It’s ironical, considering that I’ve reviewed much more complex apps that didn’t have a Help module. SoundBunny has its own dedicated Help menu.

And then there’s the Software Updates tab where you can tell SoundBunny to automatically check for newer versions of itself on an hourly / daily / weekly / monthly basis, as well as to automatically download any future update made available by the gents at Prosoft Engineering.

A second tab holds the Ignore List which, as its name implies, allows you to select and deselect items that you want SoundBunny to index as default (complete with a user-defined list).

You get a set of General tweaks which basically let you toggle between a grayscale and a color appearance of the app’s menubar icon (along with the option to show / not show SoundBunny in the menubar altogether).

SoundBunny is as simple and intuitive on the outside as it is on the inside.

Sure enough, SoundBunny hopped to the rescue by giving me the option to have Mail’s sound notifications delivered to me in a minimalistic manner. For instance, I always want to hear when Mail has something new for me, even in my free time, but I don’t want the alerts to break my chill-out sessions either. SoundBunny lets me tone down some annoying notification sounds. When I’m listening to a radio station while browsing the web, it’s easy to slide iTunes to mute and hit play on YouTube to watch a short clip, then slide the iTunes volume back up as the clip ends.

You get some visual feedback from those apps that are currently outputting sound (in my case, iTunes) in the form of an orange gauge. It’s the bunny effect that lets you know how much volume you’re getting out of each app. Don’t freak out if you hear some bouncing going on in the background. These allow you to control the volume of each app, individually. You’re presented with this straightforward interface where all your open applications are nicely arranged, each with its own sound slider.

It’s all smooth sailing after the imposed reboot as you install SoundBunny. Sometimes the simplest pieces of software leave such a good impression that one simply must do a writeup and spread the word.

A tool that Mac OS X sadly doesn’t offer out-of-the-box, SoundBunny allows you to set the volume high for a movie or game you're playing, and set the volume low for your alerts and notifications, and so on.
