MixBar: Volume Mixer & EQ
Per-app audio & sound control
Give every app its own volume — and its own sound. MixBar is a native menu bar mixer for macOS. Every running app gets a real volume slider, its own output device and its own equalizer, so your music, meetings and browser stop fighting over one system volume. It also includes 4,000+ calibrated headphone EQ profiles. There is no audio driver to install: MixBar uses the audio taps built into macOS, and audio is never recorded or sent anywhere.

Hi - I'm the developer of MixBar, a menu bar mixer I built because I wanted music loud and calls quiet without juggling one system volume. What it does: • A real volume slider per app (0–200%), mute, balance and solo — remembered across restarts • Route any app to any output (headphones, speakers, interfaces, AirPlay), with automatic switching when devices connect • 10-band EQ per app + system-wide EQ • Headphone EQ with 4,000+ calibrated profiles (derived from the open-source AutoEq project, MIT) • Auto-ducking: music dips when a call starts and comes back after • Lock-screen auto-mute, profiles that follow your Focus, global shortcuts, MIDI controller bindings, Apple Shortcuts How it works / why it might be different from what you've tried: • No virtual audio driver and no installer. It uses macOS's built-in Core Audio process taps, so it runs fully sandboxed from the Mac App Store. • Works on macOS 14.2+ and on both Apple silicon and Intel. • Private: no account, no analytics, no network use apart from Apple's purchase check. The "System Audio Recording" permission is only there because macOS requires it for process taps. Nothing is recorded or stored. Pricing: all features free for 7 days, then a one-time $14.99. No subscription, and settings are kept if the trial ends. I'd love feedback, especially on apps that misbehave (games, browsers with many tabs, pro audio apps) and on what's missing.
