Silent Mode for Mac

Silent Mode gives the Mac the kind of obvious quiet switch people expect from iPhone and Apple Watch. Turn it on from the app, the menu bar, or Control Center, and keep music, calls, and regular audio working while system alerts stay out of the way.

A real quiet switch

Mute alerts without muting your Mac.

Silent Mode turns down notification and alert sounds while regular audio keeps working, so music, calls, meetings, and videos are not interrupted.
