About Roadie

Roadie is an automatic audio device switching tool for macOS. You can arrange microphones and speakers by trust order in advance; when a device reconnects, the Mac wakes, or connection status changes, it automatically selects the highest-priority device that is currently connected. Roadie does not record or process audio and does not request microphone access; it supports Apple silicon and Intel Mac and requires macOS 13 or later. It offers a 7-day full-featured trial, after which a one-time purchase provides lifetime updates.
