macOS switches audio to whatever connected last. Audio Priority Bar keeps one ranked list each for headphones, speakers and mics and always uses the highest one connected. When macOS or AirPods grab a device on their own, it switches back. New monitor outputs start hidden, a Jabra headset that's off is skipped, Option-Shift-M mutes your mic from any app, and AirPods show their battery. Free, native Swift, MIT licensed, no telemetry.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Camille. macOS switches audio to whatever connected last, so my dock kept sending sound to my monitor and my Jabra headset kept "playing" while switched off. Tobi had written a small open source app for this, but it went quiet, so I forked it and kept going. You rank headphones, speakers and mics once, and the app always uses the highest one connected. When macOS or AirPods take a device on their own, it switches back. Option-Shift-M mutes your mic from any app, and a reminder shows if an app records while you're muted. Most of 2.7 came from Dave Smith, who sent eight pull requests. Native Swift, no telemetry, MIT. It isn't notarized yet, so the first launch needs Open Anyway in Privacy & Security. Questions and odd hardware reports are very welcome.
