What it is
eqMac is a system-wide audio equalizer and volume mixer for macOS. Its free tier provides bass, mids, and treble controls along with a fixed 10-band equalizer. AutoEQ can adjust headphone equalization automatically from frequency responses, with 4,600 headphone presets listed. Pro adds unlimited customizable bands, a real-time spectrum analyzer, separate left and right channel EQ, AudioUnit hosting, spatial audio, and per-application volume mixing. The maker says a driver captures system audio and passes it to the app through a secure memory tunnel for processing, and that the driver runs in user space rather than the kernel. Downloads are listed for macOS 10.13 or later on Intel and Apple Silicon. A free HTTP API is listed on the maker’s Spanish product page. Pro also includes remote control from iOS, iPadOS, or Android devices on the same local network. The free plan has no Pro features. Paid access is listed from $1/mo, though the stated Pro subscription price does not specify a yearly price. The public GitHub code corresponds to version 1.3.2 without Pro features; newer releases are developed on a private fork.
