Control Your HEOS Speakers from Mac – Stream, Play, and Manage with Ease Take full control of your HEOS by Denon wireless speakers directly from your Mac with this native HEOS controller app. Stream music, group speakers for multiroom audio, and fine-tune sound settings—all in one place. Key Features: • Automatic HEOS Speaker Discovery – Instantly detects HEOS devices on your WiFi network, no manual setup needed. • Stream Local Music – Play music from your iTunes Library* directly to HEOS speakers. • Full Playback Control – Adjust volume, mute, shuffle, and repeat. • Stream from Online Services – Access HEOS-compatible streaming platforms (availability varies by region). • Fast Music Search – Quickly find songs across supported services. • Multiroom Audio & Speaker Grouping – Synchronize speakers for an immersive whole-home music experience. • Queue Management – View, edit, and play tracks directly from your Play Queue. • HEOS Account Integration – Sign in to access your HEOS Favorites saved on your phone or tablet. Requirements & Notes: • macOS-compatible HEOS app requires incoming network connections enabled in firewall settings. • A standard WiFi or wired network is required—VPN connections may interfere with speaker discovery. * Only DRM-free, locally stored files are supported. Apple Music streaming is not compatible due to DRM restrictions and licensing terms. HEOS is a trademark of D+M Group.

Sticking to HEOS Mobile for now...

Definitely not a $7 app, but a good start. Things I would like to see in future releases:1. Ability to play the music on the actual device I'm streaming from, as well as the HEOS speakers I'm sending the signal to.2. Ability to view/adjust audio quality for apps like Deezer (which DO expose this through thier API). Without either of these features, I will likely stick to using the HEOS Mobile app, which has a lot more functionality.

Hello,Using Mac's speakers as a part of system is not possible due to a HEOS system design and is not listed anywhere as a feature of the Remote for HEOS application.Best regards

This is a good app. I am not sure why but it seems that the app stays active all the time and hence lan up/down activities = 315KB/780kB about every 1 minute interval. Is this really necessary coz if the room or the device is not active then it should not be ping that often. A song is typically ~3 minutes long. Furthermore, since HEOS will enter sleep mode if there is no LAN activity so pinging it will not let it go into the sleep mode, NO?If you can please give this app a active/sleep switch mode so it can stay on the bar and does nothing in sleep mode. I am not listening to music while i am sleeping so it should not be pinging thing if nothing is playing…LOL. If you can give the app a bit of AI by remembering the group/device that is active and then goes into idle mode if no group/device is active would be the best solution. Or the quick way is to give the app The active/sleep mode. The active mode is what it is now and the sleep mode is just sitting on the bar and doing nothing. Quit the app to stop the LAN activity is just too yester-year…NO?Oh, I am using wd mycloud to put my music on a local lan. The app still can only see 100 songs. I know this because due to HEOS playlist limitation, I have folders containing 300 songs each folder and the folder name is the playlist.Cheers

Works great for managing HEOS setup

HEOS is a great alternative to SONOS, and this app really puts the cherry on top. Managing the HEOS setup on a computer rather than iOS is fantastic. I mainly use HEOS for streaming multi-room music. I Have around 10 zones in my house and being able to easily group/ungroup, adjust volume, and pick sources/songs is fantastic. Worth the money in my book. Also appears to be a "reboot speaker" option... which could prove to be extremly helpful when the system is acting up every now and then. Thanks for putting this app together!

Apps have personalities. This Remote for Heos app projects a desire to help and a commitment to simplicity, logic, and usability. (The software from actual Heos/Denon, I find, projects slapdash illogicality and hostility.) So thanks to the developer. It would be great to have a playlist constructor that works the way every other music app in the universe works, to substitute for the way the actual Heos app works, which must have been very cheap to write but is laughable. But keeping the Remote for Heos app working correctly is a higher priority.It wouldn't be possible to sneak a few more radio station streaming services in, would it? Or have a direct link to Qobuz?BTW, as far as I can see this app has all the features the Heos app has, without exception, plus it's possible for the human mind to comprehend the interface, unlike Denon's Heos software. The Heos hardware costs hundreds of dollars, so I don't mind paying a few bucks for this app.

Hello, thank you very much for the review! We will continue to do our best to improve the application. The possibility of adding new streaming services is limited by HEOS APIs, but we will look into this and consider adding it in the future releases. Best regards
