Unclack for macOS - Automatically mute your keyboard while typing

Unclack is the small but mighty Mac utility that automatically mutes your microphone while you type and un-mutes when you stop. No more getting called out for clacking your way through a Zoom meeting on your mechanical keyboard! Multitask in peace, with Unclack.

I built Unclack after my new Keychron K8 keyboard started becoming the bane of my work video calls. 'AJ! Your keyboard!" was a daily refrain as I multitasked my way through our daily stand-ups. After several dozen incidents fumbling for my software mute button I knew there had to be a better way. Unclack is built entirely using SwiftUI for macOS Big Sur and above. I loved the experience building a small, focused experience in SwiftUI that I could quickly deploy and share for free. I hope you enjoy it and share it with your clacky-keyboard-owning friends! For more of what I've been building, check out https://ajkueterman.dev and https://base11studios.com, and follow me on twitter @ajkueterman

@ajkueterman it is cool, i like small utilities 👍

@ajkueterman The title should be "mute your microphone" :) . I was wondering what's muting the keyboard.

Nice product, however I'm still on macOS Catalina, and cannot install the app. Is the app designed just for Big Sur?
Travis Fischer
@baidoct Same issue -- would love to use this; just needs Catalina support.

@baidoct It was originally designed for Big Sur, yes, as I was using some of the latest SwiftUI API's that are only available on macOS 11+. However today I'm happy to announce that I've published a new version of Unclack with support for Catalina! Check it out/download on the landing page now!

@vedika_jain @rrhoover Just downloaded! Thanks for making Unclack @ajkueterman :)

Nice idea! Like in my case the target base for this product would be work laptops - which are more often than not under corporate IT management and will not upgrade to Big Sur until months. I would therefore highly recommend a Catalina version.

@apurv Hi Apoorv, you're definitely not alone in this feature request. Spent some time back-porting, and just published an update to Unclack to support Catalina! Thanks for your feedback! You can download the latest from the landing page now!

Brilliant! I bought a Keychron K8 this week and got complaints on my first meeting. I can't wait to give this a go.
