Ready to Meet
Ready to Meet
Because nobody wants to spend the first five minutes of a meeting saying, “Can you hear me now?” Ready to Meet checks your speaker, microphone, camera, and internet connection from the menu bar — before you join.
Ready to Meet lives quietly in your menu bar and runs real tests against your actual hardware — not a guess, not a simulation. Play a test tone through your speaker, record and play back your microphone, start a live camera preview, and confirm your internet and conferencing sites are reachable. All of it stays on your Mac.
A quick click from the menu bar covers your hardware, your connection, and your schedule.
Play a test tone or a classic ring through your chosen output device and watch the level meter confirm it's actually coming through.
Record five seconds and play it straight back through your speaker, so you hear exactly what everyone else is about to hear.
Start a live preview — with an optional mirrored view — before you ever join a call, so lighting and framing are sorted in advance.
Confirm you're online and that Zoom, Webex, Google Meet, Teams, and GoTo Meeting are reachable — before you need them, not during.
See your next seven days straight from Apple Calendar, with one-click Join buttons for the meeting links Ready to Meet recognizes.
A quiet local notification before each meeting — choose 1, 5, 10, or 15 minutes — gives you just enough time to run your checks.
Keep up to five time zones alongside your own, searchable by city or region — handy when a meeting spans continents.
No Dock icon, no clutter. Click once to open, run your checks, and get back to your day — with an optional countdown right in the menu bar.
Ready to Meet doesn't have a server, so there's nothing for it to collect. Your calendar is read directly from Apple Calendar on your Mac and never leaves it. Microphone and camera tests play back locally and are never saved or uploaded anywhere.
The only network activity is a handful of small reachability checks — to Apple and to the specific conferencing sites you choose to enable — just to confirm they're up. Read the full Privacy Policy for details.
A calmer way to start every call, built for the Mac menu bar.
System Requirements: macOS 26 or later.
Camera, microphone, and calendar access are requested only when you use those features.
