SherlockEQ 0.2.0

The first feature release since 0.1: Listening Comfort — level-dependent processing that shapes sound only while it needs it, instead of permanently re-tuning the curve. Soften a harsh "sss," ease shouty midrange, or lift dialogue over a score — each engages when the triggering sound is present and relaxes when it's gone. Per ear, zero added latency, and the peak limiter stays the ceiling over any boost.

Added

  • Listening Comfort panel. A new sidebar section with three named, preconfigured processors — Speech Presence, Harshness Control, and Sibilance Tamer. Each is just an on/off, a Strength slider, and a Sensitivity slider, with a live activity meter showing how much it's working in the moment. Independent per ear, with the same Separate L/R switch the rest of the app uses.
  • Adaptive, level-independent triggering. Each processor measures its target band against a slow rolling average of that band, so it behaves the same on a quiet podcast and a loud movie — no SPL calibration required. Sensitivity sets how far above that average it reacts; Strength sets how much it does.
  • Dynamics overlay on the Expert canvas. A new Dynamics layer chip draws each active processor's response live, moving under your static EQ curve, so you can watch the comfort tools engage against the spectrum in real time.

Changed

  • Reference Mode and the chain bypass now cover the comfort tools. Reference Mode (⌘B / the title-bar toggle) drops the Listening Comfort stage along with the rest of the chain, so your A/B is still a true comparison against the unprocessed source. A dedicated per-stage toggle lets you turn the comfort tools off while keeping your EQ, headphone correction, and notch active.

Fixed

  • Menu-bar popover lingered behind the main window. Opening the full app from the popover now closes the popover instead of leaving it floating in front of the window.

Not a medical device

SherlockEQ is not a healthcare or medical application. It does not diagnose, treat, measure, or monitor any hearing condition, tinnitus, or disability. The Listening Comfort tools shape audio for comfort and clarity — they are not a hearing aid. For concerns about your hearing, consult a doctor, audiologist, or licensed healthcare professional.
