Could you build this?
Partial A menu bar UI and per-app settings are approachable, but per-app volume and output routing on macOS requires low-level CoreAudio work, such as process taps or a virtual audio driver. Vibe coding alone can't reliably produce that.
What it would actually take: A real version needs Swift and CoreAudio code that captures each app's audio, applies gain and effects, and routes it to chosen outputs, using newer process-tap APIs or a virtual audio device. The hard part is low-latency, stable audio routing across macOS versions and devices, which takes audio systems expertise and extensive testing.
