Version 2.0.0

What's New in Version 2.0.0

Added

• Output locking: in addition to forcing the input device, you can now lock the system's audio output to a device of your choice. Input and output locks are fully independent, so you can keep your mic on the built-in input while locking output wherever you like. Output options are hidden by default (input locking is the common case) — turn on "Show Output Options" to reveal the "Forced output:" section and pick a device.
• "Show Input Options" and "Show Output Options" toggles let you hide the controls for a direction you don't use. Hiding a direction also pauses its lock; showing it again restores it.
• "Notify on forced output" toggle (off by default), mirroring the existing input notification. When the locked output is taken over by another device, the app forces it back and — if enabled — posts a notification naming both devices.
• Per-lock pause: "Pause Input Lock" and "Pause Output Lock" let you temporarily disable forcing in each direction independently. Pause state, device choices, and the show/hide toggles all persist across quitting the app and rebooting.

Changed

• The app is now called LockAudio (formerly Mac Audio Input Locker). The website has moved to lockaudio.com and support is now contact@lockaudio.com.
• Menu controls (pause, notifications, open-at-login) now show icons, so app actions are easy to tell apart from the selectable device rows.
• "Sound settings…" now opens the general Sound pane (covering both input and output) instead of the Input tab.
