Ringer
Ringer is a macOS utility that monitors and manages audio input and output devices, allowing users to switch between audio sources (headphones, speakers, USB audio devices, etc.) from the menu bar. It is designed for users who frequently change audio configurations, such as podcasters, video producers, musicians and professionals who work with multiple audio interfaces. The app provides quick access to audio device switching without needing to open System Settings or third-party audio management software.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe found no public information about whether Ringer has a native Apple Silicon build or remains Intel-only. The developer's website and update channels are not accessible through our search, so we cannot confirm the app's current maintenance status. Contact the developer directly at pixelresearchlabs.com (or through the app itself if it has a "Check for Updates" or "About" menu) to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version is available or planned. With Apple set to remove Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), it is important to confirm before that deadline whether you will be able to continue using this app. If the developer is unresponsive or confirms no native build is planned, consider alternatives like SoundSource, Voloco, or your Mac's built-in audio device switching in Control Center, all of which have confirmed native Apple Silicon support.
