WHAT IS THIS?!
--------------
Scream2Mute is a real-time decibel-triggered muting machine
for macOS. When your voice crosses the danger threshold,
your microphone gets muted automatically.

Yes.
It weaponizes your own volume against you.

Perfect for:
• Zoom meltdowns
• Unexpected existential crises
• Academic rage spirals
• Late-night debugging screams
• Domestic karaoke disasters


INSTALLATION
------------
1. Open the Scream2Mute application.
2. If macOS warns you, right-click → Open.
3. Grant Microphone permissions when prompted.
4. Set your decibel threshold.
5. Scream responsibly.


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------
• macOS 11+
• Microphone access
• Emotional volatility (optional but encouraged)


HOW IT WORKS
------------
Scream2Mute continuously monitors input audio levels.
If the decibel value exceeds your configured threshold:

    🔊 > THRESHOLD  →  🔇 MUTE ACTIVATED

When you calm down:

    🔊 < THRESHOLD  →  🎤 MIC RESTORED

Your chaos becomes silence.
Technology wins.


WARNING
-------
• May prevent coworkers from knowing your true feelings.
• Not responsible for suppressed artistic expression.
• Extended use may result in mysterious inner peace.


TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
APP WON'T OPEN?
→ Right-click and choose "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper.

NO AUDIO DETECTED?
→ Check System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone.

STILL YELLING?
→ Lower threshold.
Or seek tea.
