Zoundry product demo
The problem
macOS gives you one volume slider. Zoundry gives you one for every app.
Apple's macOS lets you pick a single output device at a time. Switch to your AirPods and everything follows: your Zoom call, your Spotify playlist, your YouTube tab in Chrome. There's no native way to lower just one app, or send a single app to a different output.
Without Zoundry
- One master volume for every app
- One output device at a time
- Mute the whole Mac to silence one ping
- Digging through System Settings to switch devices
With Zoundry
- A separate slider for every app
- Each app to its own speakers or headphones
- Quiet one app, keep the rest untouched
- Every device in one menu bar panel
Zoundry is the per-application volume control for Mac that should have shipped with macOS.
Try it
Feel it before you download it
This is a simulation. Drag a slider, tap an app's output to send it somewhere else, or pick a new default device. That's the whole idea.

Simulation. Nothing here makes sound, the real app does.
Features
Everything your Mac's audio was missing
Route each app to a different output
This is the feature macOS has never offered. Send Chrome to your AirPods Pro, Safari to your headphones, and Spotify to your MacBook speakers, all at the same time.
Every audio device in one menu
AirPods, MacBook speakers, Bluetooth headphones, USB-C headsets, external DACs: all in one panel. Switch your default output with a single click. Skip System Settings entirely.
Per-app EQ and L/R balance
Shape bass, mid, and treble for each app individually, and nudge its stereo balance left or right, with a snap back to center. Dial in Music without touching Zoom.
Save and switch sound presets
Save any EQ setup as a preset, like Bass Boost or Vocal Boost, then switch between them per app in one tap. Build your own from scratch, or start from the built-ins.
Control every microphone, per device
Built-in mic, USB interface, or a virtual input like a stream mixer: pick and adjust any of them from the same panel, no more digging through System Settings.
Lives quietly in your menu bar
One click to open, one click to close. No dock icon. No floating windows. No distractions. Zoundry stays out of your way until you need it, right where a Mac utility should live.
Native, lightweight, Apple Silicon first
Built natively for macOS Tahoe on Apple Silicon. Minimal CPU, minimal memory. Maximum control.
Automate it with Shortcuts & scripting
Set or check any app's volume from Siri, the Shortcuts app, Alfred, Raycast, or Terminal. No setup, no toggle, it just works.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Zoundry?
Zoundry is a per-app audio mixer for macOS that lets you set the volume of each app independently and route each one to a different audio output device. It lives in your menu bar and replaces the missing per-application audio controls in macOS.
How is Zoundry different from the built-in macOS sound settings?
macOS has one system volume and one output device at a time. Zoundry adds an independent volume slider for every app and lets you send each app to a different output device at the same time.
Can I send different apps to different speakers or headphones?
Yes. Route each app to its own output, for example Chrome to AirPods Pro, Safari to headphones and Spotify to your MacBook speakers, all at the same time. An app can even play to two devices at once.
Does Zoundry have an equalizer?
Yes. Every app gets its own 3-band EQ (bass, mid, treble), an L/R stereo balance control, and saveable sound presets such as Bass Boost and Vocal Boost.
Can I control Zoundry with Siri, Shortcuts, Alfred or Raycast?
