Read full description

HushStep is a focused utility for precise, quiet volume control. Use plus and minus buttons, a slider, or direct number input to adjust system volume in fine increments, especially for bedtime, headphones, podcasts, and other low-volume situations. Save frequently used presets and apply them quickly from the Home Screen widget or app icon quick actions. HushStep also includes screen brightness control; with Pro, you can create more presets and save brightness with a preset. The app does not play sound effects, does not require an account, and keeps presets on your device.
