Roadmap
Mic Drop is under active development. We prioritise features and improvements based on user feedback. If there’s anything you think would make Mic Drop better, please drop us a line and let us know! We hearing from you.
Internationalisation
Prefer to use a language that isn't English? We hear you. Or at least, we will, if that language is French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Japanese, or Chinese!
AirPods support
AirPods can now support mute actions! We're looking into building support for this in Mic Drop.
What’s new
Enjoying Mic Drop? Please leave us a rating or review on the App Store. If you have any questions or feature requests, drop us a line. Some of our best features have been based on your feedback.
New menu bar icons
We designed four different menu bar icons for you to choose from, each with a greyscale variant. The new icons also show error states if something’s gone amiss.
Mic Check
We’ve completely overhauled the status window into a new feature we’re calling Mic Check. Easier to use, way more feedback, and the (optional) ability to show a visual indicator of whether your mic is live or not.
More keyboard shortcuts
Want a shortcut to show and hide Mic Check? What about an emergency mute button? You got it.
Better automation
You can now use AppleScript to communicate with Mic Drop. Robots and nerds, rejoice!
Audio notifications
Lots of you requested audio notifications on toggling the mute, so we made it happen. Choose from four different sound effects, all equally grown-up and professional.
Fast device swapping
Change your input device right from the menu bar.
Device controls
Got a mic that shouldn’t ever mute? Sorted.
Performance improvements
For version 2.0, we totally rewrote Mic Drop from the ground up. This means better performance, improved reliability, and an all-around stabler, better, faster app.
Push-to-talk toggle
You asked for it, you got it. Toggle that switch to your heart's content.
Monterey Bluetooth fix
Monterey shipped with a feature that caused issues for a range of audio apps, including ours. We spent some time researching a solution and shipped a workaround.
Mute notifications
We added a feature to show visible mute notifications when you change your mute state. You can enable or disable these (they’re off by default) in Settings.
Status window
Added a status window that shows your mute state and allows you to toggle it with a mouse click.
Unsubscribe any time. We won’t ever share your information with anyone else. Privacy.
