Free GoXLR software for Windows, Linux and macOS.
GoXLR Utility is a community-built app for the TC-Helicon GoXLR and GoXLR Mini. Full routing, mic tuning, profiles and lighting — including on the two platforms the official app never supported.

What the GoXLR app actually controls.
Everything the hardware exposes. The goal of the project is parity with the official application, and in a few places it goes further.
Routing
Decide exactly what your headphones, your stream and your chat app each hear. See the matrix.
Mic chain
Gain, gate, compressor, EQ and de-esser, with live meters so you hear the change as you move it.
Lighting & profiles
Colour every element and save it into a profile — in the same format the official app uses.
Built by people who actually run one.
Every control on the hardware is exposed, and the app stays out of the way while you use it.
MIT licensed, permissive and auditable. Read every line before you install it.
Native builds for Windows, Linux and macOS. macOS support is marked experimental.
Both the GoXLR and the GoXLR Mini, and more than one at a time.
No accounts, no analytics, no phoning home. It talks to your mixer and nothing else.
Whichever one you have, on whatever you run it.
Both devices, all three desktops. Start with the page that matches yours.
GoXLR on Linux
The platform TC-Helicon never shipped an app for. Packages per distro, the Pipewire question, SteamOS and Fedora Atomic.
GoXLR on Windows
Why swap out the official app, the driver order that trips everyone up, and hotkey profile switching.
GoXLR on macOS
Intel and Apple Silicon builds, what works today, and a straight account of what “experimental” means here.
GoXLR Mini
Fully supported. What the Mini shares with the full-size unit, and the five things it doesn’t.
Common questions about GoXLR software.
Is GoXLR Utility free?
Yes. It’s MIT licensed and open source, with no account and no telemetry.
Do I still need the official GoXLR drivers on Windows?
Yes. The Utility replaces the official app, not the driver — install the drivers first.
Will my existing profiles work?
Yes. It reads and writes the same profile format as the official GoXLR App.
Plug it in. It should just work.
