Mic Drop allows users to mute and unmute their microphone using a customizable, global keyboard shortcut. With Mic Drop, you always know whether your mic is on or not, helping to avoid those embarrassing situations. It is ideally suited for remote workers, teachers, podcasters, user researchers, or anyone spending lots of time in video meetings. Works with any app, even if it’s not currently in focus.

Version 1.3.1:
Big Sur and Apple Silicon Update
Mic Drop has a new icon for Big Sur and we’re all set for Apple Silicon!
Mic Drop is now a Universal Binary, running natively on Intel and M1 Macs
We also fixed a bug in macOS Big Sur that could cause the status window to resize/reposition itself when toggled, along with some font-sizing and layout bugs in macOS Big Sur. We also fixed a status window bug that could cause the status window to be too light when not in Dark Mode
(Mic Drop still works fine with macOS 10.15 Catalina, if you haven’t yet upgraded!)
Compatibility: macOS 10.15 or later, 64-bit processor
