It would require writing a new macOS version of the app from scratch.

A lot's changed since then! From MP3 export to multichannel recording to Apple Pencil and mouse support, customisable keyboard shortcuts, windowing, auto levelling, advanced search and smart folders, and much more!

A Mac version of Ferrite is something we're very interested in, but unlikely to appear soon.

mono, low sample rate, low bit rate — all-round bad. Ferrite will detect this & warn you, but still, it’s not ideal. So it only enables this when requested — otherwise, anyone trying to edit (not record) using non-AirPods Bluetooth headphones would hear their sound quality trashed.

…which means high-quality AirPods recording doesn’t work unless you also enable *low-quality* Bluetooth recording. And enabling *that* destroys the audio quality of *both* recording *and* playback if you connect any other Bluetooth headphones.

By “low quality”, I mean old-school phone call level:

Hello! Sorry to hear you've had a problem with Ferrite on iPad OS 26. That's not something I can diagnose over social media, but if you get in touch by email I can look into that for you. wooji-juice.com/contact

One day I'd love to make a new synth with all the mod cons, but right now other things are higher priority. So if you want some synths that don't support AUv3, aren't likely to get updated, BUT make really cool sounds, get 'em before they're gone: www.wooji-juice.com

• …doesn't support as many languages though. Might be hard to “message” in UI.
• Also really want to add iPad menu support, but currently blocked by SwiftUI bugs (FB18799723)

(Ferrite uses UIKit Lifecycle, which is why it has full iPad menu support…)

(screenshot should give you a fair idea what to expect).
• Pretty comprehensive iPad OS 26 menu support.
• Also experimenting with support for the new AirPods high-quality recording mode.

e.g. their View menus don’t contain any commands for changing the browser view (icons vs list view, sort order, etc), File/Edit contain nothing for selecting, sharing, moving, deleting files, etc.

It's particularly fiddly when it comes to keyboard shortcuts. Apple's apps currently seem to mostly ignore the document browser in the menus — not just Numbers, Pages etc but also Preview, which was presumably developed with iOS 26 in mind.

Menus can enable/disable items, but (per HIGs) they're not supposed to add/remove them (outside of stuff like Recent Files). So a document editing app kinda needs to cram _both_ its own entire UI, _and_ 90% of the Files app UI, into one menu system. Which is… not ideal.

That's great! If you use the in-app “Contact Support” feature to get in touch, I can add you to the TestFlight

and I want to leave folks still using them with a good solid build.

If you want in on this, please get in touch. Active testers will be amongst the first to get hold of those Big Plans! Not sure why you might be interested? Compare Ferrite and Hokusai here: www.wooji-juice.com/products/com...

But for some reason, people don’t talk about it much & it always struggles to find testers. Right now I’m running a new Hokusai TestFlight, and would love to get more eyeballs on it. It’s a minor update — because those Big Plans I mentioned? They’ll require dropping support for older iOS versions…
