SOUND
Per-app sound control, right from your menu bar. Give each app its own equalizer, volume, and speaker — private, native, no account.
Free · Requires macOS 26 · No account needed
Your Mac has one volume.
Now it has an EQ for everything.
Shape each app.
An 8-band equalizer for every app playing sound — 63 Hz to 8 kHz, ±12 dB — plus a System master for everything else.
Choose its output.
Route an app to the system output or pin it to a specific speaker. Music on the good speakers, calls in the headset.
Volume, per app.
Turn one app down without touching the others. No more racing to mute a tab.
Presets that travel.
Start with Flat, Bass Boost, Vocal, Podcast, and Bright — or save your own. Custom presets sync across your Macs via iCloud.
See your sound.
A live spectrum glow and a BPM readout show what's playing in real time — and stay quiet when nothing musical is.
One switch for everything.
Flip processing off and every app plays untouched. SOUND steps aside completely.
Your audio never leaves your Mac.
SOUND processes sound locally, in real time. It doesn't record, store, or upload what you listen to — and there's no account to create.
Under the hood.
- Engine
- Real-time per-process audio taps with an 8-band peaking-filter cascade, processed with Apple's Accelerate framework.
- Design
- Native SwiftUI with the macOS Liquid Glass design language — including accessibility fallbacks for Reduce Transparency and Increase Contrast.
- Updates
- Signed, notarized builds that update themselves in the background. Download once, stay current.
- Requirements
- macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later. No account, no extra hardware.
