Master Audio Control for macOS

Every app at its own volume.

Music at 30%, calls at 100%, the browser at 50%. Set it once — right from your menu bar. Native, fast, and private. No kernel extensions, no cloud.

Sound familiar?

One volume for everything is not control.

  • Spotify drowns out your Zoom calls
  • Game sounds blast while you're streaming
  • YouTube ads wake up the whole house
  • No easy way to control app volumes separately
MACA solves this in one click.

Individual volume control for every app — right from your menu bar. Native, fast, and beautifully simple.

Questions

Everything you might ask.

See all questions →

How is MACA different from the macOS volume control?

macOS only gives you one system-wide volume — turn everything up or everything down. MACA gives every single app its own volume, EQ and output device, controlled from the menu bar.

Does MACA collect my data?

No. MACA does all processing locally on your Mac. There's no account, no cloud, no tracking and no telemetry inside the app.

Which macOS versions are supported?

MACA requires macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later and a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer).

Does MACA use kernel extensions?

No. MACA is built entirely on native macOS audio APIs — no kernel extensions, no audio drivers, nothing injected deep into your system.

What's free and what's Pro?

Per-app volume and mute for all your apps are completely free and unlimited — no account, no app limit. Pro unlocks per-app audio routing, the 10-band equalizer, the normalizer, unlimited profiles and the Local Control API.

What's the difference between the subscription and the lifetime option?

Same Pro features either way. The subscription ($2.99/month or $19.99/year) is the flexible choice; Lifetime ($39.99) is a single payment with no subscription and all future updates.

Take control of your Mac's audio.

Free to start. No account. No cloud. Just your sound, exactly how you want it.
