MUTE MY MAC NOW! macOS control window showing the muted microphone state

The whole point

The state is always where you need it.

Live is white. Muted turns pink, with a slash through the mark and a ring around it. The menu-bar icon reflects the real device state, including changes made by another app.

One tap

Click the menu-bar mic or open the window and tap the control. Your selected default input device changes state.

Read it at a glance

The label, icon, slash, and pink ring stay in sync, so you know whether you are live without hunting through a call.

Nothing to set up

No account, no preferences pane, no subscription, and no licence key to keep track of.

See it in action

Quietly useful. Always within reach.

It lives in your menu bar, so the window is optional. The shortcut is 🌐 Fn + F5, and the menu keeps everything simple: launch on start, start muted, report a bug, or quit MUTE MY MAC NOW!.

The short version

The Only Button You Need!

MUTE MY MAC NOW! does one thing: it turns your microphone off and on. It does not record, store, or transmit microphone audio. App Store distribution manages updates.
