## What it is
Volume² is a freeware Windows application that replaces the standard Windows volume control with an advanced one supporting mouse wheel, screen-edge, and hotkey volume adjustment, plus customizable OSD and tray skins. The GitHub repository hosts only the open-source portion (language files and skins), while the main binary is distributed via Microsoft Store, Steam, Chocolatey, and the author's site.

## Use cases
- control windows volume with mouse wheel
- replace default windows volume mixer
- set keyboard hotkeys for volume control
- customize volume osd skins
- schedule volume changes or app execution
- adjust volume by moving mouse to screen edge

## When to choose
- you want finer-grained or more convenient volume control than Windows provides
- your keyboard lacks media/volume keys
- you want skinnable on-screen volume display
- you need per-schedule volume or sound configuration changes

## When to avoid
- you are on a non-Windows platform
- you need fully open-source software (core binary is closed source)
- you only need basic volume control already built into Windows

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: gui, cli
- domain: desktop-applications, developer-tools, media, windows
- platform: windows
- tags: volume-control, audio-mixer, hotkeys, osd, skins, freeware, desktop
