About

MicButton

MicButton is your physical mute button for working by voice. It lets you mute or unmute your Mac’s system microphone from your Apple Watch or iPhone Action Button without leaving a ChatGPT Voice or Codex conversation. Whether you're stepping away for a quick side conversation during a video call or working alongside a voice assistant that shouldn't hear you talking to someone else, MicButton lets you mute in an instant β€” right from your wrist or phone. It’s a master mute switch. MicButton mutes your Mac’s system microphone itself rather than muting inside a single app β€” so when it’s off, nothing running on your Mac is listening: not a call, not a browser tab, not an assistant. Your mic is off because you turned it off, and you can confirm it from your wrist without walking back to your desk. FEATURES β€’ One-tap mute/unmute from Apple Watch β€’ iPhone Action Button and Lock Screen control support β€’ Live mute status shown in the Dynamic Island β€’ Mutes the Mac’s system microphone at the source, not inside a single app β€’ Works entirely over your local network β€” no internet connection required, and no audio ever leaves your devices β€’ Lightweight menu bar app that stays out of your way MicButton is built for anyone who works from a Mac and wants mute control without breaking their flow.
