Automate & Secure Your Workspace

In Meeting is a native macOS utility built for smart home enthusiasts and privacy-conscious users. Whether you want to toggle a physical "Do Not Disturb" status light outside your home office door using Home Assistant webhooks, or you want to be alerted instantly with a macOS notification whenever a background application silently accesses your camera or microphone, In Meeting handles it seamlessly.

Take a look inside the clean status bar control menu and native settings panel.

Key Features

A native, modern solution that replaces legacy polling tasks.

bolt

Direct Framework Calls

Uses CoreAudio and CoreMediaIO listener blocks directly. Triggers instantly without background processes scanning or polling log streams.

webhook

Customizable Webhooks

Configure Combined or Separate endpoint URLs for audio and video feeds. Supports both POST (JSON body) and GET (parameter query replacements) requests.

sync

Fault Tolerant Retries

Automatically retries failed webhook requests up to 3 times using exponential backoff to handle temporary network loss.

login

Launch at Login

Integrates natively with the modern macOS `SMAppService` API to register itself as a login launch item with a single toggle switch.

notifications_active

Local Notifications

Receive immediate, compliant native macOS system notifications on state transitions, including pause status support.

notifications_off

Device Exclusions

Toggle individual devices directly from the menu bar status list. Excluded devices will not trigger webhooks or notifications.
