VolumeHub

Per-app volume control for macOS with no driver installs

Website volumehub.app
Overview

What it is

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.

Intent

I need it when

Control app audio with minimal system overhead and privacy concerns

VolumeHub uses Apple's native Audio Tap API with zero kernel extensions, no background processes, and collects zero data—no analytics, telemetry, or network requests. All processing stays local on the Mac.

Customize audio output for specific applications using equalization

Pro mode unlocks a 10-band equalizer (32 Hz–16 kHz) per app with 17 built-in presets (Music, Voice, Correction, Spatial) and ability to save custom presets, letting users shape each app's sound independently.

Switch audio output devices quickly without navigating system settings

Output device picker in the menu bar popover allows one-click switching between connected audio outputs, eliminating need to dig through macOS System Settings.

Monitor which applications are producing audio and at what volume in real-time

Live audio meters display real-time visualization of which apps are producing sound and their volume levels. Three view modes (Compact, Comfort, Full) let users choose detail level that matches their workflow.

Manage multiple app audio levels simultaneously during video calls or work sessions

VolumeHub lets users adjust each app's volume independently from 0–100% via menu bar sliders. Focus Audio auto-ducks other apps when a call is active, keeping conversations clear without manual adjustment.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User runs Windows or Linux; VolumeHub is macOS-only (requires macOS 14.2 Sonoma or later)
  • User needs per-app volume control on older Mac hardware; requires Apple Silicon or Intel Mac with macOS 14.2+
  • User requires audio recording or transmission capabilities; VolumeHub processes audio in real-time only without recording or storing
  • User operates on macOS versions earlier than Sonoma 14.2; Audio Tap API is not available
  • User needs system-wide audio driver control; VolumeHub uses native Audio Tap API and does not support kernel extensions or third-party drivers
