A FineTune alternative from the Mac App Store
SoundDial is a FineTune alternative for Mac users who want a per-app volume mixer installed and updated through the Mac App Store.
FineTune is a per-app audio project for the Mac that many people find through GitHub. If you like the idea but would rather install a mixer the same way you install the rest of your apps, through the Mac App Store with automatic updates, SoundDial is built for that.
What SoundDial does
- A slider for every running app, from 0% to 200%
- A mute button per app
- Lives in the menu bar, out of the way until you need it
- macOS 14.2 or later
Why the Mac App Store matters to some people
Installing from the Mac App Store means one place for purchase and updates, no separate download or installer to manage, and the purchase is tied to your Apple Account, so you can reinstall it on your other Macs.
If you are comfortable building or installing apps from GitHub and FineTune does what you need, there is no reason to switch. This page is for people who would rather not.
Price
SoundDial is a €14.99 one-time purchase. No subscription. For FineTune's current license, price and features, check its project page; we do not repeat claims about other projects that we cannot keep up to date.
Switching from FineTune
Quit FineTune before you start SoundDial, so only one tool changes app audio at a time. Install SoundDial from the Mac App Store, open it from the menu bar, allow the audio permission macOS asks for, and set each app's slider. For removing FineTune itself, follow the steps on its project page.
