Could you build this?
Partial While the menu bar UI is simple, controlling per-application volume without audio drivers or kernel extensions requires undocumented macOS CoreAudio Private APIs and AudioServerPlugIn reverse engineering.
What it would actually take: The frontend is a Swift/AppKit menu bar utility, but routing per-process audio on modern macOS without kexts relies on private CoreAudio Process Tap APIs (introduced in macOS 14.2+) or injecting into system audio daemons. Developers must navigate poorly documented private Apple audio frameworks and handle low-level PCM buffer manipulation and thread-safe audio tap callbacks.
