AirPods are great when they're on. Continuity Microphone helps some setups. My day looks different: Watch already on, Mac already open, no appetite for another Bluetooth device mid-call.
Ferry is a small experiment that treats the Watch as a system-wide Mac microphone. Capture on watchOS, stream to the Mac, present as a real input so Zoom and Voice Memos just work.
The hard parts aren't the demo path: they're battery, latency, and sample-rate mismatches after an OS update. If the Watch dies by lunch because you used it as a mic, the idea failed.
I'm not replacing a studio mic. I'm using the mic that's already on my wrist.
