Everything Potar does with your sound.

An output and a volume for every app, in a native macOS menu. All free, no account.

Where the sound goes

  • One output per app

    Speakers, headphones, AirPods, display: every app plays on the output you pick, all at the same time.

  • Two outputs for one app

    “Also on…” sends the same app to a second output, say the speakers and the headphones.

  • Everything to one output

    The icon next to “App volumes” sends every app to the same place, in one click.

  • Main output

    Change your Mac's output from the menu by clicking its row.

  • Automatic fallback

    Unplugged your headphones? The app carries on on the active output at the same volume, then switches back as soon as they return.

Volume

  • A volume per app

    A slider for every app, independent of your Mac's volume. Double-click to reset it to 100%.

  • Up to 200%

    For an app that's too quiet. No clipping: only the peaks are softened.

  • Volume for each output

    Every output has its own slider at the top of the menu, AirPods included.

Silence

  • Mute

    Silence an app in one click. Potar's menu bar icon gets a slash to remind you.

  • Solo

    Hear just one app, with the S or a double-click on its icon. The others come back when the solo ends.

  • Mute everything

    One key in the HUD mutes or unmutes every app.

From the keyboard

  • The ⌥⌘V HUD

    Hold the shortcut: V moves from app to app, ↑↓ sets the volume, M mutes, S solos, ↵ changes the output. Let go and it closes. Mouse and scroll wheel work too.

  • Your own shortcuts

    Change the HUD shortcut and its keys in Settings → Shortcuts.

Media and browsers

  • Now playing

    The current track, play, pause, previous and next, right in the app's row: Music, TV, Spotify, VLC, QuickTime.

  • Browser tabsbeta

    Turn on “Separate tabs” in Settings → Browsers: YouTube, Spotify web and the rest become separate sources as soon as they play, with their own volume, mute and output when the browser allows it.

Every day

  • Settings remembered

    Every app gets its output and volume back when it returns.

  • Search and hide

    Type a name to find an app or an output. An eye on hover removes what you don't use from the mixer.

  • Launch at login

    Potar starts with your Mac, if you like.

  • Automatic updates

    They install on their own when nothing is playing, and a notification tells you what's new.

  • Nothing else to install
