SoundDial
A volume slider for every app on your Mac.
macOS has one volume for everything. SoundDial gives every app its own — right in your menu bar, with an equalizer, its own output device and automatic ducking during calls.
Download on the Mac App StorePer-app volume, 0–200%
Turn Spotify down during a Zoom call, boost a quiet video in Chrome past 100% — every app gets its own slider with a live level meter. The system volume stays where it is.
Works with every app
Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Spotify, Music, Zoom, Discord and Electron apps. Helper processes are grouped under the app they belong to.
Per-app equalizer
10 bands and 11 presets — Bass Boost, Vocal, Podcast, Late Night and more — plus left/right balance for each app.
Output per app
Play music on your USB DAC while calls stay on your headphones, at the same time.
Auto-ducking during calls
When a call starts in Zoom, Teams, FaceTime, Webex, Slack, Discord, Skype, WhatsApp, Telegram or a browser, other apps get quieter — and come back when the call ends.
Profiles, shortcuts, automation
Save your whole mix as Work or Late Night and switch in one click. Control-Option-S opens SoundDial; Shortcuts actions and sounddial:// links work with Raycast, Alfred and Stream Deck.
Made for DACs
Switch output devices, change the sample rate and get a software volume for DACs and audio interfaces without their own volume control.
Guided setup
Walks you through the one macOS permission and confirms that everything really works — in 34 languages.
Private by design. Pay once.
Audio is processed on your Mac in real time — nothing is recorded, stored or sent anywhere. No account, no analytics, no internet connection. One purchase on the Mac App Store, every update included.
Requirements
macOS 14.2 (Sonoma) or later and the macOS “System Audio Recording Only” permission — the guided setup explains each step.
