Hudlum 1.0

Peter Maurer:

The volume indicator, on the other hand, is most important to me when there’s currently no sound playing, e.g., because I want to confirm my system is muted (or at least not in “yell loud enough to wake everyone in the house” mode) before I start playing a video. And I’d rather do that without having to squint at a tiny slider on a fuzzy-glassy background in an inconvenient spot way outside of my center of attention. A tiny slider on a fuzzy-glassy background in an inconvenient spot way outside of my center of attention, I might add, that doesn’t always update properly when I hit the mute/unmute key.

[…]

Enter Hudlum, the nostalgic retro HUD-style system volume indicator for dinosaurs[…] As silly as it may seem, this helped me make peace with macOS 26.

waitwhat, LiquidAssOS removes the volume HUD overlay when you tickle the volume up / down keys?

I can't even...

Anyway, this is definitely on my list of things to buy *if* I go to LiquidAssOS; I have Moom and Menuwhere, and use them all the time. Many Tricks are the gold standard for "fix the Mac's shortcomings" developers.


...also Name Mangler, which I use a lot. Another brilliant app.


Instabuy, thanks for sharing!
