## What is App Volume?

App Volume: a volume per app — the per-app volume control iPhone & iPad have been missing.

Going from a quiet podcast to TikTok? No more eardrum panic. Each app gets its own volume — and now a second one just for headphones. Stop mashing the side button every time you switch apps. App Volume uses Apple's official Shortcuts engine — no jailbreak, no warranty risk, no privacy trade.

— WHY IT EXISTS —

iOS has ONE global media volume: whatever you played last sets the level for whatever you open next. Spotify-to-TikTok startles everyone on the bus, and your ears want different levels on headphones than on the speaker. Apple never built per-app volume — so we did, the official way, on Apple's own Shortcuts engine.

— HOW IT WORKS —

1. Create a volume profile and add your apps with their target volumes (TikTok 30%, Podcast 70%, Netflix 80%).
2. The in-app guide walks you through installing our pre-built template in Apple Shortcuts (one-time; every app you add later just works).
3. Follow the in-app animation to set up one Personal Automation — switching apps auto-applies the right volume.
4. Add the widget to Lock Screen, Home Screen, or Control Center — tap to switch the whole profile in one go.

— NEW: HEADPHONE VOLUMES —

Turn on "Different volume on headphones" for any app and it gets a second, headphone-only level — applied the moment your AirPods or Bluetooth headphones connect, switched back when they disconnect. Quieter reels in your ears, louder maps on the speaker.

— USE CASES —

• A volume per app — Podcast 70%, music 60%, video 80%. Set once; switching apps auto-applies.
• Ears vs room — TikTok at 25% on AirPods, 60% on the speaker.
• Night vs day — Tap the widget before bed to drop every app's volume at once.
• Out vs home — A "Public" profile with everything low; tap before walking into the office or class.

— FEATURES —

• Per-app volume targets — an independent volume for any app
• Headphone volumes — a second per-app volume that applies while headphones are connected
• Volume profiles — bundle rules into named profiles, swap the whole set instantly
• Global rules — pin an app's volume across every profile; great for games that should always open muted
• Ready-made profiles — browse Discover, install Bedtime or Silent Game Ads in one tap
• Share your setup — send any profile as a picture + link a friend can import
• Widgets everywhere — Lock Screen, Home Screen, Control Center (iOS 18+): see the active profile, tap to switch
• Switch notifications — silent banner when a profile applies (vibrate-only or off)
• iCloud backup — profiles backed up to your iCloud
• 46 languages

— GOOD TO KNOW —

Honest limits, no surprises:
• One volume at a time: App Volume sets the system volume the moment you open or switch to an app. iOS can't mix two apps playing at once — a video during a Discord call shares one level, and no App Store app can change that.
• It shines with apps you actively open and switch between. Audio already playing in the background keeps its level until you return to that app.
• Headphone switching needs Bluetooth — wired headphones can't trigger it; volumes correct the next time you open the app.

— PRIVACY FIRST —

• No tracking — crash reports + basic analytics, that's it
• No microphone, no location, no contacts
• Full transparency — the in-app FAQ details exactly how the Shortcuts integration works
• Privacy Policy in Settings → Privacy

— SUPPORT —

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-08-05*

I tried using it on my iPad to turn a video up while I was streaming in a Discord call but I could not turn the video up or the call down

**Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback, and sorry it didn't work for your setup. What you tried is unfortunately impossible on iPadOS for any app, not just ours: iOS has a single shared media volume, and there is no API to mix two apps that are playing sound at the same time (like a video and a Discord call). App Volume works by setting that one system volume to your preset the moment you open an app — it helps when switching between apps, but it can't separate audio playing simultaneously, and call audio uses its own volume channel entirely.

For your case, Discord itself can do the mixing: in the call, tap the participant or stream and lower its volume slider, then raise the system volume for your video. That's the only real per-source control iPadOS allows.

### 5/5 — Very Clever

*2026-06-03*

Having different volume profiles is nice, no complaints.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind words and the 5 stars! Glad App Volume's per-app profiles are working well for you. If there's ever a feature you'd like to see, just reach out via Settings → Send Feedback — always happy to hear ideas. 🙌
