🎤 MicDrop (Chrome Extension Edition)

A hybrid macOS app + Chrome Extension system to control Google Meet microphone remotely (from global keyboard shortcut ⌥M or iOS Shortcuts).

How it works

1. macOS App: Runs a local HTTP bridge server and listens for Global Hotkey (⌥M).
2. Chrome Extension: Connects to the app via local HTTP bridge and controls Google Meet UI directly.
3. iOS Shortcuts: Sends HTTP requests to the macOS App, which forwards them to Chrome.

Installation

Step 1: Install macOS App

1. Build the app using Xcode or Swift:

   swift build -c release

2. Run the app. It will start a local server at port 8765.

Step 2: Install Chrome Extension

1. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions.
2. Enable Developer mode (top right).
3. Click Load unpacked.
4. Select the chrome-extension folder from this project.
5. Open Google Meet and grant permissions if asked.

Usage

• Toggle Mic: Press Option + M (works globally, even if Chrome is backgrounded).
• iOS Control: Use Shortcuts to call http://YOUR_MAC_IP:8765/toggle-mic.
• Status: Check the menu bar icon or Extension popup.

API Endpoints (For iOS Shortcuts)

Same as before, backward compatible:

# Toggle Microphone (Google Meet)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/toggle-mic

# Volume Control (System Speaker)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/volume/increase
curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/volume/decrease

Requirements

• macOS 13.0+
• Google Chrome (or Chromium-based browser)
