Mutify For Mac

While all chat apps allow you to mute your microphone, not all of them provide accessible hotkeys for this function, and it can be easy to mix them up. If you use several applications to chat with friends or team members, a global hotkey for muting your mic can be very helpful.

Mutify was created to make it as simple as possible for you to cut your microphone at any time. You can use a hotkey, or, if you have a MacBook Pro, even a shortcut on the Touch Bar.

Once you’ve launched the app, you can either stick with the default hotkey or change the key combination. The Preferences window will only be visible when you configure the application, and Mutify is only shown in the menu bar the rest of the time.

To mute all connected microphones, just activate the configured hotkey. The menu bar icon will change to indicate that no sound is being broadcasted, and a small notification will also be displayed in the bottom-right corner of your screen.

If you own one of the newer MacBook Pro models, it probably has a Touch Bar, which Mutify can take advantage of. The app adds a new shortcut here that allows you to mute or unmute your microphone with just one touch.

Another useful feature enables you to keep an eye on your microphone volume by displaying it in a small, unobtrusive window, which can be moved around freely and will remain on top of all other applications. From here, you can also mute and unmute your microphone.

In short, Mutify is a simple and very useful app if you need an easier way to mute your microphone. It doesn’t get in your way, as you can manage your sound input just with a hotkey or Touch Bar shortcut.
