Overview

Listen to audio one tab at a time.

Tired of juggling multiple tabs blasting audio at the same time? Mute Background Audio Automatically with Smart Mute.

Whether you're listening to music, watching videos, or working in silence, Smart Mute keeps your audio clean, focused, and interruption-free. ---------------------------- 🚨 Important Notes > Smart Mute does not pause media--it only mutes tabs. > Keyboard shortcuts and right-click controls are not available yet but are under consideration for future releases. ---------------------------- šŸ”Š Key Features šŸ˜Ž Core Functionality - Mute Background Tabs Automatically Never deal with overlapping audio again.

This intelligent feature improves your audio flow and ensures seamless transitions between tabs. ---------------------------- āš™ļø How Smart Mute Works Smart Mute uses tab activity and real-time audio detection to manage which tab can play sound.
