What is BetterAudio?

BetterAudio is an audio management application for macOS. It allows you to control your audio environment, switch between devices, manage volume for each app, and transcribe with AI technology. BetterAudio also lets you personalize your HUD without disrupting your workflow.

The software includes features such as independent volume control for each app, direct volume control for external monitors, quick switching between audio input and output devices, and a multi-output feature for simultaneous audio playback on two devices. It provides technical information for each audio device and a priority system for organizing your device list. You can adjust the global system volume directly from the menu bar slider.

BetterAudio uses local Parakeet AI models for dictation and quick transcription. It can force media keys to control your chosen player, such as Spotify or Apple Music, and redirect system volume keys to control the volume of these music apps. It displays the currently playing track and media information.

The software also offers a custom HUD for on-screen notifications when adjusting volume, muting, or switching devices. It includes a smart muting feature with status icons and customizable keyboard shortcuts for adjusting volume, switching devices, and opening the panel. You have full control over components and icons displayed in the menu bar for visual customization.
