What is AppVol?

AppVol puts a volume slider and mute for every running app in your Mac's menu bar, so you can turn one app down without touching the rest — quiet a noisy browser tab while a call stays loud, or balance music against a game.

It uses macOS Core Audio process taps, so there is no virtual audio driver to install and nothing to route. Real VU level meters show each app and the master at a glance, and you can switch the output device right from the panel.

Hide apps you don't care about, drag to reorder, and it remembers your settings between launches. Free, signed & notarized, and it updates itself in-app. Requires macOS 14.2 or later.
