Requires macOS 26 or later
Built on its own audio driver
Re-Q comes with a driver of its own, so every app on your Mac plays straight into it. No loopback devices to install, no aggregate devices to juggle, and nothing to set up in advance.
Every app, caught
Music, games, calls, the browser. Whatever plays, Re-Q hears it first.
As many channels as you need
From plain stereo up to 256 channels, and change it whenever you like.
Surround ready
Run stereo, 5.1, 7.1.4 or 9.1.6, and choose which channel each speaker gets.
A lane for every app
The driver carries each app you route on a lane of its own, as wide as your layout, so its sound is kept apart from the rest of your Mac without tapping it.
Open source
The driver's code is public, so you can see exactly what runs on your Mac.
See the code on GitHubSend any sound anywhere
Route each app to its own speakers or headphones, and decide where every channel lands on every device.
Every output at once
Play to your speakers, your TV and your headphones together, each with its own sound.
Apps where you want them
Keep a call in your headphones while the music plays on the speakers, Dolby Atmos and all.
Dolby Atmos on any device
Hear a 7.1.4 or 9.1.6 mix all around you, on any device you own.
Maps that follow your layout
Change your speaker layout and every connection moves with it.
Every speaker, perfectly in time
Play to your AirPods, your speakers and your TV at once, and hear one sound, not an echo. Re-Q works out how late each device plays and holds the quicker ones back, so they all land together.
Bluetooth and wired, together
Wireless headphones run far behind wired speakers. Re-Q lines them up, so they play as one.
Automatic, as devices come and go
Connect a device, unplug one or change a sample rate, and everything is lined up again straight away.
Fine tune any device
A trim for the odd device that gets its own delay wrong, nudged until it sounds right.
Video stays in sync
Re-Q tells your Mac exactly how late its sound is, so video lines up with it, even on Bluetooth headphones. Switch outputs and it keeps up straight away.
Setups that switch themselves
A configuration is a whole setup: which outputs play, how channels are mapped, which layout the driver uses and how every effect is wired. You draw when it turns on as a graph, and Re-Q switches it the moment the answer changes.
Triggers you choose
Devices connecting, apps playing or in front, a microphone in use, the time of day and the day of the week, a Wi-Fi network, displays, battery, the lid, the screen lock and how long you've been away.
Logic you can see
Compare and count what's going on, wire the answers through And, Or, Xor, Not and Nand, and watch each wire light up as it turns true.
Its own version of everything
Each configuration gets its own branch of every effects graph, its own channel maps, and its own blocking and driver settings.
Shape every sound
Wire effects together on a canvas for each output, input or app. Every change is heard instantly, and a live analyser shows exactly what your graph is doing.

See what you hear
Seven live graphs: the spectrum, the difference your effects make, stereo, loudness, a spectrogram, every channel's level and every device's latency.
Split, process, merge
Split a sound by channel, by frequency band or into mid and side, treat each part on its own, then merge it back together.
Effects that react
Switch between paths as the level, the stereo width, the volume or sample rate changes.
Your own library
Save a single effect or a whole group of them, and drop it onto any graph.
Record what you hear
Capture any output, input, app or the whole Mac, at the stage you choose: straight from the app, after Dolby Atmos, or with every effect applied.
Starts when the sound does
Arm it and walk away. Takes that never heard a thing are cleared away for you.
One file, or one per source
Keep everything together, or every source on its own track.
Safe when things change
Unplug a device or change a rate mid take, and the recording ends cleanly.
