Requires macOS 26 or later
Built on its own audio driver
Re-Q comes with its own custom virtual driver, so every sound plays directly into it with nothing extra to install.
As many channels as you need
Switch between stereo up to 256 channels whenever you need to.
Surround ready
Supports any layout including stereo, 5.1, 7.1.4 or 9.1.6, and route any channel anywhere.
A lane for every app
The driver carries each app you route in its own lane, 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 individual apps, channels, or frequency bands with full control over which device plays which sound.
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 your music plays on the speakers.
Dolby Atmos on any headphone
Hear a 7.1.4 or 9.1.6 mix all around you, on any pair 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 headphones, your speakers and your TV at once, and hear one sound. 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 devices run far behind wired ones. 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
Realign the odd device that gets its own delay wrong, down to the millisecond.
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 readjusts immediately.
Setups that switch themselves
Connect logic of your choice to decide how channels are mapped, surround layout, and each devices filters, switched as soon as something changes.
Triggers you choose
Devices connecting, apps playing, a microphone in use, the time of day and the day of the week, a Wi-Fi network, displays, battery, 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 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.
