Chorus - Combine speakers, switch mics, set rules, automations and shortcuts. All the audio control macOS leaves out.

Chorus gives you complete control of your Mac's speakers and mics. Group your speakers so they play as one, pick your mic, and switch between your own setups with custom shortcuts. Here's what it does:

Groups - Combine devices so they play together as one, with one real volume for the group and balance between the devices.

Outputs - Send audio to any speaker, display or headphone.

Inputs - Pick any microphone and switch it just as fast.

Per-App Audio - Give every app its own volume and output, so music stays on the desk speakers while a call stays on the headphones (needs macOS 14.4).

Keyboard Shortcuts- Bind a shortcut to any group, output or input

Rules - Set a rule that fires when specific devices are plugged in, so the right setup picks itself.

Auto-Switch - Follows your devices as they connect and disconnect.

Volume Keys & HUD- Volume keys control the group, with a screen readout.

Automation - Trigger Chorus from Raycast, Shortcuts, Alfred or a Stream Deck.

No driver and no kernel extension, it uses the audio grouping macOS already has. No account, no cloud, nothing recorded.

$4.99 once, no subscription, up to 3 Macs, free for 30 days with no card details. macOS 13 or later.

Raindrop for links, Pinterest for visuals, no answer for video, and X bookmarks hidden away. So we built a visual bookmark manager that brings it all together; Muse.

Muse is a AI Visual Bookmark Manager for saving everything you find online, links, images, screenshots, videos etc, into one library that lives only on your Mac. We wanted one place we could store and search from quickly, without a subscription.

Here's what it does:
- Works from anywhere - drag, paste or screenshot to save instantly, or press a customisable shortcut to search and file something without switching apps
- Bookmarks/links - import your existing links from Raindrop, Eagle, browser bookmarks or a Pinterest export, and every new one gets a title, favicon and preview pulled automatically.
- Every format together  - links, images, screenshots, GIFs, video and notes, all in one searchable library
- Collections and boards - nest collections as deep as you like, and file one item into more than one without duplicating it.
- Search everything - by the text inside an image, a colour name, or plain meaning, like typing "dark moody UI" and it finds it
- Find similar images - one click finds visually similar items already in your library, on-device, or searches the web for more, without leaving the app
- Live X bookmarks - use the browser extension and pull in your x bookmarks automatically, without paying for API access
- Real files, no server  - stored as an actual folder on your Mac. Open it in Finder, export or back it up whenever
- AI art prompts - reverse-engineer any image into a detailed art prompt, using your own Claude key (optional)

Native Swift, on-device AI, no account, no cloud database. $29 once, no subscription, free for 30 days to try it properly first.

Atlas for Mac, an Interactive World Clock + Menu Bar App

I used to love the interactive map in Cron calendar, it made it so quick to visually plan when we would get together as a remote team with people around the world - so we made Atlas! Its a interactive world map where you can add your team, loved ones etc, and see where they are in their days - both in app and in the menu bar.

You can also schedule meetings with it and it shows your calendar, but mostly its a nice way of at a glance seeing the time for everyone! Would love you to take a look and let us know what you think! FYI it's a one time purchase of $4.99 - which we think is a fair price. Click here to take a look and any questions just let me know!

Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Podcasts: everything you play on your Mac, folded into one place you can pull up anywhere and step right back into. Meet Echo for Mac!

Hey r/MacAppsLaunches!

We're Theodore HQ, a small studio making Mac apps, and this is our newest: Echo, a memory for everything you play on your Mac. What it does:

One history for everything you play - bring it up over whatever you're doing and scroll through every song, podcast, and video you've played, across your apps and the browser. Pick any of it back up at the exact second you stopped.

Built for the keyboard- open it, filter, move around, and resume without ever reaching for the mouse. ⌘K on anything to pin it, rename it, or grab a timestamped link.

Float any video - pop it into a small window that floats over everything. Hover over it and it goes transparent, so you can click straight through to whatever's underneath and keep working.

A shelf for the half-finished stuff - anything you start but don't get through lands here on its own, so it's one click away instead of buried three scrolls down.

A waveform of your whole day - a colour-coded strip of everything you listened to since you woke up, one colour per session. Tap any stretch of it to jump straight back in.

Bookmark a moment - one key saves the exact second, plus the ten seconds before it, in whatever podcast or video is playing.

Takes its colour from what's playing - the whole interface tints itself to match the artwork on screen. Prefer it stayed one colour? Lock in your own accent instead.

Hand it off to your phone - send whatever you're in the middle of over to your phone and pick it up on the move.

We're tired of subscriptions too, so Echo is a one-time $9.99. Every future update's included, one licence covers up to three Macs, and it needs macOS 13 Ventura or later. There's also a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked if it's not for you. Check it out here.

We read every reply, so fire away with questions! Thanks for reading!
