Mic Drop

Ever been on a call and needed to turn off your microphone, like, right now, but couldn’t find the mute button quickly enough? Mic Drop is a macOS menu bar app that allows you to quickly mute and unmute yourself using a keyboard shortcut. It works with every meeting app out there—from Zoom to Slack, FaceTime to Teams.

We’ve been working remotely, in some form or another, for at least a decade. We know what sucks about video meetings—saying something you didn’t mean to, or getting five minutes into a poignant tirade before being interrupted by a co-worker: “We can’t hear you! Is your mic off?”

So we built Mic Drop. It’s a Mac app that allows you to mute—and unmute—your mic using a customisable keyboard shortcut that works in any app. It also displays your mic status in your menu bar, so you’ll always know at a glance if your mic is hot or not.
