Turn down Slack
but keep the music

Turny gives every app on your Mac its own volume, output and EQ, right from the menu bar. When a call starts, it turns everything else down for you.

Free for 7 days with everything included. macOS 15 or later, Apple Silicon.

What it does

macOS has one volume slider. Turny gives you one per app.

Open it from the menu bar or a hotkey. Everything you set is remembered per app.

A slider for every app

Turn any app from silent up to 200%. Click an app's icon to mute it. A limiter keeps boosted audio from distorting.

An EQ for each app

Ten bands and eight presets per app. Spoken Word for a podcast, Bass Boost for music, Small Speakers for the laptop.

Quieter during calls

When any app starts using the mic, the others drop to the level you choose. Hang up and they come back.

Lower other apps during calls
Lower to30%
Works with Zoom, FaceTime, or a call in your browser. The app on the call stays at its normal volume.

Its own output

Put the call in your AirPods and the music on your speakers. Each app can play through a different device.

Scenes

Save every app's volume, mute, output and EQ as a scene. Switch from the panel, a hotkey or the Shortcuts app.

Hotkeys for the app you're using

Turn the front app up or down by 10%, mute it, mute everything, or mute everything but it. Pick your own keys.

Shortcuts and scripts

Use Turny's actions in the Shortcuts app: switch scenes, set an app's volume, mute an app, turn call lowering on or off. Or call it from a script with a link.

No audio driver

Turny uses the audio controls built into macOS. There's no virtual sound device to set up and nothing left behind if you delete it.

Your audio stays on your Mac

macOS asks for System Audio Recording access because Turny has to process an app's sound to change it. Turny never records it.

Native to your Mac

A native app that sits in the menu bar and matches the rest of your Mac, down to the Liquid Glass panel on macOS 26 and later.

Questions

Good to know

Which Macs does Turny work on?

Any Mac with Apple Silicon running macOS 15 Sequoia or later.

Why does it need System Audio Recording access?

That's the permission macOS uses for apps that change other apps' audio. Turny processes the sound on your Mac to set its volume and EQ, and never records it. While Turny is controlling an app's audio, macOS shows a purple dot in the menu bar.

What happens when the trial ends?

Turny stops changing any app's audio, so everything plays at its normal volume. Your settings and scenes are kept, and everything comes back as soon as you activate a license.

How many Macs can I use it on?

All of yours. One license covers every Mac you own.

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay $2.49 once and keep it.

Can I control it from Shortcuts or a script?

Yes. Turny adds Shortcuts actions to switch scenes, set an app's volume, mute an app, and turn call lowering on or off. Scripts and launchers can use links like turny://volume?app=Spotify&value=50.

Give every app its own volume.
