KeepMic: end the Bluetooth headset mic hijacking
A simple macOS menu bar app that keeps your preferred microphone as the default input device. Perfect for podcasters, streamers, and remote workers.
Requires macOS 14.2 or later
Your mic, every time
Connect your AirPods for music and your podcast mic stays the input.
Automatic switching
Switches back to your preferred microphone the moment macOS changes it, like when Bluetooth headphones connect.
Fallback microphones
Rank several microphones. The highest-ranked connected one is used, and KeepMic switches back when a better one reconnects.
Set and forget
Lives quietly in your menu bar and launches at login. No windows, popups or distractions.
No bullshit
No subscriptions, no tracking, no in-app purchases. Buy once and it's yours.
How it works
- Install KeepMic from the Mac App Store
- Click the microphone icon in your menu bar and open Settings
- Add your preferred microphones and drag them into priority order
- That's it. KeepMic keeps the best available microphone active
"Finally, an app that does exactly what it says. No AI, no blockchain, no subscription. I'm honestly shocked."
