracker rolls to a fresh file for the new day and keeps recording. Yesterday's archive stays right where it was — complete, untouched, and ready for inspection.

Open Daily Files

Each day produces four files in ~/Documents/DayTracker/: the MP3, the markers CSV, a manifest, and pre-computed waveform peaks. Plain formats, no proprietary lockup. Copy a day to an archive disk and it stays loadable forever.

Live VU Meters

VU meters show reliable levels while listening back. Small indicators in the current day's recording conirm signal is being received.

Context Help Everywhere

Pass your mouse over any control and a plain-English description appears in the status bar at the bottom of the window. No guessing what a button does — just hover and read.
