Made for Android phones in Apple homes

Bridge Audio is built around the everyday HomePod experience: choose a room, start your music and return to your favorite speaker from your Android home screen.

Your music app stays your player. Bridge sends playback audio over Wi-Fi to your selected speaker, while Android notifications keep stream controls close at hand.

Make your favorite room the default

Save a favorite speaker for widget reconnect. Choose it as your default in settings and enable auto-connect when you open Bridge. Your usual listening room is ready without browsing the speaker list every session.

While Bridge is open, your phone’s volume buttons adjust speaker volume. Optional notification access adds now-playing context when your music app provides it.

Start listening in three steps

Connect both devices to your home Wi-Fi, open Bridge and choose your speaker. Approve Android’s playback-audio prompt, then press play in your music or podcast app.

Start free with a 3-minute stream in the same app. Unlimited listening unlocks with one Google Play purchase. You do not need a Bridge account or an Apple Music subscription.

Hear your HomePod before you unlock

Select your speaker and use Bridge’s built-in speaker test to play a free test sound. It stays available after the 3-minute trial ends, so you can check your receiver without buying first.

If you hear the test sound, try your usual music or podcast app during the free stream. The test checks the speaker route; playback capture also depends on Android and your player. Bridge shows when no audio is captured, and silent captured audio does not use free trial time.
