track macOS default\n- **Sound effects routing** — Route system alerts, notifications, and Siri to a specific device\n- **10-band equalizer** — Fine-tune your sound with 20 presets across 5 categories\n- **Real-time VU meters** — Visual feedback for audio levels\n- **Volume boost** — Amplify quiet apps up to 400%, click percentage to type exact value\n- **Quick device switching** — Change output devices instantly with smart reconnection handling\n- **Settings panel** — Launch at login, 4 menu bar icon styles, configurable default volume and max boost\n- **App launcher** — Click any app icon to bring it to front\n- **Persistent settings** — Your preferences survive app restarts\n\n## Installation\n\n### Homebrew (Recommended)\n\n```bash\nbrew install --cask finetune\n```\n\n### Manual Download\n\n**[Download from GitHub Releases](https://github.com/ronitsingh10/FineTune/releases/latest)**\n\n## Why FineTune?\n\nmacOS has no built-in way to control volume per application. You're stuck with one master volume for everything — your video call is too quiet while your music is too loud, or a game drowns out your podcast.\n\nFineTune gives you the control that should have been there all along:\n\n- **Individual volumes** — Turn down Slack notifications without touching your music\n- **Audio routing** — Send your video call to headphones while music plays on speakers\n- **Quick EQ** — Boost bass or apply presets without third-party audio plugins\n- **Free \u0026 open source** — No subscriptions, no freemium limitations\n\n## System Requirements\n\n- macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later\n- Audio capture permission (prompted on first launch)\n\n## How macOS Audio Control Works\n\nFineTune uses macOS Core Audio process taps to intercept and modify audio streams before they reach your output devices. This allows precise control without affecting the source applications.\n\nThe app runs as a lightweight menu bar utility, only processing audio for apps you're actively controlling.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n**App not appearing in the list?**\nOnly apps actively playing audio will show up. Start playback, then check FineTune.\n\n**Volume slider not working for an app?**\nSome apps use helper processes for audio. Try quitting and reopening the app.\n\n**Audio permission prompt?**\nFineTune needs audio capture access to intercept app audio. Grant permission in System Settings → Privacy \u0026 Security → Audio Capture.\n\n**No sound after selecting a device?**\nVerify the device is working in System Settings → Sound. Some USB/Bluetooth devices need a moment to initialize.\n\n**Audio glitches or crackling?**\nThis can happen with high CPU load. Close unnecessary apps or check if another audio app is conflicting.\n\n## Build from Source (Developers)\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/ronitsingh10/FineTune.git\ncd FineTune\nopen FineTune.xcodeproj\n```\n\nSelect your development team in Signing \u0026 Capabilities, then build and run (Cmd+R).\n\nSee [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for development guidelines.\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome!
