Hey Product Hunt!
I built Soundshine because I kept running into that exact moment in the description, and every workaround was embarrassing or painful.
Under the hood it's a virtual loopback audio device (no kernel extensions, no admin fuss) that intercepts your system audio and presents it as a clean microphone input to any app. 48 kHz, 32-bit float stereo. For the technically curious: it's the same concept as tools like BlackHole or Loopback, but purpose-built to be a one-click menu bar utility rather than a full audio routing swiss army knife.
Works on Apple Silicon (M1 through M4) and Intel Macs. Free trial available so you can hear the difference before buying.
Happy to answer any questions below. Would love to know what you're planning to use it for!
