If you regularly forget your iPhone in silent mode (muted) then this app is for you! Now with VOIP support! SilentAlert Plus is an enhanced version of SilentAlert with VOIP support. SilentAlert Plus alerts you that your phone is muted in 3 cases: 1. When your switch stays silent for specific time. 2. When you leave the location where it was muted. 3. On arrival to specific locations. - The badge 1 on the SilentAlert Plus icon indicates if your device is muted. Once your device is set to ring again the badge with the number 1 is cleared. Inside the app: -------------- Settings --------- Email Support: Click on this icon to send us the console log. If the application badge contains the number 1 then your phone is muted. (Silent Mode). When no badge is displayed then your phone is not muted. (Ring mode). Alert ----- - Alert Only Once: If enabled SilentAlert Plus will notify you only once when your device is muted, otherwise you will receive notification every x minutes or x km. - Vibrate On Alert: Notification with vibration - Alert Me Every x Minutes If your switch is muted and you set the reminder time to 30 minutes (default) then you will be alerted every 30 minutes that your switch is muted (First alert will be between 30-60 minutes). A badge with the total time will be added to the application icon. In case you switch back to ring mode the alert will be cancelled. - Alert On Move After x km: You can set alert by distance. You can set any distance in km. When you are on the move and the distance between the location you muted the phone and your current location is more than the distance parameter an alert will be displayed with the time your phone was muted. Location --------- You can also add specific locations to alert you if your phone is muted while you enter those locations. The application uses “Location Services” with minimum power usage. The application runs in the background after closing it. You must enable location services and set them to always if you use location alerts.

Thought Path is an inbox to quickly capture all your thoughts, ideas, and tasks. Easily see the output of your brain over time, on a map, or in search results. You can integrate Thought Path with Shortcuts, to automate capturing and reviewing your thoughts. Though Path is free to use indefinitely, but you will need to review and archive all your thoughts once you reach a cap of 15. Pro users can remove this limit with a subscription fee. This app is made by a sole indie developer, and that means I care about user experience, not collecting user data. All your thoughts and ideas are saved on device and synced over iCloud - nothing is ever sent anywhere else for any reason.
