Features

Mic in your pocket. Remote in your hand.

A virtual microphone every app can use, plus shortcuts without touching the keyboard.

A virtual microphone every app can use

Your phone captures; your Mac exposes “iMic” as a system input. Mute from the phone. Level meters on both ends. Keeps streaming with the screen locked.

Shortcuts without touching the keyboard

Custom buttons on iPhone fire Mac shortcuts — push-to-talk, Spotlight, screenshot, Raycast, Alfred, dictation, start recording. Tap or hold.

Built for long sessions

Adaptive jitter buffer, clock-drift correction, automatic reconnect after sleep or Wi-Fi blips. Designed to hold for hours, not minutes.

The full flow

From Mac setup to studio mic.

Follow one session end to end — set up iMic on your Mac, publish to your network, talk from your iPhone, and your Mac hears it as a studio-clear input.

Who it's for

Stand up, speak, stay connected.

Presenters, podcasters, streamers, and Mac power users.

  • Trigger OBS, mute, or Raycast without reaching the keyboard.
  • Pair once at home; reconnect automatically every workday.

Local by design

Your voice never leaves your network.

Encrypted on your network. Never uploaded.

  • Local Wi-Fi / peer-to-peer only — no cloud relay.
  • Encrypted control and audio channels.
  • Pairing with pinned device identity keys.
  • No audio stored by default.
  • Accessibility permission only if you use keyboard shortcuts — audio works without it.
