Ace your Zoom meetings – Enhance your calling workflow with one magic button to join, talk, mute, or leave calls in a snap. Always know whether you're muted or unmuted. Boost your productivity and say goodbye to those 'You're on mute' moments!
Hey there! 👋
I’m excited to introduce Airbounce for Mac – a magic button for easier calls (currently for Zoom).
I originally built this for myself but soon realized many people struggle with muting/unmuting during meetings, especially on modern Macs and Zoom. During the pandemic, this issue became even more apparent, and I wanted to create a better solution. This is the designer in me talking—I can’t stand subpar interactions, especially when they’re frequently painful.
At first, I designed and built a physical button prototype, but due to patent restrictions, I discontinued it (another story). On a software level, I knew I couldn’t improve much, since the real problem is that the mute status isn’t visible in the physical world to the user or their surroundings (like when working from home). Luckily, I later had an intriguing idea to explore: there's a button that can solve this problem — Caps Lock, everyone already has it and it has a green light indicator. No hardware needs to be bought or shipped (which I liked even more). Plus, the Caps Lock key is kind of a relic, and today there are better ways to emphasize text using modern styles.
Along the way, I identified more pain points, like how joining or leaving calls often takes too many clicks or how frustrating it is to leave a meeting, often accidentally ending the call for everyone else! 😅
👉 Now, I’m making Airbounce available to everyone.
✨ Key Features:
• View your daily schedule
• Join calls instantly
• Mute/unmute easily from any Mac space
• Visual indicators: LED – the green light on Caps Lock, menu bar mic status, on-screen display, and even Apple Shortcut integration with HomeKit-enabled smart lights; project mic status (e.g., red/green) behind your screen—acting like an "on-air" indicator so others in your home know when it’s okay to talk! This last indicator is experimental.
👩🏻💻 Who’s it for?
• macOS users in frequent Zoom meetings looking for a simpler workflow
• Home office users who want to improve their remote working environment with their roommates or family

As a fully remote tech worker, spending so many waking hours on Zoom calls can be really trying and every little quality of life enhancement makes a big difference. I've really enjoyed using Airbounce so far and look forward to trying out the home office lighting integration!
What’s the best way to get started with this? looks helpful for my work from home setup
I’ve been using a similar feature in another tool, but the visual caps lock feedback is way more intuitive great launch
I appreciate the focus on making Zoom meetings smoother especially with the simple mute unmute feature
The design idea behind repurposing the caps lock key is genius thanks for sharing this!
This is a must have. Great work @tomas_kupka
What about google meet? 😃 Congrats and good luck!
I love how Airbounce integrates the caps lock key! turning it into a zoom control is brilliant
I’ve seen similar solutions for video calls but using caps lock for visual feedback is a fresh and advanced approach
Great launch! The Caps Lock integration is a unique idea that could really streamline zoom meetings
I’m glad to see a tool that tackles zoom meeting frustration so directly the visuals cues for status should make meetings smoother
Like Raycast for Zoom — interesting!
@tomas_kupka I might suggest using Keystroke Pro 2 or Keycastr to show your keyboard shortcuts on screen in your video.
Congratulations on the launch! 🚀
This is such a cool concept. As someone who is obsessively OCD with staying on top of my meetings. this is a must have for me.
Also looking forward to the HomeKit integration! Having something physical to remind me whether my mic is on/off is a killer feature!
I noticed some lag when testing the button during a call. It might be worth looking into optimizing its responsiveness.
I'm excited to see how this tool helps users with Zoom fatigue by simplifying the call process.
I really love the concept. One suggestion form me. It would be great if the Caps Lock key could also be customized for
other functions like toggling video or chat. That could make it even more functional
Great launch! This tool should make managing Zoom meetings much easier and more streamlined.
love how this tool eliminates the constant struggle of finding the mute button! Using the caps lock key to manage calls is such a smart and simple idea. It's going to make meetings more efficient for sure.
