New: Mic Mute

A toggle that mutes every microphone at once, the way the mute button on an external mic does.

  • Flips each microphone's own hardware mute switch. Apps keep their audio stream and their permission and receive exact digital silence; nothing is revoked, paused or restarted.
  • Tap again and sound flows immediately. Red struck-through mic = Muted, plain mic = On.
  • Microphones that connect while muted are muted too, and the mute holds even if Tapdeck quits.
  • Needs no permissions and never listens to the microphone.
  • Also available as Toggle Mic Mute in Spotlight, so you can give it a keyboard shortcut in the Shortcuts app.

Some inputs, such as an iPhone used through Continuity or a virtual mic from a recording app, have no mute control in macOS. If the one in use is like that, Tapdeck says so instead of showing a mute that isn't real.

Install or update

  1. Download Tapdeck.dmg below and drag Tapdeck into Applications (replace the old copy).
  2. First launch of a new download: click Done, then System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway.
  3. Control Center › Edit Controls › Tapdeck: drag Mic Mute in, next to Lights Out and Stay Awake.

Requires macOS 26 Tahoe or later. Universal: Apple silicon and Intel.
