Features

Built for keyboard-first workflows

Everything you need to manage audio devices efficiently — and nothing you don't.

Global Hotkeys

Assign keyboard shortcuts to any audio device and switch instantly from anywhere — no window focus needed.

Toggle Mute

Press the same hotkey twice to mute the active device. A third tap unmutes — perfect for quick push-to-mute moments.

All Devices

Enumerate and manage every input and output endpoint on your system from a single, unified table.

Seven Theme Presets

Catppuccin Mocha, Light, Nord, Dracula, Solarized Dark, Tokyo Night, and Gruvbox — change instantly.

Custom Title Bar

A sleek, frameless dark title bar that stays consistent on every theme and looks great on any OS.

System Tray

Runs quietly in the background. Close or minimize hides to tray; double-click to bring settings back.

Persistent Config

Bindings and theme are saved automatically as JSON — no setup needed when you reopen the app.

Cross-Platform

Native Windows (MMDevice / WASAPI) and Linux (PulseAudio + X11) backends. Built on Qt 6 and C++17.

Auto-Updates

Checks GitHub Releases for new versions on demand and shows release notes inline before you upgrade.

A peek inside

Designed to get out of your way.

Open the configurator, drop in a device, set a hotkey, and forget about it. The window slips into the system tray the moment you're done — your shortcuts keep working.
