Start with the problem
Many Mac users do not need a full audio-routing studio. They just want to turn one app down, mute another, and leave the rest of the system alone.

Where Mixbar fits
Mixbar focuses on the everyday case: a lightweight menu-bar control for individual app volume and mute. It does not install a separate audio driver, and it does not try to replace every advanced audio workflow.
- Per-app volume from the menu bar
- Per-app mute
- Native universal build for Apple silicon and Intel
- Direct signed and notarized DMG

Which tool should you choose?
If you need advanced routing, capture, equalization or studio-style device management, a larger audio utility may be the better fit. If you mainly need independent app volume in a small native utility, Mixbar keeps the job focused.
