A few years ago, I was disturbed by phone calls in the middle of the night twice, which led me to habitually set my phone to vibrate mode. Fortunately, with the improvement of phone system features, various personalized settings now help me avoid interruptions. However, deciding when to turn on the sound and when to keep it completely silent seems difficult to leave to the phone’s automatic judgment. So, is there a better solution? The Timed Silence app might just provide the perfect answer.
The functionality of Timed Silence is simple; it mainly helps you manage your phone’s volume, vibration, and silent settings. It offers multiple conditions for adjustment, such as automatically changing based on time, syncing with calendar events, or adjusting according to connected Bluetooth devices.
For example, with time-based settings, if you don’t want to be disturbed during your working hours from 8 AM to 12 PM, you can go to the settings page, click to add a new entry labeled "Work", choose your desired mode (such as sound, silent, or vibration), and set the corresponding time frame. Once the designated time arrives, the app will automatically adjust your phone to the preset mode, and the settings can even be fine-tuned for specific days of the week.
For calendar events, if you want your phone to automatically silence during meetings, you can select the corresponding calendar. When the calendar event reminder triggers, the app will automatically adjust your phone to the set mode. For even more precise control, you can manually add keywords, so when those specific keywords appear in calendar events, the app will adjust the status accordingly. The Bluetooth-based adjustment is also very intuitive; for instance, if you want your phone to stay silent when connected to your home speaker, just select the device in the Bluetooth list. Once the phone connects, the app will automatically adjust the volume.
Overall, compared to the default Do Not Disturb mode on phones, Timed Silence offers more conditions for adjustment and allows you to precisely control the volume levels in the settings, offering greater detail. In addition, Timed Silence excels in visualization, displaying simple graphs on the app’s homepage that let you clearly see the status of your phone during different time periods, making it easier to adjust as needed.
You can download and experience Timed Silence through Vipdown.
