RemSound for Mac 6.2.4

RemSound for Mac 6.2.4 brings the Windows 6.2.2–6.2.4 logging improvements to the Mac app.

• Clearer connection and dropout messages, including recent wake and network-change context.
• Measurements are kept in a separate CSV file, with minute summaries and more detail saved around problems.
• Preferences now includes Open current log and Open logs folder. Write logs now saves the recent readings for troubleshooting.
• Failed diagnostic writes no longer raise file-handle exceptions. Peer names remain text when readings are opened in a spreadsheet.
• Longer-gap warnings use the receive queue's measured shortfall, and connected-peer counts reflect the current reading.
• The Mac manual explains the new logging controls and what to check before sharing logs.

The app and AU, VST3 and CLAP plugins are universal binaries for Apple silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 14 or later. They are signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple. This release is version 6.2.4, build 625.

Download RemSound-Mac-v6.2.4.zip for the app and plugins. Existing users can use the app's update check. Settings and profiles are preserved. The separate source.zip contains the corresponding source and pinned build dependencies; it is not needed to run RemSound.

Validation: 404 distinct selected native tests and three plugin test suites passed. The signed update, isolated reopening and Quit, plugin ownership safeguards, and rollback to the previous app/plugin bytes and prior absence were checked. Fresh spoken VoiceOver, live-device, DAW-host, physical Intel and extended soak testing were not repeated for this logging update.

Thanks to Ed Pourtahmasbi for the logging work. For the original project and other platforms, visit Ed's RemSound page.

RemSound Mac 6.2.1

RemSound Mac brings REMSound's low-latency, cross-platform audio sharing to macOS. This first public Mac release uses version 6.2.1 to align with the Windows version number.

Download and install

• Requires macOS 14 or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel.
• Download RemSound-Mac-v6.2.1.zip, extract it, and drag RemSound.app into Applications. Replace the older test copy if asked. Profiles and saved settings are stored separately.
• The app and included AU, VST3 and CLAP plugins are Developer ID signed and notarized. Plugin installation is optional; see the Mac manual before using them in a DAW.
• The user manual is available in the app, in the repository, and as HTML/text inside the app's Resources folder.

In this release

• Mac audio sharing, profiles, recording, peer controls and VoiceOver support.
• A Mac-focused manual and context help, with setup, keyboard, connection and privacy guidance.
• Normal Quit exits the application; Hide and Minimize retain their separate Mac behaviour. Save, Discard Changes and Cancel remain available when needed.
• Signed update verification and transactional app/plugin replacement, with rollback on failure. Plugin removal refuses a bundle whose signature no longer establishes ownership.

Testing and limitations

Live peer audio, saved settings, VoiceOver and normal Quit have been tested on the maintainer's Mac. Current focused native tests and processor/bridge tests pass, and signed installation plus rollback were exercised in isolated folders. This is not a claim that every Windows feature, every audio device or every DAW host has been validated. Physical Intel/macOS14 testing, all AU/VST3/CLAP host combinations and extended multi-day use remain areas for further testing.
