Real-time SPL
Continuous A-weighted level at 10 Hz, exponentially smoothed for a stable readout. The same chain feeds dose, calibration, Leq, and the Lyra integration.
Live menu bar
Show a live SPL number right in the menu bar - dBA, dBC, or alongside the dose icon - for an at-a-glance reading without opening the popover.
Pinnable panel
Detach the measurement display as a floating window that stays above your DAW. Pick which sections to keep - dose, SPL, Monitoring Discipline, Leq / Ln, today's summary. Uses Liquid Glass on macOS Tahoe.
Target-level calibration
A pink-noise wizard pins your monitor controller to a specific dBA target. Captured calibrations record the knob-position note, target value, and measured SPL. One record per output device.
Monitoring Discipline
Tracks how consistently you actually monitor at your chosen reference. Live on-target % chip in the menu bar, with a green / yellow / orange ladder and a three-segment under / on / over bar.
Monitoring alerts
Opt-in notifications when your level drifts (rolling 30-min Leq vs session baseline) or sustains a deviation off target. Independent snooze per category.
Lyra integration
After a target-level calibration, hand the position straight to
Lyra with a single click. Your calibrated level becomes one keystroke away.
Hearing dose
Accumulates your daily exposure using the NIOSH formula. The Pressure Bloom in your menu bar reflects both live SPL (arc count) and today's dose tier (colour) at a glance.
Leq & Ln stats
Rolling Leq over 1, 10, and 30 minutes plus L10 / L50 / L90 percentiles - describe the character of a session at a finer grain than instantaneous level.
Mic correction
Compensates for your measurement microphone's frequency response so the SPL reflects the room, not the capsule. Per-mic profiles can be saved and recalled.
Peak monitoring
C-weighted peak impulse tracking per EU Directive 2003/10/EC. Notifies you when levels cross the 135 / 137 / 140 dBC action values. Per-session and daily counts.
Instantaneous peaks
Tracks A-weighted instantaneous peaks above 115 dBA - the EU Directive 2003/10/EC ceiling for any single moment of exposure. Counts per session.
Session tracking
Auto-detects when you open a DAW and starts a session. 15 DAWs supported out of the box - Luna, Logic, Pro Tools, Ableton, REAPER, and more. Manual start and end also available.
Session history
Per-session dose contribution, average and peak SPL, peak impulse counts. Seven-day bar chart shows weekly EU L_EX,w exposure level at a glance.
Shareable reports
Every session generates a one-page PDF - SPL chart with monitoring-discipline shading, stats grid. Opens from the history menu or session-recap notification.
History window
A dedicated window to explore any date range - cumulative dose, daily average, EU weekly L_EX,w, peak dBA / dBC, and impulse counts. Each stat has its own explanation popover.
Conservative mode
Optional setting that uses max(dBA, dBC) for dose accumulation. Designed for bass-heavy work - sub-mixing, kick tracking, live sound.
Input channel selection
Pick any individual input channel - a talkback mic, a dedicated measurement input, or a specific channel on a multi-channel interface like the Apollo Twin X. Channel names are read from the driver.
Non-invasive
Lives in the menu bar. Measures passively via any CoreAudio input device. Nothing touches your signal chain.
Universal binary
Ships as a universal binary - runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs (macOS 14 Sonoma or later).
