JavaFX Application that mutes Applications when they are in the background.
- Download from Github link
- Unzip
- Run MuteInBackground.exe
Some apps have an option to mute themselves when they are in the background.
Others don't.
For the latter there is this tool to save you a couple clicks.
This tool will list your running apps.
You chose which of them you want to mute.
The apps you selected will be muted when they are in the background
and unmuted when they regain focus.
The app has an option to run on startup, and to be started minimized (in the tray),
so "MuteInBackground" will itself be running in the background.
Only works with Windows, tested only with Windows 10.
Preferences will be saved to your user home.
Temp files are being created (and deleted) to interact with CMD-utility.
