Replaces the flat list of audio settings with a preset picker that shows context-appropriate options based on whether a Bluetooth device is connected. Presets: - Default (Phone Speaker): built-in mic + speaker, standard, mono - Bluetooth Headset (HFP): BT mic + BT output, standard, mono — only shown when a BT device is connected - BT Headphones + Phone Mic: A2DP stereo output + built-in mic, standard, mono — only shown when BT connected - BT Headphones + Stereo Mic: A2DP stereo output + built-in mic stereo (front+back capsules), standard, stereo — only shown when BT connected - Custom: shown when advanced settings don't match any preset When no Bluetooth device is connected, only 'Default' and 'Custom' appear, with a hint to connect Bluetooth headphones for more options. All granular controls (input port, orientation, polar pattern, mic mode, channels, bluetooth mode, output route, AirPlay) are now under an 'Advanced Audio' disclosure group, collapsed by default. IOSAudioRouter gains: - AudioPreset enum with bluetoothMode/captureChannels/micMode/usesBuiltInMic - hasBluetoothDevice detection (checks currentRoute + availableInputs for bluetoothA2DP/bluetoothHFP port types) - availablePresets (filtered by BT connection state) - activePreset (computed from current settings) - applyPreset() (sets all individual settings + finds built-in mic port UID)
VoiceCat
Self-hosted, native voice & text chat in the spirit of classic TeamSpeak / Mumble —
channel-based voice, channel + private text, one server you run yourself. Plain TCP
(control) and UDP (media), no WebRTC. Encrypted by default. A shared C++ core
(libvoicecat) drives native clients (Swift on macOS/iOS, C# on Windows) and the server.
Status: Design complete in
docs/. M1–M5 are implemented — real TLS control plane, encrypted UDP voice (Opus), multi-stream, TOFU identity pinning, channel tree, permissions, moderation, disconnect/keepalive/reaper. Windows WinForms C# client shipped (M4). macOS/iOS Swift client is next. SeePROGRESS.mdanddocs/roadmap.md.

Build
The default development preset is dev — it builds everything (server + tools + tests)
with real vcpkg deps. It works on Windows, Linux, and macOS (vcpkg triplet auto-resolved).
# one-time vcpkg setup:
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg && ./vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh # .bat on Windows
export VCPKG_ROOT=/path/to/vcpkg # Linux/macOS; or $env:VCPKG_ROOT on PowerShell
# configure + build + test:
cmake --preset dev
cmake --build --preset dev
ctest --preset dev # 21 behavior tests
Artifacts land in build/dev/bin/ (voicecat-server, vccli, voicecat-admin).
The skeleton preset (no vcpkg deps, stubs only) is a fast smoke check that needs no
third-party libraries:
cmake --preset skeleton && cmake --build --preset skeleton && ctest --preset skeleton
See docs/building.md for the full preset matrix (including release,
server-release, windows-client, and Apple platform scaffolding).
