为什么值得关注

它填补了 macOS 只能设置全局音量的空白,通过实时刷新的列表帮助用户快速找到正在发声的应用,解决日常烦扰。

适合谁使用

  • 拥有多个音频来源的 macOS 用户
  • 需要精细音频控制的专业人士(如开发者、播客主)
  • 希望静音后台应用但不影响游戏音效的游戏玩家
  • 对 macOS 缺少系统级混音器感到不满的用户

典型使用场景

  • 静音单个浏览器标签或视频通话,同时保持其他应用出声
  • 将某个音量过小的应用提升至系统最大音量以上
  • 快速定位并前置正在播放音频的应用
  • 独立调节音乐播放器、通讯工具和游戏的音量

项目优势

  • 每个应用提供音量滑块(0–2 倍)、静音开关和跳转按钮
  • 菜单打开时自动刷新应用列表,无需手动刷新
  • 开源(MIT 许可),在 GitHub Actions 上透明构建,用户可审查代码
  • 轻量级解决 macOS 缺失的常用功能

使用前须知

  • 未经签名或公证(需要通过终端或系统设置一次性解除隔离标记)
  • 需要麦克风权限(用于合法音频捕获,不录音)
  • 仅支持 macOS,无跨平台版本

README 快速开始

Voulum

Per-app volume control for macOS, from your menu bar.

macOS lets you set one system volume — but not the volume of each app. Voulum adds the missing mixer. It also answers the daily annoyance behind it: "which of my thirty open windows is making that sound?"

Click the menu-bar icon and you see every app currently playing audio. Each one gets:

  • 🔎 a jump button — bring that app to the front so you can find the sound
  • 🔊 a volume slider — from mute, through normal, up to 2× boost
  • 🔇 a mute toggle — silence one app without touching the rest

The list updates itself while the menu is open — no refresh needed.


Install

Voulum is not signed with an Apple Developer ID or notarized (that costs a paid Apple account). macOS therefore treats it as "unidentified" and will refuse to open it on the first try. This is expected — here's the one-time workaround.

  1. Download Voulum-vX.Y.Z-macos.dmg from the latest release and open it.

  2. Drag Voulum.app onto the Applications shortcut in the window.

  3. Clear the quarantine flag so macOS will run it. Open Terminal and run:

    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Voulum.app
    
  4. Open Voulum from Applications. Look for the 🔊 icon in your menu bar.

Prefer not to use Terminal?

Double-click the app. macOS blocks it. Then go to System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click "Open Anyway" next to the message about Voulum. Confirm once. (On older macOS you can instead right-click the app ▸ Open ▸ Open.) The Terminal command above is the most reliable method.

First use

  • Audio permission. The first time you change an app's volume, macOS asks for permission to capture audio (that's how per-app volume works under the hood). Click Allow. Voulum remembers this — it won't ask again. You can review it later in System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Microphone.
  • Launch at login. Toggle "Launch at login" at the bottom of the menu to have Voulum start automatically. macOS remembers the setting across reboots.

FAQ

Is it safe / what's the audio permission for? Voulum uses Apple's official Core Audio "process tap" API to intercept an app's audio and play it back at your chosen volume. macOS classes that as audio capture, so it asks permissio
