Your sound, your volume
Each sound remembers its own level. Set Dark to 30%, Brown to 20%, and move between them without constant readjustment.
Native to your menu bar

Designed to disappear
Quietly capable.
Nullwave stays out of the way until you need it, then remembers exactly how you like every sound.
Three favorites. Right there.
Choose up to three sounds for the menu-bar panel. Reorder them whenever your routine changes.
Preview without disruption
Explore another sound, then stop the preview or leave its page. Nullwave returns to what you were hearing before.
Controllable from the command line
Play, stop, switch sounds, and set Nullwave’s independent volume without launching another copy.

Native, thoughtful, small
A good Mac citizen.
Nullwave is a true native menu-bar app. It launches at login when you ask, uses the system accent color, follows light and dark appearance, and generates audio locally.
- ✓Headset call-mode detectionOptionally pauses when the same device handles input and output, then resumes afterward.
- ✓Generated locallyEvery sound is created in real time on your Mac, with no audio files or loops.
- ✓Independent volumeNullwave never changes your Mac’s system volume.
Make some room to think.
Free, private, and ready for your menu bar. No account required.
