JoyMix is a per-app sound mixer for Mac, tucked into the menu bar. Set volume, mute, and audio routing for each app separately — send YouTube to the speakers while Zoom stays on AirPods, mute Slack without quieting the music, and boost a quiet podcast past the system maximum. Switch microphones or outputs from the same popup, no detour through Sound Settings. One click in the menu bar, then back to work.
Mute Slack while Spotify keeps playing
Send YouTube to speakers, Zoom to AirPods
Switch mic or speakers from menu bar
Boost a quiet podcast past 100%
JoyMix features
Mix every app independently
Each app gets its own volume slider and mute. Slack quieter than Spotify, Zoom muted while a podcast plays, system sounds tucked down to a polite background — set it once, JoyMix remembers next time the app starts.
Send each app to its own output
Route any running app to any speaker, headphone, or virtual device. YouTube on the desk speakers while Zoom stays on AirPods. Apps you haven't redirected keep flowing to your system default like always.
Switch input and output from the menu bar
Pick the active microphone, system output, and the device for system sounds — without diving into System Settings. Each one's a single click in the same popup.
Boost quiet apps past 100%
When an app is just too soft no matter how high you turn the system, JoyMix lifts it above the maximum with built-in protection so the sound doesn't break or distort. Up to 4× the gain, per app.
Doesn't touch what you haven't changed
Apps you haven't customized run through macOS untouched. JoyMix only steps in for apps you've actually set up — slide a volume back to 100%, route back to default, and that app behaves exactly like it would without JoyMix installed. No surprise to the sound, no extra battery hit.
