MiniMeters is a simple standalone audio metering app for Windows, macOS, & Linux.
Monitor your System Audio*, Any Input, or insert the MiniMetersServer Plugin** (VST3/AU/CLAP) at the end of your master channel in the DAW of your choice.
Customize the layout in a horizontal bar (perfect for above or below your audio tool of choice) or pop out modules to create a custom layout.
* Not supported on all systems. See the system audio capture support table below.
** MiniMetersServer does not have the visuals, but rather sends the audio into the standalone application.
