Keep your Mac on the right microphone and speakers
Roadie is a menu-bar audio switcher for Mac. Rank microphones and speakers once, and it automatically restores the best available device after reconnects, wake, login, or macOS changes. Manual choices still win until the device set changes. Pause anytime, avoid unwanted outputs, and stay private: routing runs locally and Roadie never captures audio.
I built Roadie after getting tired of macOS jumping to display speakers or the wrong microphone whenever a device reconnected. The idea is deliberately simple: set priority lists once, then let the menu-bar app handle the churn without fighting intentional manual choices. Roadie is local-first, captures no audio, and needs no microphone permission. This is the 0.9.2 Early Access launch, so feedback on device compatibility and switching behavior is especially welcome.
