What it does
Drag a YouTube video from your laptop screen to your external monitor. HearThere notices, and routes the audio to the speakers on the monitor where the video lives. No manual switching, no menu-bar fiddling.
Works with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IINA, VLC, Plex, Apple TV, Infuse — any app whose audio output you can detect on macOS 14.2 or later.
How it stays out of your way
Headphones honoured
Plug in AirPods or any non-display speaker, and HearThere stops auto-routing. Your choice wins.
Manual override sticks
Pick an output yourself and HearThere stays out of your way until you move the video to a different screen.
Multi-window aware
Two browsers playing on two screens? HearThere follows the one you're actually watching.
Sandboxed & private
Public APIs only. Nothing leaves your Mac. No telemetry, no network, no analytics.
Requirements
- macOS 14.2 (Sonoma) or later
