Take control of your microphone.
Whether during a video conference (on Zoom, Slack, Discord, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Skype, FaceTime, among others) or streaming a video (on YouTube or any other streaming platform), always have control of your microphone.
Forget those awkward situations when you forget the microphone unmuted. The neighbor's dog will never interrupt another person who is talking again.
With MicControl you can mute and unmute your microphone at any time using a keyboard shortcut or by right clicking (you can swap buttons in the settings screen) on the icon visible in the system menu bar.
No more searching for the browser tab or application window that is using the microphone.
Preserve your privacy. With MicControl you know when your microphone is being used by another application.

Simple. Effective. Hotkey.

This app works perfectly for me. I also like the unobtrusive visual indicator on the top right corner. I've searched and used about every app and bit of macOS functionality that can mute an input over the last 6 months. They've all been lackin in one way or another. I would pay the price for this app again if needed to continue using it.
Best of the kind

I tried most of the mic mute/unmute apps on the App Store, this is my favorite by a large mile.- Does exactly what it's supposed to- UI is simple yet very native- Nice on screen notification for muting/unmuting action- Meaningful settings for customization - Respects privacy as stated: I verified there's no telementry Please keep it alive!
Great potential

The app has great potential but unfortunately the settings do not launch. I also can't get the on screen popup to show, and given settings doesn't work, it may be related. The developer did not respond to my email about this.
• Muting settings have been moved to a new tab;
• Added configuration option to mute all microphones when opening the application and another option to unmute them when closing;
• Fixed a bug that prevented opening the settings screen on macOS Ventura;
• New icon.
