Your music, your games, your calls. The way they should sound.
A system-wide equalizer for macOS. A native audio driver intercepts everything your Mac plays and gives you full control: 10 bands, spatial audio, professional presets, and recording. No perceptible latency, no telemetry, free to start.
Works with Sonoma · Sequoia · Tahoe · Apple Silicon + Intel

Four engines. One app.
All processing runs on your Mac, in real time.
System-wide equalizer
Sits between your apps and your speakers, so the same curve applies to Spotify, the browser and your calls.
- 10 parametric bands
- 7 filter types
- Software processing
- No app restarts
Spectrum analyzer
See what you are hearing while you adjust, instead of guessing by ear.
- 4096-point FFT
- 2048 bins
- Hann window
- 160 dB dynamic range
Professional presets
Curves already calibrated for the speakers and headphones people actually own. Start on one and adjust from there.
- Bose, Sonos, JBL, Harman…
- Rock, Jazz, Hip-Hop…
- Gaming, movies, podcasts
- Night profile
Spatial audio
Opens the sound out into a room instead of the middle of your head. Nine spaces, from small room to cathedral.
- Small room → cathedral
- Dry/wet mix 0–100%
- No coloration
- Instant bypass
All the control, in a single window.
Every feature an audiophile would ask for, built into an interface that stays out of your way.
Stereo EQ
Equalize each ear separately. If you hear less on one side, or one speaker sits against a wall, you correct only that channel.
3 EQ modes
Start with three knobs. When you want more, move to ten bands or the full curve.
Volume boost
Go past the macOS ceiling when a video was recorded too quietly. The limiter keeps the sound from breaking up as you push it.
Audio Unit plugins
Use the plugins you already bought outside the studio. Add a compressor and whispered film dialogue becomes audible without riding the volume every scene.
Per-app mixer
Turn the browser down without touching your music. Every app gets its own volume and its own mute.
Global shortcuts
Change preset or mute everything without dropping what you are doing.
Floating window
Lives in the menu bar, or stays on top while you work.
Audio output
Move from speakers to headphones without the audio cutting out, or play to several outputs at the same time.
Virtual microphone
Your voice goes out already equalized on video calls. People hear you more clearly without you changing anything.
Adaptive theme
Follows the macOS light or dark setting without being configured.
Let other programs drive your audio.
A local server inside the app so you can automate it. A Stream Deck button that switches to the night preset, a shortcut that mutes everything when a call starts, or the web panel to control the sound from your phone.

Split any song into its stems.
Isolate vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments right on your Mac. No cloud: your music never leaves your machine.
Record your screen with the audio you can actually hear.
QuickTime does not capture system sound: it records your voice and leaves the rest silent. ZonaReq captures it, because it is already in the path. It records what is playing and your microphone at once, and the editor gets it finished without opening anything else.
Record
A full screen or a single window, at 60 frames per second. System audio and the microphone land on separate tracks.
Edit
A timeline to trim, join and reorder clips. Auto zoom follows the cursor so people can see what you are doing.
Export
H.264, ready to share. The history keeps every recording in case you want to go back to one.
The free version records up to three minutes and the exported video carries a watermark.
Also in Chrome
ZonaReq Recorder: the same auto zoom, inside the browser.
A Chrome extension that records a tab, a window or the screen and zooms in where you click. Free up to three minutes; Pro with the licence you already have.
