Have you ever been in a meeting where you're taking notes, looking things up, or just chilling with your colleagues? If so, then you probably don't want to hear the constant clicking of your keyboard, so you might want to try Unclack – a free app Mac that mutes keyboard sounds.
The app is surprisingly simple and does its job effectively. When you start typing, it automatically mutes the microphone and, once you're done, unmutes it. This feature is especially handy for long online meetings, where constantly clicking to mute or detect audio can become annoying.
