I've had a cough for years, so on stream I hit mute a lot. The problem was the other half: I kept forgetting to unmute, and talked to nobody for minutes.
Sirah Mute is the fix. Muting is still one key, but now it's loud about it: a red glow around your screen, a popup that counts how long you've been muted, and a nudge if you start talking while muted. Sirah means red in Minang.
Features
- One-key mute for the mic you pick, from any app or game, including F13–F24 and media keys.
- Red screen border while muted, Solid or Glow.
- Popup with a mute timer: Mic mute 0:42. Click the pill to unmute.
- Talk-while-muted warning, works with setups like Wave Link.
- Hold to cough: hold the hotkey and you are muted only while it is held.
- Home Assistant control via --mute, --unmute, --status.
- Small: one exe, about 3.5 MB of RAM.
