Welcome to Airfoil

Airfoil enables you to send audio from your Mac to remote speakers all around your house. Stream to thousands of different outputs, including hardware like the Apple TV, Google Chromecast, and Bluetooth devices, as well as iOS devices, Macs, and PCs with the free companion Airfoil Satellite apps.

Airfoil can send audio from individual sources, rather than being forced to transmit all of your Mac's audio. Stream music from apps like Spotify, as well websites like Pandora. You can even stream from hardware audio devices like USB radios or microphones. It's your audio, everywhere.
