Earsafe ๐๐ is a menu bar app for Mac users to prevent hearing loss. It's actually a volume limit app, you can limit the volume of your Mac's output to a certain percentage.
Hey Product Hunt ๐,

๐ฌStory of Earsafe
As Iโm keen on The Vergeโs Youtube content, Iโve come across a video of theirs, which was about how dangerous it is to listen to loud music for long hours through your earbuds. ๐ง
I immediately came up with the idea after watching the video to create a menu bar application, which takes care of your ears and helps preventing hearing loss. ๐
I started digging Google whether something similar exists already or not. I havenโt found any good products. I found only questions about how to limit the Mac's volume on various forums like Reddit, Quora, Apple forum. ๐ง
So I decided to start my journey with implementing Earsafe. ๐
You can find a more detailed story on Hackernoon of why I started working on Earsafe and what I learned along the way. ๐ https://hackernoon.com/i-made-my...
๐ Features:
Set a volume limit from a range of 10% - 80%

Iโd really love to know how can I improve Earsafe and what you think of it ๐โ๏ธ
