Manual — Download latest release

1. Install FineTune and launch it from your Applications folder
2. Grant Screen & System Audio Recording permission when prompted
3. Click the FineTune icon in your menu bar. Apps playing audio appear automatically.

That's it. Adjust sliders, route audio, and explore EQ from the menu bar.

Tip: Want FineTune to auto-switch to a specific device when you connect it? Open edit mode (pencil icon) and drag it above the built-in speakers. This is a one-time setup. Your preferred order is saved permanently.

• Per-app volume — Individual sliders and mute for each application
• Per-app volume boost — 2x / 3x / 4x gain presets
• Pinned apps — Keep apps visible in the menu bar even when they're not playing, so you can configure volume, EQ, and routing in advance

• Audio routing — Send apps to different outputs or follow system default
