# ShitMic for macOS

Mac is terminal-only for now:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://shitmic.com/mac -o /tmp/shitmic-install.sh && bash /tmp/shitmic-install.sh
```

There is no Mac app ZIP download right now. We are skipping Apple's approval maze because this is a tiny beta and, yes, we are a little lazy. The installer uses the Python source version instead.

The terminal installer may install:

- Homebrew, if it is missing
- Python 3 and Tkinter support
- BlackHole 2ch for virtual mic routing
- Python audio libraries used by ShitMic
- `~/.shitmic/SHITmic.py`

After install, it starts ShitMic from Terminal. To run it again later, use the command printed by the installer, usually:

```bash
python3 ~/.shitmic/SHITmic.py
```

Use this routing setup:

| Step | Setting |
|---|---|
| In ShitMic | Microphone = your real mic |
| In ShitMic | Virtual output = **BlackHole 2ch** |
| In Discord, OBS, games, or calls | Microphone/input = **BlackHole 2ch** |

If BlackHole does not appear immediately after installation, restart the target app or restart your Mac.
