Airbounce for Mac

📌

Hey there! 👋 I’m excited to introduce Airbounce for Mac – a magic button for easier calls (currently for Zoom). I originally built this for myself but soon realized many people struggle with muting/unmuting during meetings, especially on modern Macs and Zoom. During the pandemic, this issue became even more apparent, and I wanted to create a better solution. This is the designer in me talking—I can’t stand subpar interactions, especially when they’re frequently painful. At first, I designed and built a physical button prototype, but due to patent restrictions, I discontinued it (another story). On a software level, I knew I couldn’t improve much, since the real problem is that the mute status isn’t visible in the physical world to the user or their surroundings (like when working from home). Luckily, I later had an intriguing idea to explore: there's a button that can solve this problem — Caps Lock, everyone already has it and it has a green light indicator. No hardware needs to be bought or shipped (which I liked even more). Plus, the Caps Lock key is kind of a relic, and today there are better ways to emphasize text using modern styles. Along the way, I identified more pain points, like how joining or leaving calls often takes too many clicks or how frustrating it is to leave a meeting, often accidentally ending the call for everyone else! 😅 👉 Now, I’m making Airbounce available to everyone. ✨ Key Features: • View your daily schedule • Join calls instantly • Mute/unmute easily from any Mac space • Visual indicators: LED – the green light on Caps Lock, menu bar mic status, on-screen display, and even Apple Shortcut integration with HomeKit-enabled smart lights; project mic status (e.g., red/green) behind your screen—acting like an "on-air" indicator so others in your home know when it’s okay to talk! This last indicator is experimental. 👩🏻‍💻 Who’s it for? • macOS users in frequent Zoom meetings looking for a simpler workflow • Home office users who want to improve their remote working environment with their roommates or family 🎁 Enjoy a 7-day trial, and support me if you find it valuable. Enjoy a 40% discount "E1NJKWNQ" till the end of September 2024, and a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. 💡 I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and ideas! Thanks for your support! 💚

@tomas_kupka This looks interesting, is it only for Zoom? I was a power-user of Zoom but only using Gmeet for the last 8 months

@prad_vv Hi Pradhumn, Right now, Airbounce is designed for Zoom, but I’m exploring support for other tools like Google Meet. If you drop your contact info and a brief note below, I’ll let you know once I start working on Google Meet support! 😊 https://forms.gle/nJw7w1Ar2Sk3UUC6A Thanks!

@owenfar Hey Owen! Thanks for the congrats! 😊 It was indeed a breakthrough to solve this without extra hardware, using the only key that’s often overlooked and has the indicator. I appreciate the support!

Hi @tomas_kupka Thank you for sharing the launch of Airbounce for Mac! It’s such a smart solution to streamline Zoom calls, and I love how you’ve repurposed the Caps Lock key for this. The visual indicators are a game-changer for remote work! If there’s anything I can assist with or if you'd like to explore any collaboration opportunities, feel free to connect. Wishing you great success with Airbounce!

💡 Bright idea

The lightning scene integration looks awesome! Similar to how live tv studios has a red lamp that says OnAir.

@sentry_co Hey André, Yes! That’s the idea. It should be possible with HomeKit-enabled LED lights like Philips Hue, IKEA lights, etc. Let me know when you’re ready to set it up. I’m about to publish documentation soon, and this part might need some guidance, but it’s super easy to set up.

@tomas_kupka I actually rigged up Siri on my HomePod mini to change scenes for zoom calls. Go to zoom call mode etc. Fun fact my apt is rigged with Ikea and Hue lights. like 30ish. Feedback: I think Just doing green for your unmuted and red for muted could work.

Like Raycast for Zoom — interesting! @tomas_kupka I might suggest using Keystroke Pro 2 or Keycastr to show your keyboard shortcuts on screen in your video.

Thanks, Chris! Love the Raycast comparison—hadn't thought about it that way. 🔥 I’ll definitely check out those tools. I had to improvise last minute as Screen Studio is a great tool but couldn’t recognize Caps Lock or Enter (hope the feedback reach them this way). No blame there, just a learning moment. 😊 The next video will definitely be on another level!

I’ll give this a try. It seems promising. However, now Teams is my primary platform, and I use Zoom only once or twice a week.

Congratulations on the launch! 🚀 This is such a cool concept. As someone who is obsessively OCD with staying on top of my meetings. this is a must have for me. Also looking forward to the HomeKit integration! Having something physical to remind me whether my mic is on/off is a killer feature!

@kimchikun Thanks Kimchi! Really appreciate your enthusiasm. Glad to hear Airbounce resonates with your meeting management style. The HomeKit integration for physical mic status is indeed a fun feature - can't wait for you to try it out. Let me know if you need any help. I plan to release some documentation soon, though I don’t think it will be necessary in most cases—it should be pretty straightforward. The HomeKit integration might need some guidance if you decide to try it. Reach out at hello@airbounce.co any time.

As a fully remote tech worker, spending so many waking hours on Zoom calls can be really trying and every little quality of life enhancement makes a big difference. I've really enjoyed using Airbounce so far and look forward to trying out the home office lighting integration!
