Command-line tool (Mac)

Ember Noise for Mac ships a bundled embernoise helper inside the app. Everyday mixing stays in the window and the menu bar. Agents and advanced users can put that helper on PATH and talk to a running Mac app from Terminal.

Put the helper on PATH

For a normal Applications install, paste this into Terminal:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin && sudo ln -sf "/Applications/Ember Noise.app/Contents/Helpers/embernoise" /usr/local/bin/embernoise

macOS will ask for an administrator password. The command creates /usr/local/bin if needed and links embernoise onto PATH.

If the app lives somewhere else, replace the quoted path with the helper inside that bundle: …/Ember Noise.app/Contents/Helpers/embernoise.

After the link is in place

Run:

embernoise guide

That prints an orientation for agents: the command list, selectors, and how to talk to the Mac app. The helper stays tied to this installed copy of Ember Noise. If you move the app, run the install command again with the new path.

The helper is a Mac feature. iPhone and iPad do not ship it.

See Ambient sound mixer for Mac for the native window, menu bar, and system playback controls.
