In plain words

Unclack is a macOS app that automatically mutes your microphone while you type. Designed for anyone using video calls or voice recording, it prevents keyboard noise from being picked up during meetings or recordings. The app runs quietly in the background, detecting keyboard activity and toggling microphone muting without requiring manual intervention each time you need to type.
