Breakaway 3

macOS / Musique

Breakaway is your essential audio control sidekick. Need to quickly get up for a second, but headphones are tying you down? Don't waste your focus hunting down the right app to pause, breaking your concentration – just unplug and go! Breakaway automatically pauses whatever you are listening to when you unplug your headphones, be it Music, Spotify, VLC, and many others... even YouTube! You won't miss a beat, nor embarrassingly blast out your tunes in public again! And when you get back, Breakaway conveniently resumes your session when you plug your headphones in, seamlessly picking up right where you left off. Need to quickly mute to respond to someone? Breakaway has you covered there too, automatically pausing on mute and smoothly resuming on unmute, maximizing your productivity.

Breakaway has been trusted by countless Mac users for over a decade, bringing them convenient audio control and improved focus. Breakaway 3 is the latest and greatest version, carefully refined and streamlined for the modern macOS era.
