It is the time to look for a fork due to recent changes to the Audacity privacy policy (GitHub issue New privacy policy is completely unacceptable! #1213), Contributor License Agreement, and telemetry implementation.
There are two notable Audacity forks: Tenacity and Audacium.
Tenacity
GitHub repository: https://tenacityaudio.org/
Official website: https://github.com/tenacityteam/tenacity
Tenacity is an easy-to-use, cross-platform multi-track audio editor/recorder for Windows, MacOS, GNU/Linux and other operating systems and is developed by a group of volunteers as an open source software that respects user privacy.
Audacium
GitHub repository: https://github.com/SartoxOnlyGNU/audacium
Official website: https://audacium.seb1g.live
Audacity fork without Telemetry and with new features.
You need to compile these applications, but this is a simple and straightforward process (see BUILDING.md file).
