Get started

Volsetter has two parts: the iPhone app and a small free app in your Mac's menu bar.

1. Download the Mac app below, unzip it and move Volsetter.app to Applications. Open it: its icon, a V with sound waves, appears in the menu bar.
2. Install Volsetter on your iPhone. It is in beta on TestFlight and coming to the App Store.
3. In the Mac's menu bar choose Pair iPhone… and scan the code with the iPhone.

The iPhone app needs iOS 18 or later. Both devices must be on the same network. Without a Mac at hand, tap Try the Demo in the iPhone app to see how it works.
