A 10-band equaliser that processes every app on your Mac in real time. Pick a preset, drag the curve, or paste your audiogram and let EQer calculate the right listening curve for your hearing.

Music, video calls, podcasts, games—everything sounds the way you want it to, with smooth processing you won’t notice until you turn it off.

Equaliser

  • Interactive 10-band graphic equaliser (31 Hz–16 kHz)
  • 22 built-in presets for all types of music and tastes
  • Drag-to-adjust chart for custom curves
  • 0.5 dB snap grid for precise adjustments
  • ±12 dB gain range with automatic clipping prevention

Audiogram

  • Enter hearing thresholds for 8 standard freqs (250 Hz–8 kHz)
  • Copy and paste audiogram data as TSV, CSV, or XML
  • More precise data can be copied from iOS Health app export.xml
  • Gains calculated using the audiology-grade processing
  • Adjustable compensation strength: full, medium, or low
  • Visual EQ curve shows exactly how your audio will be adjusted

Per-App Control

  • See every app currently producing audio

  • Right-click to reset any app back to global defaults

Output Devices

  • Bypass EQ for specific output devices

Dynamic Range Compression
