Maccy VS MicSwitch

Thanks for sharing. It’s nice to see thorough docs and tests https://github.com/p0deje/Maccy

I've been using this: https://github.com/p0deje/Maccy

The downloads are on GitHub here: https://github.com/p0deje/Maccy/releases

Yes. Free and open source. Here. But you can support the developer by getting it from the Mac App Store. It's worth it the price.

With Alfred you can do almost anything efficiently.  Personally, I did get its powerpack to get all of Alfred's features; clipboard history and much more. Though when it comes to clipboard history there's a free alternative: Maccy. Back to Alfred - Alfred can also create workflows that allows you to control apps, make snippets and queries directly to websites that you can customize. Watch this video to learn more.

Yep, for now.

Maccy - an open source clipboard manager that I develop got a new version 0.26 yesterday that I'm excited about. The whole changelog is in GitHub and some of the new features are making it a way more powerful tool that needs a bit more explanation, so I've decided to write this post, though I'm not sure if Reddit is the best place for this.

Maccy - Clipboard History

Maccy is an open source app, so you can inspect the source code to make sure there is nothing malicious there - https://github.com/p0deje/Maccy. It's also fully sandboxed and doesn't allow outgoing communication so the data it stores never leaves your computer. All the data lives in $HOME/Library/Containers/org.p0deje.Maccy/.

Guess I should add support for iCloud in Maccy. It’s been long due https://github.com/p0deje/Maccy/issues/182.

For the Mic mute there are a few free programs which can do that. One is called MicMute and another is called MicSwitch. At least one of them can use a hotkey.

I don’t think you can natively, but there are apps that will do it. This one looks promising.

Finally, the last program I used is called MicSwitch. This program is actually something I had used before buying the 5-inch display, I just used a hotkey instead. This lets me mute or unmute my microphone using one of the dock's buttons. I used MicSwitch's overlay function to have an updating indicator on the dock. I just placed it over the button.

micSwitch - mute/unmute your system microphone

Even if you dont have a switch, you can still mute your mic using MicSwitch, which in my opinion is arguably better as it allows you to set your own hotkeys, and choose between toggling your mic and push to talk/mute. Certainly, any way of mic muting is the way to go here.

I basically use the system-wide mute/unmute toggle via this app. https://github.com/iXab3r/MicSwitch - its very reliable... you can also assign your own hotkey in the app itself

Just a friendly heads-up that a program called MicSwitch exists. It lets you bind mic muting to a key, gives you a sound when you go on/off mute, and lets you customize an overlay that shows you if you're muted or not.

Here are two, which work pretty good. Pick one. You can download the binaries for Windows from the Release Pages. AHK MicMute and MicSwitch. First one maybe needs AutoHotkey installed.
