Yes. Phonecast is a normal audio output on your Mac, so anything that plays audio can use it: Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Final Cut Pro, a browser, the system itself.

Over USB, latency sits near the phone's own hardware floor, tight enough for instant A/B checks against your monitors. Wi-Fi adds a small safety buffer to stay glitch-free.

No, and that is the entire point. Lossless 48 kHz stereo PCM, nothing of ours added. The only color you hear is the phone speaker being brutally itself, which is exactly what you came for.

Yes: there's no cloud and no telemetry, and USB never touches the network at all. Wi-Fi streaming is TLS-encrypted, and only your own devices can connect: the encryption key comes from your account, so a Mac and an iPhone signed in to the same account pair themselves. On shared or public Wi-Fi, prefer USB.

No. Try it free for 7 days, then pay $29 once and own it. No subscription, no tiers, no "pro" upsell later. The iPhone companion app is free.

For Wi-Fi mode, yes. Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network. Your Mac finds your iPhone using Bonjour, which never crosses networks. Hotel, office, and guest networks usually isolate clients from each other and will block it even when both devices look connected to the same name. That is what the USB cable is for: it always works, and it has the lower latency anyway.

Yes, 7 days. Downloading and installing costs nothing, and the trial unlocks everything. Starting it needs a card, which is charged $29 once on day 7 unless you cancel before then on your account page. Those 7 days are your window to decide: once the $29 is charged, the sale is final.

Drag Phonecast from your Applications folder to the Trash, then remove the audio driver, which lives outside the app and needs your Mac password. Open Terminal and paste this one line:

sudo rm -rf /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/Phonecast.driver && sudo killall coreaudiod

Your sound blips for a second and "Phonecast" disappears from Sound settings. If you plan to use your license on a different Mac, open Phonecast and click Sign out first, or free the slot later from your account page. Your license is not affected either way, and you can reinstall any time.
