Just checked out. It's hilarious for sure.

Hilarious, but you can just option click the notification center icon to silence all notifications. No need for a standalone app.

  The point of the app is it does this for you automatically when it detects screen sharing, negating the chance that you forget to turn it off yourself.

    my favorite solution is still disabling the damn notification center altogether for good. nothing to be forget about then.

To those who find the concept hilarious.. The specific value proposition of this app is "automatically turn off notifications when screen-sharing." Automating everyday tasks seems like exactly the type of thing we use computers and software for.

Pretty funny, but it looks like macOS Mojave does this already - there's a "Turn on Do Not Disturb when mirroring to TVs and projectors" setting in System Preferences > Notifications > Do Not Disturb - which might explain that development seemed to stop more than a year ago: https://muzzleapp.com/updates/ https://muzzleapp.com/updates/ Unless there's something else that it does which isn't covered by that preference setting?

  Damn. I didn't know that. thanks an awful lot...

    For future reference, the smart person creates a second login on their machine with no notifications allowed and with nothing logged in for presenting.

  Presumably this wouldn't cover screensharing from an app like Slack or Zoom?
  - frereubu 7y ago
    Ah, yes - that’s what I was missing. Thanks for pointing that out.

    And I guess sometimes you're sitting in front of your Mac with others without using any presentation mode. Muting notifications could be really helpful then.

      You can manually turn on Do Not Disturb mode also to accomplish this.

This is from the same developer as CodeKit. His documentation, sales copy and release notes are always hilarious. Check out the "reviews" on http://codekitapp.com http://codekitapp.com , Especially this gem: >Your app is lame, your face is lame, your friends are lame, and your continued existence deeply offends us. >Hacker News, Where Self-Esteem Goes To Die :-)

  "CodeKit: it's at least 183x better than iTunes."

  The contrast on that side is super low. I’m viewing with grayscale inverted in low light (at night) and the site is totally unreadable. Wouldn’t call it a great landing page.

This is amazing

Is it a good thing if I didn't even scroll, but just watched events unfold? Surely that's a compliment, right?
