Questions

macOS asks to allow audio recording. Why?

That’s the permission macOS uses for any app that adjusts other apps’ sound. Volumeboard uses it only to change volume live. Nothing is recorded or saved. You can review it in System Settings › Privacy & Security, under screen and system audio recording.

An app isn’t in the list.

Apps appear while they play sound. Start playback in that app and it shows up, or turn on Show apps that aren’t playing in Settings.

Boosted sound seems flattened.

Above 100%, a built-in limiter keeps loud moments from crackling, which can make very loud sources sound squashed. Lower that app’s slider a little.

Can I send one app to different speakers?

Yes. Click the … button at the end of that app’s row and choose an output, for example music to your speakers and a call to your headphones. Reset to normal in the same menu undoes it.

How do I get a refund?

Apple handles App Store refunds. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Do I have to pay again on another Mac?

No. Sign in to the App Store with the same Apple Account on your other Mac and download it from your purchases.

Privacy

This app does not collect, store or share any personal data. Everything it does happens on your device, and nothing is sent to us or anyone else. There are no ads, analytics or tracking. To change an app's volume, macOS asks your permission to route that app's sound through Volumeboard. The sound is adjusted live in memory and is never recorded, saved or sent anywhere.
