Muffled speaker after the pool, the shower, or a spilled drink? Clear Speaker plays a tuned sweep of low-frequency tones that vibrate the speaker membrane and help push trapped water out. What makes this speaker cleaner different: it measures. Most apps play a tone and leave you guessing. Clear Speaker records a short probe sweep before and after the cleaning session, compares the treble-to-bass energy ratio, and shows you the difference. Water on the membrane adds mass and damps high frequencies — as it clears, the ratio climbs. You see the change instead of hoping for it. - Quick Eject is free and unlimited. No paywall before your first clean. - No ads. None, anywhere, ever. - Automatic mode plus manual frequency control — type the exact Hz if you want it. - Run it again with one tap. Most people need three to eight passes, and the app says so. - Works fully offline. It never needs the internet to play a tone through your own speaker. - Volume warning before it starts, so it never surprises you at night. - Sound stops the moment you leave the screen. Also clears dust and lint from the grille, and helps when your phone thinks headphones are plugged in. Clear Speaker Pro unlocks the full cleaning programs, dust mode and the volume booster. Subscription with an annual and a weekly plan; the trial length and the renewal price are shown on the purchase screen before you commit. Cancel any time in your account settings. https://mavenwright.com/legal/terms https://mavenwright.com/legal/privacy
