Bose QC Ultra + AI Auto-EQBose QC Ultra control,
right from your Mac.
Switch Quiet, Aware, and Immersion without reaching for your phone. Turn on AI Auto-EQ when you want a track-aware sound profile with more depth.
Switch modes without reaching for your phone.
Bose Music is fine on a phone. It is not where you want to go when you are already working on your Mac. ANCBuddy keeps the everyday controls in the menu bar.
One place for modes, sound, and status.
ANCBuddy puts the Bose controls you actually use in your Mac menu bar, ready while you work, listen, and move between calls.
Mac menu-bar control
A quiet menu-bar icon opens the controls you need: headphone status, battery, listening modes, sound profile, and app actions.
AI Auto-EQ sound profiles
When you turn it on, ANCBuddy reads the current track and applies a visible Bass/Mid/Treble profile shaped for the song.
One-click modes
Switch Quiet, Aware, and Immersion from the Mac menu bar, with immediate feedback while the headphones confirm the change.
Built for daily use
Launch at Login and Check for Updates live inside the panel, so ANCBuddy behaves like the small Mac utility it is.
Private by default
Mode control is direct and local. AI Auto-EQ is opt-in and sends track metadata to ANCBuddy's relay only while the feature is enabled.
"Finally — exactly the menu‑bar app I wished Bose itself shipped. Switching modes from a Zoom call is the killer feature."
"Tiny, native, does one thing well. The kind of mac app I keep paying for."
"Worked first try with my QC Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen."
Made for Bose QC Ultra.
