Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Aarush, a solo developer who built VolumeGlass because the default macOS volume HUD has driven me crazy for years. It pops up right in the middle of your screen in this giant grey box that feels completely out of place on a modern Mac. So I spent 6 months building a proper replacement. It uses CGEventTap to intercept the media keys so the system popup never shows, and replaces it with a native SwiftUI glass overlay. Launching with 30% off today using code LAUNCH30 valid until March 18th. Happy to answer any questions about the app or how it was built!
