About Shush

No ads!
Shush automatically quiets down your device while you are using it. When the screen is unlocked, silent mode is activated. When the screen is turned off, the last non-silent setting is restored. Note this only affects notifications, not music, games or alarms.
The idea is that when you are using your device, you will see notifications in the top pull-down menu anyway, so it isn't necessary to also play the sound and/or vibrate. It is especially useful if you are receiving many IMs while you are doing something else.
An optional in-app purchase unlocks the ability to restore the non-silent setting while any installed app you choose is active. This can be useful for example if you would like to still hear notifications while playing a full-screen game.

This app requires the following permissions:
- Read Phone State/Identity: This is so that the ringer is not silenced when the phone is unlocked due to an incoming call. This permission enables Shush to tell if the phone is ringing or not (that is all it does with this permission).
- Run At Startup: This is to allow Shush to be active right after a restart. This way you don't have to open the app first.
- Retrieve Running Apps: This is necessary to allow Shush to restore the non-silent setting during a particular app.

needs update... hasn't been in a long time(2yrs+). I love this app have had it for years but recently I installed a third party lock screen app (Hi Locker) It mutes my phone when the lock screen is on even though I have checked the box "Don't silence when running" for that lock screen app. I would be really happy if you could fix this or help me fix it. I hate hearing notification sound when I'm looking right at my device.... This app is wonderful for that and has work without flaw until now! I recommend it. I just wish I could figure out how to fix this lock screen conflict. please update or help me!!!

Not working with my Motorola Assist. Force put it on loud even if the phone is supposed to be on silent.

Been using for a long time. Could you update to the new lollipop notification? Now it changes to priority instead of silent.

Hi ... I'm using this app from almost 3 years. But, by the time I updated my Moto G to Android 5.0.2, This app is not working anymore. Request you developer to fix this.. I'm addicted of this app... Please fix it....

Very simple app but it is very helpful and does what it says. This app needs update for lollipop.

F70%

You just can't put your phone on silent with the screen off. It turns it back on.

Finally "Please do not disturb" is available in apps too, I wish if you can add a small Bell widget 1×1 to switch it on and off thx

First time was a winner. Thanks for letting us redditors know.

D70%
by D####:

Great idea, however, this app overwrites any ringer command you give your phone. If you happen to be at a movie and you turn your ringer off, this app will turn it back on when locked, or if you go to bed and turn your notifications off, this app will turn them back on... I also have a desk dock that keeps your phone unlocked... forget about getting your notifications when docked.

Wonderful working.

Works exactly as stated. It is nice to not have to change any extra settings and what a relief to not constantly hear notifications when I'm already looking at my phone.

When the screen is off, my phone keeps going into vibrate. I actually wanted the phone go into full volume when the screen is off. If that is fixed, this is a five star application

F70%
by F####:

But uninstalled. When my screen was off it was too loud for my taste. I felt like I wasn't in control of my phone volume enough.

K70%
by K####:

I can see this being beneficial for the average phone user. But for me, not worth spending $$ for the in-app purchases to acquire features that I already know how to activate with my native software. A well designed app, nonetheless.

Stays silent for a bit, but sound turns back on.

This is one of those apps that makes you say, this should be a standard.

D70%

Used to work like a charm earlier but now most of the time this does not work unless I go manually and open the app. This works till the time remains on. When it goes off and then on, it again does not work. Please fix it and I will give 5 Stars

Works perfect

Y70%

The app works wonderfully but I found one minor side affect. When using this with GPS applications the voice of the navigation is very muted. Is this my error or a side effect of the app?

J70%
by J####:

I would like to be able to choose when to use the app. For ex: only after 20:00. Also, I've installed the app with AppGratis but it seems like I still have to buy the app, so it's not very fair :)

by C####:

Amazing app. A must have. Only one let down so far.. when am in loud mode(silent while using the mobile), the profile changes to loud if the backlit goes off. I thot shush turns on loud mode when screen is locked, but it does that whn the backlit goes off, so i had to goto silent mode manually....

C70%
by C####:

It does exactly for it promises. However, because of this I cannot silent my phone without manually disable the app. No matter how many times I turn the phone to vibrate, the phone turns itself back to sound mode every single I lock the phone. More options for this would surely make this app perfect. Will rate 5 if this is fixed.

As your apps work while screen is on but I m not able to silent my mobile when it in a dock...every time i have to close your apps before manually i can vsilent my mb,otherwise i lovve it.

I put this on my tablet and my phone. It's great on the tablet. On the phone, if I set my phone to vibrate, it will set it back to ring as soon as I lock the screen.
