VolumeKeeper is a Windows app that remembers your volume settings for each application. Set your music player to 30%, your browser to 60%, and VolumeKeeper will remember and restore these levels automatically.
Ever adjust an app's volume perfectly, only to have it reset when you restart it? VolumeKeeper solves this problem by:
- Watching for volume changes in your applications
- Remembering the volume levels you set (when you "pin" them)
- Restoring those exact levels when applications launch again

VolumeKeeper.exe - VolumeKeeper will appear in your system tray (look for the icon near your clock)
- Open an application that plays sound (music player, browser, game, etc.)

- Click the Pin button (pin icon) next to the application
- That's it! The volume is now saved
Click the pin button to save an application's volume level
The app will show "Pinned: XX%" below its name so you know it's saved.
Once pinned, the slider automatically updates the saved volume whenever you move it. You don't need to click the pin button again - just move the slider and VolumeKeeper will remember the new level.
When auto-restore is enabled (it is by default):
- You pin a volume for an application
- Next time that application launches, VolumeKeeper automatically sets it to the pinned volume
- Check the activity log to see when volumes are restored
You can turn auto-restore on or off with the toggle switch in the Home tab.
Enable or disable auto-restore with a simple toggle
The Home tab shows all your applications with audio:
- Application icon and name - Visual identification of each app
- Pinned volume display - Shows if a volume is pinned and what level
- Volume slider - Adjust volume (0-100%)
- Mute button - Speaker icon to mute/unmute
- Pin button - Pin icon to save the current volume
- Refresh button - Updates the list of applications
- Auto-restore toggle - Enable/disable automatic volume restoration
The Logs tab shows everything VolumeKeeper does:
- When volumes are changed
- When volumes are pinned or unpinned
- When applications launch and volumes are restored
- Any errors or important messages
Use the Clear Logs button to start fresh, and enable Auto-scroll to always see the latest activity.
Real-time activity log showing all volume changes and events
The pin button has smart behavior:
- Not pinned yet? Click to pin the current volume - from then on, moving the slider will automatically update the saved volume
- Already pinned at this volume? Click to unpin (remove the saved setting)
- Pinned at a different volume? Click to update to the new volume (though you can also just move the slider, which updates it automatically)
Click the speaker icon next to any slider to mute or unmute that application. VolumeKeeper remembers the volume before muting, so unmuting restores it perfectly.
