Volumey

A volume mixer for Windows with global hotkeys for every app and device.

Latest release GitHub downloads Build status


Windows lets you change an app's volume only with the mouse, in a mixer buried in Settings. Volumey gives every app and device its own hotkeys, so you can turn the game down and Discord up without leaving the game.

Features

Hotkeys

  • Any app: turn a chosen app's volume up or down, or mute it
  • Foreground app: control or mute whichever app is in focus
  • Output device: change the volume of the default device or mute it
  • Default device: switch to another output device with one key
  • Media keys: play/pause, previous, next and stop
  • Mixer: open the volume mixer
  • Keyboard or mouse: use key combinations, mouse buttons or the wheel with a modifier
  • Two modes: keep the keys to Volumey, or share them with other apps (handy in games)
  • Your step: pick how much each press changes the volume
▶️ See the hotkeys in action

Hotkeys turn Spotify down and up, mute the output device and switch the default device, each shown by an on-screen notification

Volume mixer

  • Opens from the tray icon or by a hotkey
  • A compact pop-up next to the tray or a resizable window
  • Volume and mute for every app, each of its audio sessions and the output device
  • Level meters that show what's playing
  • Volume lock: keep an app's volume fixed until it closes, or also when it starts again
  • Output device per app: choose which device each app plays on
▶️ See the mixer in action

The mixer opens from the tray, Spotify's volume is locked and the app is moved to the speakers

More

  • On-screen notifications in the corner of the screen you choose
  • Start volume: apps that start at 100% start at your preferred volume instead
  • Volume sync: keep app volumes in step with the device volume
  • Tray icon: scroll over it to change the device volume, choose what a middle click does and pick its icon

The mixer pop-up with an on-screen volume notification above it, in the dark and the light theme

Translations

Volumey's texts live in Volumey/Resources, one Resources.<language>.resx file per language. They are XML files: each <data name="..."> holds one text in its <value>. Keep the name and any {0}-style placeholders as they are.

Fix a translation: edit the <value> in that language's file and open a pull request.

Add a language: copy Resources.en.resx to Resources.<code>.resx (e.g. pl, pt-BR), translate it, add the language to both lists in TranslationSource.cs and to Package.appxmanifest, and open a pull request.
