history
Project history and usage
PairPods is a free, open-source macOS menu-bar application for sending the same audio to two or more Bluetooth output devices, with per-device controls and automatic reconnection.
Project history
PairPods began as an open-source macOS menu-bar application by Paweł Woźniak. The February 2025 beta shared audio between two Bluetooth devices; subsequent releases added per-device volume, selection of more than two devices, reconnection, sample-rate information, master-clock selection, and battery reporting.
Adoption history
The initial beta included Homebrew installation, and PairPods remains distributed as the `pairpods` Homebrew cask. Its official repository also provides signed application releases and supports automatic update notifications through Sparkle.
How it is used
Connect at least two Bluetooth audio devices in macOS, open PairPods from the menu bar, select participating devices, optionally adjust their volumes and master clock, and enable Share Audio. Devices with mismatched native sample rates can exhibit pitch or synchronization artifacts.
Why package nerds care
PairPods packages a task that macOS users could otherwise assemble manually with aggregate or multi-output audio devices into a small native menu-bar utility. Its Homebrew cask and open SwiftUI code make it convenient for Mac-oriented package collections.
