ToneRelay Privacy
ToneRelay is a local Windows audio utility. It uses your PC audio so it can play through the selected HomePod or HomePod mini.
Audio
ToneRelay captures the current Windows default output only for playback to the selected speaker. It is not a recording app.
- ToneRelay does not save your raw audio during normal playback.
- ToneRelay does not require an account for the first setup.
- ToneRelay does not need cloud sync to play audio on your local network.
Local network
ToneRelay needs local network access so the Windows PC can find and play to the HomePod or HomePod mini in your home or office.
