Mini EQ is a compact system-wide parametric equalizer for Linux desktops using PipeWire.
It provides a GTK and Libadwaita interface for shaping desktop playback audio, with routing handled through WirePlumber and equalization performed using PipeWire filter-chain DSP. The application is focused on a straightforward 10-band fader workflow while still offering more advanced features such as spectrum analysis and Equalizer APO preset import.
This is free and open source software.
