delphitools is a collection of colour converters, typography calculators, image utilities, QR generators, encoding tools, and other things you shouldn't need an app for but apparently do, because every time you try to do something simple on the web you end up fighting cookie banners, mandatory sign-ups, and ads for things you'll never buy. No accounts. No analytics. No network calls. Nothing leaves your device. I can't believe I have to say this. There is no reason for a hex-to-RGB converter to phone home. 90+ tools. Runs on iPhone and iPad. Does exactly what it says. Nothing more.

App Volume saves a target media volume for each app on iPhone and iPad. After you install the shortcut template and configure its App trigger, opening or switching to a selected app applies its saved level to the system media volume. Note: Due to system limitations, this app cannot keep independent volume levels for two apps playing at the same time. The volume of music playing in the background may also change. — HOW IT WORKS — 1. Create a mode and add your apps with their target volumes (TikTok 30%, Podcast 70%, Netflix 80%). 2. Install Per-App Volume in Apple Shortcuts. On iOS 27, select apps in the App trigger at the top of the template. On earlier versions, follow the in-app guide to create a Personal Automation. 3. When you add an app rule, also add that app to the trigger in Shortcuts. Changing volumes or switching modes does not require editing the shortcut. 4. Add the widget to Lock Screen, Home Screen, or Control Center — tap to switch the whole mode in one go. — NEW: HEADPHONE VOLUMES — Turn on "Separate headphone volume" for any app to give it a second, headphone-only level. Bluetooth helper automations handle the switch when they run; wired headphones aren't supported. — 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. — FEATURES — • Saved volume per app: applies the preset to the system media volume when you open the app • Headphone volumes — a second per-app volume that applies while Bluetooth headphones are connected • Modes — bundle rules into named modes, swap the whole set instantly • Global rules — pin an app's volume across every mode; great for games that should always open muted • Ready-made modes — browse Discover, install Bedtime or Silent Game Ads in one tap • Share your setup — send any mode as a picture + link a friend can import • Widgets everywhere — Lock Screen, Home Screen, Control Center (iOS 18+): see the active mode, tap to switch • Switch notifications — silent banner by default, sound + haptic, or off • iCloud backup — modes backed up to your iCloud — GOOD TO KNOW — Headphone volume requires the Bluetooth helper automations. After disconnection, the speaker volume may take a few seconds to return. Wired headphones are not supported. — PRIVACY FIRST — • No ad tracking or data sales. We collect basic analytics and crash reports. Feedback you choose to send reaches us with its text, optional email, app/build and iOS versions, device model, and locale. • No microphone, no location, no contacts • Troubleshooting guide • Privacy Policy in Settings → Privacy — SUPPORT — Use the in-app feedback button to reach us directly — we read every message.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: delphitools at 100% against App Volume's 40%. delphitools also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). App Volume's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
