toggleMute

This App only mutes/unmutes the default selected audio input device of your Mac. If you use an external device you have to set it as the default audio device in the macOS system settings to make it work with this App.

Note

I don't use a MacBook with Touch Bar anymore. So if there are any issues with the Touch Bar, then I won't notice it. So please open an issue if there are any problems.

functions

• Single tab/click on the Touch Bar or the Menubar icon will toggle between mute and unmute
• Right click on the Menubar icon will show the setting for the default unmute volume.
  • this volume will always be set if you unmute
  • if you change the input volume via the system settings, the app will overwrite it
  • click on the little gear symbol will show the option to set a global Keyboard Shortcut, the option for Autostart and a Quit button

install

homebrew tap

brew tap satrik/togglemute
brew install --no-quarantine togglemute

manually

• download the toggleMute.zip form the latest release
  • alternatively download or clone the repository
• unpack the toggleMute.zip and move toggleMute.app into the Applications folder
• execute (just double click) the toggleMuteDisableQuarantine.command
  • if this does not work, you have to execute xattr -cr /Applications/toggleMute.app in a terminal
• start the App the first time via right click > open and "Trust me" 😉
• the Touch Bar button is only visible in the normal "control strip" (not the extended) and can't be moved to any other place
  • so you have to choose for example "Quick Actions" and activate "Show Control Stip"
