Set your forward direction

Calibrate to your head, including a tracker mounted at an angle. See the corrected orientation and adjust drift correction when needed.

Enable the receiving app’s OSC input and check its port and orientation mapping. Compatibility depends on the receiver’s configuration.

AirPods can keep playing.

HeadTrack OSC reads headphone motion while AirPods remain available as your Mac’s playback device. Audio stays in your listening app.

AirPods need to support headphone motion on macOS. The app does not route audio. Head tracking is separate from the receiver’s rendering and playback latency.

Clear controls. Local processing.

The app keeps settings on your Mac and sends orientation to the OSC destination you choose. No account, advertising or analytics service.
