About:
Airfoil is a powerful audio streaming application that transmits sound from any application or device on your computer to a wide range of outputs. It allows you to send audio to AirPlay 2-compatible speakers, Apple TVs, HomePods, and other devices. This turns your entire home or office into a wireless sound system for any audio source.
Key Features:
  • Send audio from any application to AirPlay 2 speakers and devices
  • Supports a wide range of outputs including Chromecast and Bluetooth devices
  • Includes Airfoil Satellite for receiving audio on iOS and other platforms
  • Low-latency audio transmission for a near-real-time experience
  • Per-app volume controls and audio effect plugins
Use Cases:
  • Streaming music from a Mac to multiple rooms with AirPlay 2 speakers
  • Playing computer audio through a TV connected via Apple TV
  • Broadcasting audio notifications or alerts to speakers throughout an office
Alternatives:
  • Audio Hijack – Audio Hijack is for capturing and recording audio on a Mac, whereas Airfoil is specifically for streaming that audio to other devices.
  • AirPlay built-in – macOS's native AirPlay only streams from specific apps to Apple TV, while Airfoil can stream from any app to a much wider variety of devices.
