macOS has always been missing per-app volume control. VolumeHub fixes that. Control each app's volume independently from your menu bar. Turn down Spotify while keeping Discord loud — no System Settings needed. Built on Apple's native Audio Tap API — no kernel extensions, no audio drivers. Features a 10-band per-app EQ, Focus Audio that auto-ducks apps during calls, live audio meters, and three view modes. 100% private. Zero data collection. Zero tracking. Native SwiftUI.
I built VolumeHub because macOS still doesn't let you control volume per app — something Windows has had for years.
I kept running into the same problem: I'd be on a call and my music would be too loud, or a notification sound would blast through while I was listening to something quietly. The only option was the single system volume slider.
I didn't want to install apps that require kernel extensions or third-party audio drivers just to control volume. So I built VolumeHub entirely on Apple's native Audio Tap API — no hacks, no drivers, nothing sketchy running in the background.
It sits in your menu bar and gives you a per-app volume slider, a 10-band EQ per app, and a Focus Audio feature that automatically lowers other apps when you're on a call.
I'm a solo indie dev, so I'd love to hear your feedback. Happy to answer any questions!
🎉 Launch week special: VolumeHub is just $0.99 on the Mac App Store (normally $4.99). Grab it before the price goes back up!
honestly surprised macOS still doesn't have this built in. i keep spotify pinned in one desktop and slack notifications blast at full volume during focused work sessions. curious about the Focus Audio auto-duck feature - does it detect calls from multiple apps (zoom, meet, discord) or do you manually configure which apps should trigger it? also wondering if it persists per-app levels across system reboots
