Mic Mute Toggle
Description Add a simple toggle to the OMI app that allows users to mute the microphone and temporarily stop listening/transcribing. Tapping the icon once mutes the mic; tapping it again unmutes.
Requirements 1. Toggle Button: Place a mute/unmute button at the top of the app UI for quick access. 2. On-Demand Control: A single tap mutes or unmutes immediately. 3. Phase-Two Enhancement (Optional): Provide a mute duration option (e.g., 60 minutes) that automatically unmutes the mic when the time is up.
Goal Enable users to easily pause transcription for privacy or other reasons, then resume at any time.
You can single tap device to sleep and back which is better than mute mode

Looks like a won’t fix issue for now, unless omi issue #1812 is not implemented yet. In that case, we still need this feature in the app, but it should be implemented separately and not tied to the current version.

Hey! @kodjima33 @smian1
What’s the intended design here? Single tap = sleep = mute?
If we’re talking about the mobile app—it doesn’t work in the background anyway, so quitting the app should be enough.
Do we really need an extra mute action? What's the use case scenario for that?
I don't want to touch my device; I just want to mute it. I still want to use the app. I want to look through my memories and conversations while the app is muted. I may be on a call that I don't want to be recorded. It should be a quick tap to mute and a quick tap to unmute. Also, a mute snooze feature would be amazing—mute for a set amount of time so you don't forget to unmute.
Adding bounty but we need a better design

/attempt #1643 Plan: I will implement a microphone mute toggle in the app bar, with persistent state and timed mute options (30min, 1hr, 2hr). The UI will provide clear feedback and the app will remain fully functional while muted.
hi folks, we’re not planning to do this right now.
but we’ll let you know once this ticket is on the schedule - of course, we’ll go one by one based on the submitted PRs.
