MicGuard

Prevents Bluetooth audio devices (e.g. AirPods) from hijacking the default macOS microphone.

Beta: MicGuard is pre-1.0. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed until version 1.0.0 is reached.

Requirements

• macOS 15+

Install

brew install pszypowicz/tap/mic-guard

Build from source

make install

How it works

MicGuard is a macOS menubar app that monitors the default input device via CoreAudio. When the system switches the input (e.g. when AirPods connect), MicGuard immediately reverts to your preferred microphone.
