Hi again Product Hunters! @tofumatt and I launched Mic Drop here a few years ago, and now, we're back for more! We've listened to loads of your feedback over the years and we've rewritten the app from the ground up, adding new features, improving performance, and finessing the design.
Thousands of people rely on Mic Drop to keep them quiet during meetings, podcasts, and even online magic shows. (True story!) Featured on MacRumours and by Apple on the App Store, happy users tell us every day how much they love Mic Drop.
Since then, we’ve listened to all your feedback and rebuilt Mic Drop from the ground up. The same simplicity and ease-of-use you love, now with more customisation options, improved performance, and new tools to help you know when you’re muted.
Here's what’s in this version:
🔔 Audio notifications
