About Nearfield

What the tool does and who it's for

Nearfield is a native, open-source Mac application and HAL audio driver that combines the speakers in two or more Apple Studio Displays into a single system-wide, volume-controllable stereo output. It provides left/right channel swapping, audio balance adjustment, and app- or window-based audio routing while preserving native macOS keyboard volume controls without requiring microphone or accessibility permissions.

Key capabilities

Native HAL Driver: Publishes a system-wide audio output device that maintains native macOS volume control and keyboard shortcuts.
Channel Swapping: Swap left and right channels to align audio with physical display positioning.
Balance Control: Adjust sound balance between connected displays directly from the menu bar app.
App & Window Audio Routing: Route audio from specific applications or windows to designated display speakers.
Zero Permission Requirements: Built as a native audio driver that does not ask for microphone or accessibility permissions.
Open Source Codebase: Fully open source under the MIT license.
