Mixwell

Privacy

Last updated: November 2026

Mixwell is a Mac app that changes the volume and output of other apps. It is built to work on your Mac with as little data leaving it as possible.

Audio

To change an app's volume, Mixwell receives that app's sound through macOS's "System Audio Recording" permission and plays it back at the volume you chose. This happens in memory, on your Mac. Audio is never recorded, stored, analysed or sent anywhere.

What Mixwell sends over the internet

• License checks. When you activate, Mixwell sends your license key and your Mac's name to our payment provider, Dodo Payments, so you can see and manage your activations. About once a week, when online, it sends the license key and activation ID to confirm the license is still valid.
• Update checks. Mixwell periodically downloads a small update feed from our website to see whether a new version exists. Like any web request, this reveals your IP address to the web host; the request carries your app version and macOS version.

Mixwell has no analytics, no tracking and no advertising, and it doesn't collect which apps you use or how you set them.

What stays on your Mac

Your per-app volumes and output choices are stored in Mixwell's preferences on your Mac. Your license is stored in your macOS Keychain.

Purchases

Payments are handled by Dodo Payments, which acts as the merchant of record. When you buy Mixwell, Dodo Payments processes your name, email, billing details and payment information under its own privacy policy. We receive your email address and order details so we can provide support and refunds.
