What's new in Ears 1.6

Jan 3, 2023
  • New: Added a preference to hide BOTH the Dock and menu bar icons (previously, you could only hide one at a time). This lets Ears run completely hidden until you need it.
  • New: Added a preference to hide the main window's Linked Devices section for those who don't use that feature.
  • New: Ears has a new app icon.

New in Ears 1.5 (Jul 14, 2022)

  • Hello! This update to Ears finally resolves the longstanding Instamute bug on macOS Monterey that would mute the sound output of Bluetooth headphones when muting the microphone. I was never able to work around this bug myself, so thanks very much to the kind Apple engineers who fixed this in macOS 12.4.
  • Also, a new preference has been added that will color the microphone icon red when not muted. Early versions of Ears (~2020) used this red icon, but enough users complained it was distracting that I changed it to black. Well, now enough users are speaking up again in the other direction, so now it's a preference. Black or Red. Your choice.
