MuteGuard

Mute, lock, timer. Guaranteed quiet.

What it does

Three controls, nothing more: 🔇 Mute — silences all audio streams (media, ringtone, notifications, alarms) in one tap. Tap again to restore your previous levels exactly. 🔒 Mute & Lock — silences your device and runs a background service that resets any volume increase back to zero immediately. No app, game, or system event can break the silence while the lock is active. ⏱️ Timed Mute — pick a duration, tap Start. Your device stays silent and locked for the entire countdown.

    Smart Silence – Remind your iPhone to stay quiet in quiet places2025 · testflight.apple.com · ▲55

    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.…

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
