Mic Drop 3.0
Universal macOS mute manager with AirPods integration.
What it does
• Mutes and unmutes microphone audio at the system level globally across any application like Zoom, Slack, and Teams. • Toggles audio states instantly via custom keyboard shortcuts, menu bar controls, or a squeeze of AirPods stems. • Displays a floating status window and audio notifications to confirm active mute or unmuted states clearly. • Integrates with Stream Deck hardware plugins and supports automated AppleScript workflows for power users.
Why it works
System-level muting architecture ensures compatibility with every audio application without requiring individual app integrations. AirPods stem-squeeze and global shortcut support eliminate the need to hunt for software mute buttons. One-time purchase model removes recurring monthly software fees for essential productivity tooling. Lightweight native code execution maintains minimal system resource usage on macOS.
