Make your Mac
8× louder.

Short -Vlume is a macOS menu-bar app that makes your Mac up to 800% louder. When the system volume maxes out and it's still too quiet, Vlume pushes system audio far past the limit with a real limiter that keeps it clean. No kernel driver, no subscription.

Long -macOS caps how loud your speakers can go, which leaves a lot of MacBooks frustratingly quiet for movies, calls and music. Vlume lifts that ceiling - boosting system audio up to 800% (8×) - while an always-on limiter tames peaks so it gets dramatically louder without turning to mush. It's built on Apple's modern Core Audio process-tap API, so unlike older boosters there's no kernel extension, no restart and no admin password. Vlume also includes a six-band equaliser and multi-speaker output, runs quietly in the menu bar, and is a one-time purchase (£39) with a 3-day free trial - no subscription.
