Sound Manager

Take control of sound on your Mac without digging through system settings. Sound Manager lives in the menu bar and shows you which apps are playing audio, so you can adjust volume and mute per app, route each app to the right speakers or headphones, and keep your setup organized when you plug in new devices or switch to Bluetooth.

Whether you are juggling a video call, music, and a game at once, or you simply want Spotify on your desk speakers and Zoom in your headset, Sound Manager makes it simple, clear, and fast.

Experience the full power of Sound Manager with a 3-day free trial on our monthly and yearly plans.
