About:
AutoMute is a lightweight utility that automatically manages your Mac's mute state based on the Wi-Fi network you are connected to. It runs in the background and allows you to define trusted networks where your Mac will remain unmuted, while automatically muting the system on unknown or public networks. This helps prevent embarrassing audio interruptions during meetings or in quiet environments without manual intervention.
Key Features:
  • Automatic mute/unmute based on Wi-Fi SSID
  • System-wide audio control for all applications
  • Simple menu bar interface for easy configuration
  • Lightweight background daemon with minimal resource usage
Use Cases:
  • Automatically mute your Mac when connecting to office or public Wi-Fi to avoid accidental audio
  • Keep your system unmuted only on your trusted home network
  • Prevent embarrassing notification sounds during video calls on corporate networks
Alternatives:
  • MuteMyMac – Similar functionality but less actively maintained
  • Homebrew audio tools – Manual scripting with audio devices requires more setup
