Mic Drop

A tiny macOS utility lets you mute or unmute the system microphone instantly with a configurable global hotkey or a menu‑bar button. It operates at the system level, so the mute state applies to any application—Zoom, Slack, Google Meet, Teams, FaceTime, Discord, and others—without needing per‑app settings.

The app offers optional visual and audio cues, push‑to‑talk or hold‑to‑mute behavior, per‑device controls, and scriptable actions via AppleScript. A Stream Deck plugin and quick‑device‑switching extend its workflow integration, while a menu‑bar indicator shows the current mute status at a glance.

Distributed through the Mac App Store, Mic Drop is a one‑time purchase with a free tier that includes the core mute functionality. It is positioned for users who need a reliable, low‑overhead way to manage microphone privacy during calls, recordings, or any audio‑enabled activity.
