Mute

**Mute automatically turns on Do Not Disturb the moment you're on a call — and turns it off when you hang up.**

macOS Focus mode works, but only if you remember to switch it on before every call and off afterward. Miss it and notifications pop mid-meeting; forget it and you stay silent for hours. Mute ties Do Not Disturb directly to your mic and camera, so it just happens.

### How it works - **Microphone** — reads CoreAudio's device-in-use signal (the same one behind the orange dot in your menu bar), the instant any app opens your mic. - **Camera** — observes every connected camera via AVFoundation, built-in or external. - **Do Not Disturb** — toggled through two bundled macOS Shortcuts calling the native Focus API. No private APIs, no accessibility permissions.

### Why you'll like it - **Zero configuration** — lives in your menu bar, works out of the box. - **Works with everything** — Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, FaceTime, Slack, Discord, WebEx, and any browser call. It reads a system signal, not per-app integrations. - **Choose your trigger** — mic & camera, mic only, or camera only. - **Private by design** — no data collected, no account, no network. It reads activity state only, never audio or video. Fully open source (MIT). - **Free.**
