## Description

**Silent Mode** is the easiest way to silence your phone without touching the screen. Simply flip your phone upside down, and it automatically switches to silent or vibrate mode, perfect for meetings, sleep, or quiet environments.

This Chrome extension includes a handy widget allowing you to toggle between silent and vibrate modes with one click. You can also adjust the sensitivity to fine-tune the exact tilt angle that triggers silent mode. Subtle sounds confirm activation and deactivation, ensuring you know when your phone is muted. Best of all, it’s completely free to use.

## Review summary

Users appreciate the Silent Mode app for effectively enabling quiet time during sleep or meetings and praise its developer support and user-friendly features like widgets. However, multiple users report bugs including silent mode reverting to no action unexpectedly, the app failing to restore previous volume states, inconsistent or unclear widget functions, settings resetting after reboot, and the app erroneously enabling sound on phone flips. While the core functionality is valued, these issues affect reliability and user trust.

### Pros

### Cons

- App has bugs causing silent mode to revert unexpectedly to 'do nothing' mode, affecting reliability.
- Silent mode sometimes toggles volume back on even if phone was muted or on vibrate before activation, which is disruptive.
- Widget inconsistencies: the widget featured in promotional material doesn't match available widgets; the function of existing widgets is unclear.
- Settings reset after reboot on certain devices, causing the app to stop functioning as expected.
- App turns on sound when flipping phone face down then back up, ignoring previous silent/vibrate states, indicating poor state management.
