Mic Audio Level shows your input level in dB right in the menu bar. This can be helpful when you are doing recordings and your input level is unexpectedly set too high or too low. The app automatically detects the default input selected in your Sound settings.

I created this app after ruining two of my YouTube video recordings, realizing afterward that the input level of my mic was way too high. Of course, I had forgotten to check the sound level in the Sound Settings beforehand. I thought, "How do I make sure this never happens again?" And I came up with this little app. I'm planning to add more ways to display the audio level. I'm also open to ideas. And I really hope it will save some of you the trouble of having to redo your recordings!

I always struggled to monitor my mic levels during recordings, but this app makes it effortless. No more adjusting levels mid session.
Finally, something that helped me avoid those awkward moments when the mic is too loud or too quiet. Perfect for Zoom calls!
I'm glad to see a tool designed specifically to prevent common audio issues. This will definitely be useful for many content creators!
I am using other audio monitoring tools before, but the way you’ve integrated this feature into the menu bar seems much more user-friendly.
This app is awesome for me who records audio regularly. Being able to track the mic levels right from the menu bar is super convenient.
Such a useful tool! The feedback has saved me from bad recording more than once. Plus, it's lightweight and doesn't clutter my workflow.
Really digging the menu bar integration. It's such a small thing, but being able to monitor without switching apps is a big plus for me.
