Screenshots

This app is an easy companion for your Sonos system. It will rest in your menu bar and it contains easy controls to change the volume of your speakers, pause the current song or skip to the next song. When you are done with the changes to your music, the app disappears out of your view. This allows you to focus on what you are doing. With macOS Shortcuts integration you can now create rich automations and combine tasks in the Menu Bar Controller any other Shortcut. All Features: • Access all features through an icon in the Menu Bar • Group rooms in your household • Play music from your Sonos favorites / Sonos playlists • Shows current song and artist • Change the volume of every individual speaker • Keyboard shortcuts for several interactions • Use the media buttons on your keyboard • Apple Shortcuts integration • Mute speakers and groups • Skip to the next song or play the previous song • Automatically start the app when you start your Mac • Voice Over Support for visually impaired users • Apple Script support for Apple Automator • Light and Dark Mode support • Touch Bar integration • Now playing integration • Detects when the Menu Bar is overfull and shows a hovering icon • Set a sleep timer This app requires you to login with your Sonos Account. It does not allow to stream music from your Mac to a Sonos speaker (please use AirPlay for this). Use the official Sonos Controller App if you need all features. This is not an official app by Sonos Inc. Sonos is a trademark of Sonos Inc.

    better than advertised
    I wrote the text below last time I was prompted, all of which remains true. I would add only that the developer keeps adding useful features, so this app gets better! This is super convenient, and does exactly what is says on the tin: you can control some aspects of your Sonos system with a convenient menu bar tool. I'm quite impressed with the interface for grouping and ungrouping speakers and with the interface for controlling the volume for the group and for individual speakers in the group, well done. At first I was bummed that it only lets you choose music from your Sonos Favortires, but after using it, it makes a lot of sense and also is much less of an issue than I thought. Have a Sonos system? Have a Mac? There is no reason not to get this. It does what it says with a clever UI and no troubles at all after a few months of using it. Show more

    Absolutely deserves its high rating
    This is the most reliable and fastest working Sonos app for me. It's much more convenient, too: the UX is perfect, sitting at the top of the screen. It feels like it starts up nearly instantly, and lets me immediately take control of whatever my Sonos speakers are doing. Show more

    It definitely makes my day nicer
    While you can alt-tab to Sonos and use their wonky interface, MBC4S is great if you mainly live out of your favorites list. Otherwise, you need to pop over to Sonos and root around for what you want. The main improvement I'd like to see is song notifications when Sonos isn't running. This is the main reason I run the Sonos app these days. Show more

    Just What I Needed
    The controller app from Sonos is too much, and not enough at the same time. This app gives me just what I need for 95% of my interactions with my Sonos system (play, pause, change station, mute). Show more

    Access to Spotify
    I'd like to be able to search on Spotify.

    Exactly what's needed. More reliable than Sonos app.
    Does exactly what it says, lets you control volume, play, etc., from the menu bar. Way more useful than the Sonos App, which regularly fails and still won't work with Ventura. This app works fine. My only gripe is the name—I wish the "Sonos" came first so that I could find it more easily. Show more

    Sonos needs to hire this developer or buy him out
    Anyone with a Sonos sytem (even if it's just a single speaker) and a Mac needs this little menubar app. I rarely use the actual Sonos Mac app b/c 90% of what I play is my Sonos Favorites and this app gives me complete control of that. I'm amazed how much a single developer has iterated on this app, making it better and better with each version. Keep up the *great* work. Show more
