Why MicTray?

🔴

Visual Peace of Mind

A bright red icon lets you know exactly when your mic is hot. A subtle gray means you are safely muted.

⚡️

One-Click Toggle

Never scramble for the Zoom or Teams mute button again. Just click the tray icon to mute or unmute globally in an instant.

🛠

Deep OS Integration

MicTray directly speaks to macOS via AppleScript to adjust the system-level input volume. It works universally across all your apps.
