macOS Touch Bar and Menu Bar App to mute/unmute the default microphone
Important
This app only mutes or unmutes the currently selected default audio input device on your Mac.
If you use an external device, you must set it as the default input device in System Settings → Sound for this app to work.
- A single tap or click on the Touch Bar or Menu Bar icon toggles between mute and unmute.
- Right-clicking the Menu Bar icon opens settings for the default unmute volume.
- This volume will always be applied when unmuting.
- If you change the input volume via System Settings, the app will overwrite it.
- Clicking the gear icon opens additional options for a global keyboard shortcut, autostart, and a quit button.
