MuteKey
MuteKey is a utility application for macOS that provides global keyboard shortcuts to quickly mute and unmute the system audio. It sits in the background and allows users to toggle audio output without needing to open System Preferences or use the Control Center. The app is designed for users who frequently need to quickly silence their Mac during meetings, calls, or when switching between different audio contexts.

1 suggestionWe could not find any recent information about MuteKey in our search results, so we cannot confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. Given that this is a small, utility-focused app with a minimal feature set, it is possible it has been abandoned or operates silently without much public web presence. Contact the developer at the bundle ID domain (davechengapps.com if accessible) to ask directly whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned. This is important to clarify soon, since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028) and any Intel-only build will stop working at that point. In the meantime, as a contingency, consider exploring alternatives like Mute My Mic, SteadyTune, or built-in Control Center audio controls, which offer similar muting functionality and may have native Apple Silicon support.
