The mixer gets out of your way.

01

Hotkeys that follow you

Recall an entire volume preset from any app, even while duckd’s main window is hidden.

One mixer, every app

See active audio streams together and tune each application to exactly the right level.

Sensible preset defaults

Set a fallback level for unlisted streams, then override only the apps that matter.

Quietly tray-resident

Close the window and keep every shortcut ready from a compact system-tray tool.

05

Config you can read

Your setup lives in a clean TOML file—human-readable, local, and easy to version.

Portable by design

Import or export your configuration to back it up or move your presets to another machine.

All signal. No noise.

A focused, terminal-inspired interface for presets, live streams, and the settings behind them.
