A microphone volume slider and input switcher that live next to your clock - where the speaker slider has been all along.
Under a megabyte, no preferences window, nothing to configure.
Drag and your input gain changes instantly. No apply button, no window taking over your screen mid‑call.
Built‑in mic, AirPods, iPhone, USB interfaces - all in one list. The menu stays open, so you can set the new device’s level right away.
It reads and sets volume, nothing else - so macOS never even asks for microphone permission. No tracking, no network.
Devices appear as you plug them in. Connect AirPods with the menu open and they show up on their own. And when a mic’s gain is firmware‑managed - AirPods, the iPhone mic - MicSlider tells you, instead of showing a slider that would do nothing.
MicSlider ships as source, so it opens with no Gatekeeper warnings - no paid Apple Developer account in the loop, no cost to you.
