goui

goui lives in the menu bar. One click opens the panel you know from the browser. It tunes Music, Spotify, a call or a game the same way, all at once.

The headphone, ear and taste layers carry over, with Bass, Vocals and Treble. So do the AutoEQ search and the live spectrum. The sound runs through the EQ on your Mac, in a native audio engine. goui keeps none of it.

Your Sets carry over too. Right-click the menu bar item to switch to another Set, with the panel closed. goui set "name" does the same from Terminal.

It starts at login and comes back on its own after a crash. If the sound stops, it builds its audio path again.

A headphone has its own colour. AutoEQ measures it and writes a profile that cancels it, so the headphone sounds neutral. That is the headphone layer.

Your hearing is your own too. No profile can know it. An EQByEar test measures what your ear still wants on top of the neutral sound. That is the ear layer.

Your taste is the third layer, with bands of your own for the sound you like on any headphone. Bass, Vocals and Treble nudge the sound on top of all three layers. Each layer has its own switch, so you can hear AutoEQ alone in one press.

The layers add up in dB, so the merge is exact. The preamp follows the largest boost, so the sound never clips.

A Set names one preset for each layer, with the sliders. Pick it on Listen. The whole sound comes back in one press. An edit to a preset reaches every Set that names it.
