What eqMac is

eqMac is a system-wide audio equalizer and volume mixer for macOS. Its free tier provides basic bass, mids and treble controls alongside a fixed 10-band equalizer. AutoEQ can automatically equalize headphones using frequency responses, with 4,600 headphone presets listed. Pro adds customizable EQ bands, a real-time spectrum analyzer, separate left and right channel EQ, AudioUnit hosting, spatial audio and per-application volume mixing. Pro also enables remote control from iOS, iPadOS or Android devices on the same local network. The maker says its driver captures system audio and passes it to the app for processing through a secure memory tunnel; the driver runs in user space rather than the kernel. The download supports macOS 10.13 or later on Intel and Apple Silicon. A free HTTP API is listed on the maker's Spanish product page. The free plan excludes Pro features and includes community support. Paid access is listed from $1/mo, while the Pro subscription page does not state a yearly price. Public GitHub code corresponds to version 1.3.2 without Pro features; newer releases are developed on a private fork.
