TV Companion turns your TV on when you plug in your Mac and off when you unplug it. Use a TV as a monitor without reaching for the remote. Works with smart TVs that can be controlled over your local network. Supported models are listed at macluckylab.com/tv-companion. WHAT IT DOES - Detects when your Mac connects to or disconnects from the TV - Powers the TV on with Wake-on-LAN and switches to the right HDMI input - Turns the TV off on disconnect, but only if it is still on your Mac's input - Optionally reacts to Mac sleep and wake as well - Keeps the TV volume and mute in sync with your Mac's system volume (on supported TVs) - Menu bar controls: power, input, volume, mute, screen off (on supported TVs) SETUP - TVs on your network are discovered automatically - Pair once by accepting the prompt on the TV screen - The first display you connect is learned, so other monitors are ignored PRIVACY No accounts, no analytics, no servers. Everything stays on your local network. TV Companion is an independent app and is not affiliated with any TV manufacturer.

New in this version - New option to play your Mac's sound on the TV. When the TV's display connects, your Mac wakes or the TV turns on, the sound output switches to the TV, and it goes back to the previous output when the TV goes away. If you pick another output while the TV is connected, TV Companion leaves your choice alone until the TV is plugged in again. Find it in Settings > General > Volume.
