Never get caught on a hot mic.

MuteDot mutes every microphone on your computer with one keyboard shortcut, and keeps a small indicator on screen that shows when your mic is on.

Buy for $6

For Windows 10/11 and Linux

Mutes every microphone at once.

Every call app has its own mute button, and none of them agree with each other or with your computer. That's how people get caught talking on a "muted" call.

MuteDot skips the apps and mutes the microphones themselves, at the system level. If a call app quietly picks a different mic, it gets silence too.

CtrlShiftM The default shortcut. You can change it in Settings.

The whole app fits in one window.

This is MuteDot's Settings window, with every option the app has.

Press the mute button on your headset or change it in system settings, and MuteDot catches up within half a second.

The rest lives in the system tray: your mic status, mute, show or lock the indicator, and Settings.

Questions

Does it work with Zoom, Teams, Meet and Discord?

Yes. MuteDot mutes the microphone itself, so every app hears silence, including ones that aren't on that list.

What if my call app says I'm unmuted?

The app's own mute button doesn't know about MuteDot, so it can say you're unmuted while MuteDot has the microphone muted. Nothing gets through. Go by the MuteDot indicator.

Does it need internet or an account?

No. There's no account, no license key and no telemetry. It works completely offline.

How many computers can I use it on?

All of your own. Buy once, download, and install it on every computer you use.

Does it work on Linux and Wayland?

Yes, on both X11 and Wayland. Wayland doesn't let apps grab global keys, so you bind mutedot --toggle to a key in your desktop's settings. Push-to-talk isn't available on Wayland.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Within 30 days, no questions asked. See the refund policy.

Is there a free trial?

No. The 30-day money-back guarantee covers you instead. If MuteDot isn't for you, you get your $6 back.
