Accessible alternative controller for Sonos products on macOS

By Manuel, 18 June, 2022

macOS and Mac Apps

Hi everyone,
As the subject already tells, I'm searching for an accessible alternative controller application for macOS in order to control my Sonos products. The iOS and Windows apps work very well but the Mac app isn't really accessible with VoiceOver. The only thing you can do is to control the volume slider and a few EQ settings. Therefore, I need an alternative application. Maybe anybody knows about an alternative and can recommend it here. Or does anyone of you have direct contacts to the Sonos accessibility team? I've already written a mail to them but never got an answer yet.

Great weekend!

Menubar controller for sonos

By Piotr Machacz

It’s made by the same person as the “Lid” app for the Apple Watch, and much like that app VoiceOver support is excellent.

Unfortunately it doesn’t let you browse the music catalogs like the official app, but if you set up some favorite playlists and radio through the iOS app you can use this to start any of them. It also lets you control playback and volume through global hotkeys (COmmand+the usual function keys that control media), toggle repeat and shuffle and group speakers.

Hi again,
I just bought the application and it's absolutely fantastic! I'm now able to control my radio stations or favorite playlists directly from my Mac! Many thanks!
