Saved on this device only. eqMac's prompt has no phases yet, so this is the generic delivery order.

Before step 1

you will need

macOS with Xcode and a Swift toolchain
BlackHole (or another virtual audio device) installed, e.g. via Homebrew
Willingness to set your system output to the virtual device and let the app do the routing
Microphone/audio permissions granted to the app
Basic tolerance for a few ms of added latency

Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done when
The project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
next step
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done when
The main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
next step
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done when
Bad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
next step
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done when
The highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
next step
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done when
A fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.

what this build does not replace

A first-party, notarized audio driver: you are borrowing someone else's virtual device instead
Automatic output-device following, so plugging in headphones means switching things by hand
Very low latency and rock-solid handling of sample rate mismatches and hotplug events
Extras like per-device presets, balance control, and a curated preset library
Updates, crash fixes, and someone else's problem when a macOS point release breaks audio
