Description

FineTune is a free and open-source macOS audio mixer that finally brings per-application volume control to Mac, something macOS still doesn’t offer natively.

You can control the volume of each running app independently, route apps to different output devices, apply a built-in 10-band equalizer, and boost quiet apps, all directly from your menu bar.

It’s lightweight, privacy-friendly & designed to feel like a feature macOS should have shipped with.

Use Cases

  • Lower notification sounds without muting music
  • Route calls to headphones while music plays on speakers
  • Boost quiet apps without affecting system volume
  • Apply quick EQ presets without extra audio plugins
  • Manage audio instantly from the menu bar

Privacy & How It Works

  • Audio is processed locally
  • No data leaves your system
  • Only apps actively producing sound appear in the list
  • Runs as a lightweight background utility

Running AI models locally usually means dealing with Python environments, dependency conflicts, model downloads, and complex tools like ComfyUI. Amuse got you covered if you don't want any hurdle of spending hours configuring workflows, you install the app, pick a model, and start generating. The software automatically handles its own isolated Python environment while providing a clean desktop interface for image generation, video creation, speech recognition, voice synthesis, upscaling, interpolation, and AI-powered editing. It acts more like a local AI studio, bringing together popular image, video, audio, and text models under one interface.

DeepSeek GUI: Local AI Coding Assistant, Agent Workbench & DeepSeek Desktop App

DeepSeek has become one of the most popular AI models for coding and technical work, but using it often means juggling browser tabs, API keys, terminals, and separate tools. DeepSeek GUI is made to solve this problem. Instead of treating DeepSeek like a chatbot in a browser, it turns it into a desktop workspace. You can work on code, write documents, create implementation plans, review changes, manage long-running goals, and even run background tasks without bouncing between half a dozen applications. Under the hood is Kun, a local runtime designed to keep agent sessions organized and make better use of context. It focuses on reducing wasted tokens, reusing cached prompts, and exposing tools only when they're actually needed. The result feels like having a dedicated workspace built around DeepSeek. Projects, plans, reviews, writing, and automation all stay connected.
