Everyday listening
For audio that is useful, but tiring.
Softer Audio is intended for listening comfort—not mastering, restoration, or medical treatment.
Speech and video
Make podcasts, lectures, and streaming video easier to listen to without editing the source.
Sensitive playback
Apply a consistent amount of softening only to the apps that need it.
A quieter listening workflow
Turn it on. Set the strength. Keep listening.
Softer Audio lives in the menu bar and stays out of the way until you want to compare or adjust the result.
Choose the scope
Process all system audio or remember a selection of running apps.
Set the strength
Use a preset or move continuously from subtle softening to an intentionally obvious extreme.
Compare instantly
Hold Compare Original to bypass processing, then release to return to the softened sound.
Visible feedback
See where the sound is changing.
The live spectrum compares original peaks with processed output. Reduction indicators show which frequency bands are being controlled, while status text distinguishes harshness, sibilance, and peak activity.
Original vs processed
Compare the same frequency bands in one view.
Reduction by band
See where stronger attenuation is active.
Momentary bypass
Use your ears without losing the current settings.
Processing scope
Apply it where you want it.
Select several apps and Softer Audio remembers the choice. If a selected app is silent or closed, processing stays enabled and waits for it to return.
- All system audio
- Multiple remembered apps
- Chrome tabs and audio helpers grouped together

Before you turn it on.
Does Softer Audio record system audio?+
No. Samples are processed in memory in real time and are not saved or uploaded.
Will it work with Bluetooth headphones?+
Yes, with common Bluetooth stereo output. Softer Audio follows the current Mac output device.
Can it process only my browser or media player?+
Yes. Choose one or several running apps, or process all system audio.
What happens when the trial ends?+
Processing stops. Nothing renews or charges automatically; you can choose the one-time lifetime unlock.
Does it support surround output?+
The first release supports common mono and stereo output. It avoids enabling processing on unsupported multichannel formats.
