    According to the arch wiki: Audacity #Tenacity_fork

    In May 2021, after the project was acquired by Muse Group there was a draft proposal to add opt-in telemetry to the code to record application usage. As an alternative tenacity was forked by a group of volunteers as open-source software.

    Doesn’t sound like they actually went through with it?

      They did not. I use Audacity regularly on more than one platform. It collects no data from me. It also hasn’t received an update in years, but still does exactly what it needs to do, and does it well.

      That said, I hadn’t heard of Tenacity until this thread, and it looks like I shall be migrating over to that anyway. Better safe than sorry.

        Wherever you’ve been using it from likely hasn’t been official then because Audacity got it’s most recent update 3 days ago. Muse group is still working on it but I don’t trust them.
