The ultimate macOS mute manager is back. Toggle your mic across Zoom, Meet, and Slack instantly using a global shortcut, menu bar icon, or a simple squeeze of your AirPods. Now faster, lighter, and packed with AppleScript support.
Hello again Product Hunt! 👋
We’re Sarah and Matt, and we built Mic Drop because we were tired of frantic clicking trying to find the mute button during video calls. Today, we're incredibly excited to share version 3.0 with you all!
This version launches with a feature we've heard users request over and over: AirPods Press to Mute! Just squeeze the stem of your AirPods to toggle your microphone system-wide—no more hunting for the Zoom or Google Meet tab.
What else is new in 3.0:
• AppleScript Support: Build your own custom workflows, Stream Deck shortcuts, or advanced automations.
• Under the Hood: A complete optimisation sweep making the app even faster and vastly more energy-efficient.
• Refined Behaviour: Sneaky bug fixes to make multi-device swapping smoother than ever.
Mic Drop is entirely privacy-first (we don't record your audio or collect analytics) and it's a one-time purchase—no pesky subscriptions here.
We have lots of big improvements in the pipeline too:
- a Google Meet browser plug-in, mostly to hide the mute notice but also improve integration
- a virtual microphone for incompatible devices, this will allow devices that Mic Drop currently can’t mute to work seamlessly
- internationalisation (Olá/Hallo/你好/Hola)
- improved interoperability with other meeting apps
- statistics, so you can know how many times you’ve muted yourself
- an optional dock icon
If you'd like to help us beta test these future features, drop us a comment below!
We'd love to hear your feedback. What features should we build next?
