Mic Drop Press Room
Mic Drop is the easiest way to control your mic in macOS. Since 2020, we’ve been helping remote workers, podcasters, streamers, and even magicians take control of their audio.
Mic Drop is built and maintained by Sarah and Matt, a designer-developer duo based in Portugal and the UK. Together, we’re Octopus Think, a small software studio that builds tools to help you work better.
We’ve been featured by Apple in the Mac App Store, as well as in a variety of world-renowned tech publications, including: Six Colors, MacBreak Weekly, MacRumors, and MacStories’ AppStories. If you’d like to write about Mic Drop and need any assets or information, please drop us a line and we’ll help you out!
