Sonos
Sonos is the official Mac application for controlling and managing Sonos wireless audio systems and smart speakers. The app allows users to set up, configure, and control their entire Sonos ecosystem from their Mac, including streaming music from various services, grouping speakers for multi-room audio, and adjusting audio settings. It's essential for Sonos system owners who want to manage their home audio setup from their computer rather than just mobile devices. The application provides a comprehensive interface for controlling playback, managing playlists, and configuring advanced audio features like Trueplay room tuning on supported devices.

1 suggestionBased on the search results, Sonos has not released an Apple Silicon native version of their macOS app as of 2025. The application still requires Rosetta 2 to run on Apple Silicon Macs, which has been a source of user frustration for over 5 years since Apple Silicon's introduction. With Apple planning to phase out Rosetta 2 in macOS 28, this could become a significant compatibility issue. Currently, there is no native alternative that provides the same level of integration with Sonos hardware. Users should continue using the current Intel version through Rosetta 2 while monitoring Sonos community forums for updates, or consider using the Sonos mobile app as a temporary workaround for basic control functions.
