Ferry
An open-source experiment that turns an Apple Watch into a system-wide Mac microphone: capture on the Watch, stream to the Mac, and present as a real audio input for calls and voice notes.
Your Watch. Your Mac microphone.
Ferry explores using an Apple Watch as a microphone for a Mac, with the output presented as an audio input rather than confined to one recording app.

Inside the project
Implementation
The existing project record describes Swift, watchOS, macOS, and Core Audio work across capture, transport, and system input. These are the three boundaries that distinguish it from a simple voice-note recorder.
The workflow
- Capture audio on the Watch
- Stream audio to the Mac
- Expose the stream as a system audio input
Scope & status
An experiment. The repository was not returned by the current public inventory, so compatibility, latency, installation, and release readiness are not newly verified here.
