Settings

hyperwave is configured entirely from its menu-bar item — there is no settings window. What the menu controls:

Six visualisers render the same audio: Bars (the default), Mirror (thinner bars grown from the centre line, with a spring-driven overshoot), and four more. Switch any time; the strip re-renders in place.

What the visualiser listens to — the system’s global audio mix by default, or a specific application when you want to isolate one app’s output.

On notched MacBooks the menu bar can push status items underneath the camera housing. hyperwave detects this and offers a notch panel: clicking the strip (what little of it shows) or the panel opens a fuller view of the same visualisation.

  • “System Audio Access…” — always present; grants the CoreAudio capture permission. If the bars are flat while audio plays, start here
  • Open at Login — hyperwave registers itself at login by default
  • Quit — the strip removes itself immediately
