CLUSTER AUDIO-AUTOMATICALLY-BAR · 9 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-09

macOS audio priority switchers

This cluster consists of macOS menu bar utilities that automatically switch the system's default audio input and output to the highest-priority connected device based on user-defined lists. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from – it predates the index or its members are undated. Among the traction leaders are SoundCue, AudioPriorityBar, and writ, each with 0 stars.

ENTRY TIMELINE

SEP 2026OCT 2026

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
