Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Masahiro, founder of MUTE. After 23 years helping small businesses in Japan build better websites, I got tired of watching my clients waste hours every week deleting automated spam from their contact forms.
MUTE is the tool I built to fix that — quietly, without adding any friction for real visitors. No CAPTCHA. No changes to your existing setup. Just one line of code.
We launched on April 20th and were featured on AP News on day one, which told us this problem resonates far beyond Japan.
Would love to hear your feedback, especially from anyone who's dealt with this problem before. Happy to answer any questions!
Update: We just launched our WordPress Plugin last week! 🚀
To make it even easier for everyone to reclaim their time from spam, we officially released the MUTE WordPress Plugin last week.
MUTE Spam Blocker

There’s no need to touch any code now—just activate the plugin, verify your site, and you’re all set. It starts protecting your forms silently in the background immediately.
We are also currently working on translating MUTE into multiple languages. My goal is to help anyone, anywhere in the world, who is struggling with form spam. I believe that language should never be a barrier to having a peaceful, spam-free inbox.
If you know any fellow WordPress users—regardless of where they are or what language they speak—who are tired of deleting bot-emails every morning, please let them know! We’d love for them to experience a truly "quiet" inbox for the next two weeks.
As always, I’m here to listen to your feedback. Let's make the web a quieter place together.
Update: MUTE is now on the Shopify App Store! 🛍️
We keep shipping.
First we launched for any website (one line of JS).
Then the WordPress plugin.
And now — Shopify.
MUTE – Spam Blocker
https://apps.shopify.com/mute
In 23 years of helping small businesses build websites, I've seen the same thing over and over — store owners starting their morning deleting bot-generated garbage instead of responding to real buyers.
No CAPTCHA. No friction for real customers. Just install and it starts working silently in the background.
Shopify merchants were the most vocal about wanting this, so we prioritized it. If you know any store owners drowning in bot emails, send them our way.
14-day free trial, no credit card required. Feedback always welcome. 🙏
