soundbrake

SoundBrake sits silently in your system tray, watching your output volume in real time. When you've been listening too loud for too long, it sends a native desktop notification — and at critical levels it automatically lowers the volume to protect your hearing.

Features

Constantly monitors your system output. Tracks cumulative exposure time at each danger level — not just peak loudness.
Three-tier alert system: gentle reminder after 60 minutes at moderate levels, stronger warning at 20 minutes of high volume, automatic reduction at critical levels.
Detects whether audio is actually playing. It won't penalise you for leaving volume at 80% while nothing is playing.
Written in Go. Under 5 MB. Starts with Windows/macOS/Linux. Uses near-zero CPU and memory in the background.
