MacAppSound – Per-app volume and EQ for Mac

Lets Mac users control volume, EQ and output device for each app individually

Problem

macOS natively lacks per-app volume control or output device routing. Users frequently face browser video too loud, meeting apps too quiet, or wanting music on speakers while meetings stay on headphones. A Product Hunt product specifically offers 'own EQ, volume, and speaker for every Mac app', showing a real niche with willingness to pay.

Solution

A macOS menu bar/floating panel tool that lists apps currently producing audio, lets users set per-app volume, EQ presets and output devices, and saves these as one-click scenes.

Users

Mac users running multiple audio/video apps simultaneously: remote workers, podcast/music enthusiasts, people separating meetings from media.

MVP

Enumerate currently audible apps and show real-time levels; per-app volume sliders; 3–5 EQ presets (voice, music, meeting); assign output device per app; menu bar quick scene switching.

Revenue

One-time purchase (e.g. $9.99–19.99) or 7-day trial + $2/month subscription; distribute via Mac app marketplaces or independent site.

Why now

More people run multiple audio/video streams on Mac (remote meetings + media + AI voice) while macOS still lacks this feature; indie developers can implement it with CoreAudio process taps at manageable complexity.
