Description

Silent Start is now completely free!

Ever had to restart your Mac and you (or someone else) has been annoyed by the startup chime? If so, get Silent Start for free today. It's able to silent the chime and then restore the volume back to normal after it starts up.

The only exception is if headphones are plugged in, and in that case macOS doesn't allow Silent Start (or any other app) access to the internal speakers. However, it will show a helpful dialog right before restart/shutdown to give you a chance to unplug them so it can mute the startup chime.

It's completely free, and fully compatible with macOS 10.14 Mojave, including the system Dark Mode.

We love hearing from our customers, so please feel free to email anytime for support or comments at support@tunabelly.com.

Doug the main man ,

Read carefully. Does NOT work if you plug in the headphones.

This app expects you to unplug headphones EVERYTIME you turn off your laptop. Since most people wanting silence will be using their headphones the idea seems a bit silly.

Doesn't work since upgrade

This app has been on my macs for a couple of years but has not worked since the upgrade. I have removed and reinstalled several times and now given up.
