Hi again Product Hunters! @tofumatt and I launched Mic Drop here a few years ago, and now, we're back for more! We've listened to loads of your feedback over the years and we've rewritten the app from the ground up, adding new features, improving performance, and finessing the design.
Thousands of people rely on Mic Drop to keep them quiet during meetings, podcasts, and even online magic shows. (True story!) Featured on MacRumours and by Apple on the App Store, happy users tell us every day how much they love Mic Drop.
Since then, we’ve listened to all your feedback and rebuilt Mic Drop from the ground up. The same simplicity and ease-of-use you love, now with more customisation options, improved performance, and new tools to help you know when you’re muted.
Here's what’s in this version:
🔔 Audio notifications
🔴 New menubar icons
✅ Mic Check
🎹 New keyboard shortcuts
🤖 Scriptability & automations
⚡️ Rapid device swapping
🤐 Disable devices
🌟 Improved performance & reliability
It’s our biggest, shiniest, most-anticipated update ever. We know you’re going to love it—because it’s everything you asked for.
Using this app has significantly improved my online meetings. It feels great to have control over my mic with just a quick keystroke.
Customization options are fantastic. I can set it up exactly how I like, making it even more useful during calls.
It's become an essential part of my daily workflow. I love how this tool streamlines my virtual meetings.
this looks fantastic! The audio notifications and customization shortcuts will defiantly make a difference during calls
I completely agree that having reliable mic control is essential in today’s virtual meetings this update seems to address that perfectly
you’ve revamped the app based on user feedback! The new feature seem really helpful for enhancing meeting productivity.
This seems like a great way to avoid embarrassing moments during virtual meetings.
The ability to mute and unmute my microphone with a single click is really convenient.
The menubar control is a great option for people who don't want to have to use a hotkey.
I like the idea of being able to customize my hotkey. That way, I can choose a shortcut that's easy for me to remember and use.
This looks really handy! Haven't tried it out yet, but the features sound spot on. Love the idea of having audio notifications and quick device swaps. Congrats on the big update!
I'm unreasonably excited about this!
MicDrop has had a permanent home in my menu bar for several years now. I remember when a macOS update broke all microphone muting apps and I had to try everything that was available at the time. I eventually settled on MicDrop because it handled the transition in the most reliable way. It has been rock solid ever since.
I love all the new additions, especially the new [ON AIR] / [OFF AIR] menu bar icons. Also looking forward to trying out the new Mic Check window — seems like it could be useful for important meetings where you don't want to be accidentally off mute. Big 🫶
The menu bar control feature is a nice touch! Having that easily accessible will definitely save time and reduce stress when needing to mute quickly.
