Which systems are supported?

Requires macOS 14.4 or later. Check the store listing for the latest requirements and version information.

Can I adjust an external display’s volume?

Yes. Better Volume uses software volume for HDMI or DisplayPort outputs without native volume control. System audio recording permission is required. Compatibility depends on your device and audio output.

Why is audio recording permission required?

The app uses system audio interfaces to adjust volume in real time. Audio stays in memory; no recordings are saved. Read our Privacy Policy.

Where can I download it? What requires Pro?

Use “Get the app” to visit the store. Basic per-app volume is free; some advanced audio settings require Pro. See our pricing and feature comparison for the planned direct edition; store pricing is shown in the App Store.
