Works with everything on your Mac

Netflix YouTube Max Plex Any browser Any app

An appliance, not a toolkit

No manual mixer, no sliders to fight with, nothing to configure. Pick a mode once and stop reaching for the volume.

🔊

It hears everything

Steady Sound taps your Mac's system audio directly — Netflix, a browser tab, a video call, anything playing.

⚖️

It evens things out

Quiet dialogue comes up. Loud moments come down. Smoothly, automatically, without pumping or clicking.

🎙️

It brings voices forward

A touch of EQ and center-channel emphasis makes speech clearer, even on small laptop speakers.

Three modes. No knobs.

Pick the one that matches what you're doing. That's the whole interface.

Normal

You barely notice it, but you stop reaching for the volume. Movies still sound big.

Clear Voice

Speech is obviously forward, even at the cost of some music and effects. For when everyone mumbles.

$5 a year

No manual mixer, no accounts to manage, no analytics watching you. Just a Mac app that quietly does its job.

A few questions

Does Steady Sound record or save anything?

No. Steady Sound never records or saves your audio. It processes sound live and nothing is written to disk.

What Mac do I need?

macOS 14.2 (Sonoma) or later. Steady Sound uses a newer Core Audio feature that isn't available on older versions of macOS.

Does it work with AirPods and other Bluetooth audio?

Yes. Steady Sound follows your Mac's current output device, so switching to AirPods or headphones mid-playback keeps working.

Can I use it on more than one Mac?

Yes, one license covers up to 3 Macs. Deactivate a Mac you're no longer using from the app's About window to free up a slot.
