Finkregh / toggleMute

macOS Touch Bar App to mute/unmute the microphone.

toggleMute

note

I don't use a MacBook with Touch Bar anymore. So if there are any issues with the Touch Bar, I can't help/debug by myself

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

• 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 "control strip" and can't be moved to any other place
