Show HN: Smart Silence – Remind your iPhone to stay quiet in quiet places Hi HN, I built an iPhone app called *Smart Silence* after sitting in a quiet setting (a service, actually) where someone’s phone rang loudly and interrupted everything. It wasn’t intentional — just one of those forgetful moments. I started wondering: what if our phones could gently remind us to stay silent when it matters? *Smart Silence* helps iPhone users do just that. It lets you: - Mark places where silence is expected (like libraries, meetings, classes, or houses of worship) - Get a reminder when you enter, with an easy Shortcut to enable Do Not Disturb - Schedule quiet times (e.g. “Mondays 9–11am at this place”) - Share Silent Places with others — so your community, school, or workspace can use the same setup - Stay fully in control — no auto-silencing, and no location tracking outside of defined zones It’s currently available via TestFlight: https://apple.co/4kj9CTl I’d love feedback — especially around usability, edge cases, or features you’d expect. If you run or attend a place where silence matters, I’d love to hear your thoughts. https://apple.co/4kj9CTl May 28, 2025 at 02:51PM
