v0.3.0

Mutes your Mac's audio output every time it sleeps, locks, wakes, or unlocks — and now lives in your menu bar.

Install from a clone (recommended — you get mutewake update):

git clone https://github.com/00mkp/mutewake.git
cd mutewake && ./install.sh

Install from the archives below:

tar -xzf mutewake-0.3.0.tar.gz
cd mutewake-0.3.0 && ./install.sh

Already installed? mutewake update (from a clone) or mutewake update ~/Downloads/mutewake-0.3.0.tar.gz.

Requires macOS 13+ and the Xcode Command Line Tools. The daemon is built from
source on your machine rather than shipped as a binary, so you never hit
Gatekeeper quarantine.

What's new

• Menu bar item — a sleeping-speaker icon (dimmed when off) with a native menu:
  on/off status, current audio, Turn On/Off, Mute Now / Unmute Now, the last five
  events, Open Log, About, and Quit.
• "Off" keeps the icon. off now just sets the flag, and the daemon stays up
  idle so the menu can turn it back on. Off still survives a reboot, and nothing is
  muted while it's set. Quit from the menu to stop the daemon until next login or
  mutewake on.
• The menu and CLI stay in sync — mutewake off in a terminal dims the icon immediately.
• update and reinstalls now keep mutewake on or off as you left it.
• Hardening: a stuck osascript call is killed after 3s instead of freezing the daemon.
• 31 integration tests (./test/verify.sh).

Muting behavior itself — what happens on sleep, lock, wake, and unlock — is unchanged.

Known limitation

The banner is attributed to Script Editor, not mutewake — macOS refuses to
register an ad-hoc-signed app with the notification center. See the README.
