Mic Drop • Mute Manager

macOS / Utilitaires

Ever been in a video call and needed to turn off your microphone, but couldn’t find the mute button quickly enough?

Mic Drop allows you to quickly mute and unmute yourself using a keyboard shortcut or a menu bar control. It works with every meeting app out there—from Zoom to Slack, FaceTime to MS Teams.

It also shows your mic status in a menu bar icon, so you'll always know at a glance whether you're muted or not. And it lets you (un)mute yourself even if you don't have your meeting app open.

### Features:

- A custom keyboard shortcut that works in any app.
- Works with every app and (almost) audio device out there.
- Automatically keeps you muted (or unmuted!) if you change audio devices.
- Supports push-to-talk and push-to-mute.
- Shows your microphone status in the menu bar.
- Quick microphone switching from the menu bar.
- Free 30 day trial of pro features.
- Warns you if macOS can’t mute your device. Be confident you’re really muted!
- Respects your privacy. Mic Drop never records you and does not require microphone permissions.

Because Mic Drop mutes your audio at the system level, it works with any app you can imagine. We’ve tested with:

- Zoom
- Slack
- Google Meet
- Microsoft Teams
- Skype
- Discord
- FaceTime
- and many more!

It just works. No matter where you’re meeting, Mic Drop’s got you covered.

### A note on hardware compatibility:

Mic Drop works with just about any audio device out there, but some audio devices can't be muted by macOS, so Mic Drop can't control them. All bluetooth and wired headphones work—it's just some niche USB audio interfaces that Mic Drop won't mute. Mic Drop will warn you if it detects an incompatible device. A list of problematic devices are listed on our support page.

* Fixed a bug that caused users on macOS Ventura to experience a crash on launch.
* macOS Sequoia 15.0-15.1 did not allow keyboard shortcuts with only the "Option" key. This is fixed in macOS 15.2 and up, so Mic Drop now supports Option key shortcuts in Sequoia again.
* Fixed a bug that caused Fast User Switching to keep the mic unmuted when restoring a user session.
* Fixed a bug that caused devices to appear multiple times or appear when they shouldn't.
