Automatically routes each app to the audio device you want
Every time I jumped between Spotify, Zoom, and YouTube I had to manually switch audio outputs. It drove me crazy. So I built Sound Warden. It lives in your menu bar and automatically routes each app to the audio device you want. Set it once, forget it forever. ✅ Per-app audio routing ✅ Menu bar — always accessible ✅ Lightweight, no background bloat Built for anyone who uses multiple audio devices daily.
Hey PH! 👋 I'm the solo dev behind Sound Warden. Built this after spending way too long manually switching between my speakers and headphones depending on what app I was using. macOS just doesn't handle this natively. Would love your honest feedback — what features would make this a must-have for you?
