HearThere
Audio follows your video.
Drag video between screens, sound goes with it.
macOS 14.2 or later · External display speakers required · One-time payment
What it does
Drag a video window from one screen to another. HearThere notices, and routes the audio to whichever screen the video lands on. No manual switching, no menu-bar fiddling.
Works with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IINA, VLC, Plex, Apple TV, Infuse — anything macOS can hear. The only requirement: an external display with built-in speakers. If a monitor doesn't appear in macOS Sound settings, HearThere has nothing to route to.
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.
Knows which one you're watching
Two screens or six. Multiple videos at once? HearThere follows the window in focus.
