## What it is
eqMac is a macOS system-wide audio equalizer and volume mixer application built with Swift and CoreAudio. It provides bass/mid/treble and multi-band EQ, volume boosting, per-app volume control, and headphone AutoEQ presets, with some advanced features gated behind a Pro version.

## Use cases
- equalize system-wide audio on macOS
- boost volume beyond 100% on any output device
- control volume per application like on Windows
- apply headphone frequency-response correction presets
- adjust bass, mids, and treble for all system audio
- fix volume balance on HDMI or Bluetooth devices

## When to choose
- you want a GUI equalizer that processes all macOS system audio
- you need per-application volume mixing on a Mac
- you want to boost or balance volume on HDMI, Bluetooth, or USB audio devices
- you want automatic headphone equalization from AutoEq presets

## When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform equalizer for Windows or Linux
- you want to process audio files offline rather than live system audio
- you need fully open-source software, since newer releases come from a private fork
- you need input-device effects like microphone or guitar processing, which are still on the roadmap
