# MicWith ## Your voice and your music, together. MicWith mixes your microphone with the sound your Mac is already playing and offers the result to Zoom or Google Meet as a single microphone. Teach, play a track, talk over it — the class hears one clean mix. ### One microphone, two sources There are only two sounds: your microphone, and whatever your Mac is playing. MicWith blends them and presents the result as a microphone called MicWith Broadcast. Meeting apps see an ordinary input device. ### Your own audio is untouched MicWith copies what your Mac plays instead of diverting it. Your speaker stays your speaker, your volume keys still work, and nothing about your own listening changes. If MicWith quits, your Mac carries on as if it was never there. ### Two sliders for the meeting only Microphone and system each have a trim of up to twelve decibels either way. They change what the meeting hears and nothing else. Both rest at zero, which means the class hears the balance you hear. ### Clip protection Voice and music together can push a mix into distortion. A limiter watches the sum and eases it down before it clips, so a loud passage does not turn into crackle at the other end. ### Speaker echo removal Working on speakers instead of headphones? Your microphone picks the music back up and the class hears it twice, smeared. One switch cancels that. On headphones leave it off — there is nothing to cancel. ### Test broadcast Record ten seconds and play it back to hear what the class hears. The playback reaches only your own ears: while you listen, the meeting keeps getting the live mix. ## User guide MicWith reads the audio your Mac is playing with a system tap, mixes it with your microphone and writes the result to its own microphone device. Nothing is rerouted and no audio ever leaves your Mac. ### Install once Open MicWith and press Install. It adds a single microphone to your Mac called MicWith Broadcast. macOS asks for your administrator password once and the sound pauses for about a second. ### Pick your microphone Choose the microphone you actually speak into. The built-in one on a MacBook is usually the best choice. You can change it mid-broadcast without dropping the class. ### Go on air Press the lit button. It reads ON AIR while MicWith is mixing, and the menu bar icon turns red so you can tell at a glance even with the panel closed. ### Select it in Zoom or Meet In your meeting app choose MicWith Broadcast as the microphone. Your speaker needs no special setting — leave it wherever you normally have it. ### Set the balance Play something and watch the meters. Move the system slider down if the music covers your voice, or the microphone slider up if you are quiet. Zero on both means the class hears what you hear. ### Check it before you teach Use the test broadcast. Ten seconds of you talking over the music, played straight back, tells you more than any meter. Do it once at the start and forget about it. ### One microphone, two sources There are only two sounds: your microphone, and whatever your Mac is playing.

Yes, exactly as before. MicWith takes a copy of what is playing rather than standing in the path, so your output device, your volume keys and your own listening are untouched. ### Do I have to change the speaker setting in Zoom? No. Earlier approaches to this problem required it; MicWith does not. Set the microphone to MicWith Broadcast and leave everything else alone. ### Which microphone should I pick? The built-in microphone on your Mac is usually best. Avoid a Bluetooth headset's microphone: macOS drops the whole connection into phone-call quality when it is in use, and the music suffers with it. Wired headphones or AirPods for listening are fine. ### The class says the music is too loud. Move the system slider down. It changes only what the meeting hears, so your own level stays where you like it. The reverse also works: raise the microphone slider if your voice is being covered. ### Why does the meeting sound like it is echoing? If you are on speakers, your microphone is picking the music back up. Turn on speaker echo removal. On headphones this does not happen and the switch should stay off. ### Does MicWith need an account or send my audio anywhere? No account, and no audio. Everything is mixed on your Mac. The only thing MicWith sends over the network is your licence key, to confirm it is valid. ### What happens when I quit? The broadcast stops and your Mac returns to normal. MicWith never took over your output device, so there is nothing to restore and nothing left behind. ## Get MicWith MicWith runs on macOS 14.2 Sonoma and later, on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.

It can be active on up to three Macs, and you can release a Mac yourself from your purchase page if you change machines. ## Privacy Policy MicWith is a local audio tool. This page explains, plainly, the only two places data is involved: your audio, which stays on your Mac, and your licence key, which is checked with our payment provider. 11 September 2026 ### Your audio never leaves your Mac Microphone and system audio are mixed inside the app and written to a local audio device. Nothing is recorded to disk, uploaded, streamed or analysed by us. The test broadcast is held in memory only and is discarded when you stop it or quit. ### We operate no account system MicWith has no sign-up, no login and no user profile. We do not know who you are from using the app. ### What the licence check sends When you activate a key, MicWith sends the key, our organisation identifier and a label for the Mac, which is the computer name macOS already shows in Sharing settings. On later launches it sends the key and the activation identifier to confirm the licence is still valid. No audio, no device inventory and no usage statistics are sent. ### Who receives it Licence keys are issued and checked by Polar, which is also the merchant of record for the purchase. Their handling of your purchase and email address is governed by their own privacy policy. We see the order and licence records Polar shows us; we do not receive your payment details. ### What is stored on your Mac MicWith keeps your settings, your chosen microphone, your slider positions, your licence key and its activation identifier in the standard macOS preferences for the app. Removing the app removes them. ### No analytics, no tracking The app contains no analytics, no crash reporting and no advertising or tracking code of any kind. This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics either; it stores only your language choice in your browser. ### Website hosting This site is served by our hosting provider, which keeps ordinary server logs such as IP address, time and requested page for operating and securing the service. We do not use those logs to build profiles. ### Microphone permission macOS asks for microphone access before MicWith can hear you, and shows its recording indicator while it is in use. You can withdraw that permission at any time in System Settings; MicWith then cannot broadcast until you grant it again. ### Contact Questions about this policy, or a request about data held by us, can be sent to team@beyondend.dev. Requests concerning your purchase or payment are best sent to Polar, who hold that record. ## Terms of Use These terms cover the MicWith application for macOS and this website. Buying a licence or using the app means you accept them. 11 September 2026 ### What you are buying A licence to use MicWith on your own Macs. It is a one-time purchase with no expiry, and it may be active on up to three Macs at the same time. You may release a Mac and activate another from your purchase page. ### The free trial MicWith works fully for twenty-four hours from first launch, without a key and without payment details. When the trial ends the app asks for a licence key. ### What you may not do Do not resell, sublicense, rent or share your key, and do not attempt to defeat the licence check or redistribute a modified build. Using the app to record or broadcast other people without the consent the law requires of you is your responsibility, not ours. ### Ownership MicWith, its audio driver and this site remain our property. You get a licence to use the software; you do not acquire rights in it. ### Payment and refunds Purchases are handled by Polar as merchant of record, and their checkout terms and refund process apply. If MicWith does not work for you, write to us first: the trial exists so that you can find that out before paying, and we would rather resolve it. ### Availability and changes We may change or discontinue features, and a future macOS release may require changes on our side. We will not knowingly break a version you already paid for, but we cannot promise that any specific feature stays unchanged. ### No warranty MicWith is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. We do not promise that it is free of faults or fit for a particular purpose. Test it before a lesson that matters — the test broadcast exists for that. ### Limitation of liability To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including a disrupted lesson, lost recording or lost income. Where liability cannot be excluded it is limited to the amount you paid for your licence. Nothing here removes rights you hold as a consumer under the law of your country. ### Law and contact These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, and the courts of Istanbul have jurisdiction, without removing any mandatory consumer protection of your own country of residence.
