About
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.
AI Summary
Audio Priority Bar is an open-source macOS app that manages audio device priorities by maintaining ranked lists for headphones, speakers, and microphones. It automatically switches to the highest-ranked connected device and includes features like mic muting and battery status for AirPods.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
