What’s new

What every version brings

Ekhio updates itself: the app checks once a day and tells you. This is the written record of what changed in each version.

Rules, per-app volume and your headphone curves

  • Rules on a board. One list read top to bottom: the first that applies wins. Drag them to change the order. Above it all, «Where it plays»: each output sets the profile it starts with, and rules take over on top while they apply.
  • When a call comes in, everything else ducks. It doesn't pause: it drops to 0, 20 or 40 % and ramps back up over three seconds when you hang up. You pick it in the rule itself.
  • Per-app volume, like a mixer. One channel per app with its meter and fader, a master that moves them all, and the scroll wheel to adjust without dragging.
  • Your headphone curves, from the public database. Search your model among 8,850 measured ones. One row per model with all its measurements, the industry rig marked, and before using it you pick measurement, target and strength. It stays as another preset.
  • Auto-tune, step by step. Permissions, volume cap, positions and measurement, one at a time, showing what the mic is hearing.
  • Settings in tabs. General, Appearance, Shortcuts, Outputs, License and About, with ⌘1 through ⌘6. Shortcuts can now be changed: click the key and press the new combination.
  • The equalizer, as a desk. Profile combo, ⌘K search, preset chips along the bottom and the ridge of what is playing behind the curve.

The first one

  • A 32-band equalizer for the whole system. No driver: it rides on the process taps in macOS 14.4. Audio goes through the filters and out; nothing is stored or uploaded.
  • It switches itself. Join a call and it sets Voice; hang up and music is back. By app, by output and by time of day.
  • It measures your room. With the Mac's mic, from several positions, and corrects what the room does to your speakers.
