A simple, lightweight microphone mute toggle for Windows with global hotkey support
---
## ✨ Features
- **Global Hotkey** — Mute/unmute your microphone from anywhere using a customizable keyboard shortcut
- **System Tray** — Lives quietly in your system tray with a color-coded icon (🟢 unmuted / 🔴 muted)
- **Quick Toggle** — Single click on the tray icon to toggle mute state
- **Modifier Support** — Use complex hotkeys like `Ctrl + Alt + M` or simple ones like `F13`
- **Flexible Matching** — Option to ignore additional modifiers (e.g., hotkey `Shift + F23` also fires on `Ctrl + Shift + F23`)
- **Auto-Start** — Optionally launch with Windows
- **Modern UI** — Mica/Acrylic backdrop, smooth animations, native Windows 10/11 look
- **Portable** — No MSIX installer required, just extract and run
