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.
