Volume Zone vs HushStep

Volume Zone automatically adjusts your media volume based on where you are. Set it up once, and your phone takes care of itself. How it works Create a zone for any location — home, work, the gym, a library. Assign a volume level and notification tone to each zone. When you arrive, Volume Zone silently applies your settings. When you leave, it restores your defaults. Why you'll love it No more blasting music when you walk into the office. No more missing calls because you forgot to turn the volume back up at home. Volume Zone handles all of it in the background, without you lifting a finger. Features Set a custom media volume for any location Choose a notification sound per zone Visual map picker with address search, just tap to place a pin Adjustable geofence radius (50–500m) to suit each location Instant status on the home screen showing your active zone Runs silently in the background using iOS location services Unlock unlimited zones with a one-time Pro upgrade Free tier includes Home and Work zones — the two locations most people need most.

Keep your favorite volume and brightness settings one tap away. Every feature is free. No ads, subscriptions, or account required. FINE MEDIA VOLUME CONTROL Adjust iPhone and iPad media volume with a slider, numeric input, and step buttons. Enter precise values and see system readback; the available precision depends on iOS and the current output device. UNLIMITED PRESETS AND SCENE GROUPS Save as many volume presets as you need, optionally including screen brightness. Organize them into groups for reading, working, bedtime, and more. Removing a group keeps its presets. INDEPENDENT WIDGET CONFIGURATION Existing preset widgets remain available. Each new Custom Scenes widget can independently display a group or up to four selected presets. Interactive widgets require iOS 17 or later and open HushStep to apply settings. BRIGHTNESS CONTROL Attach brightness to a preset and optionally reapply it when returning to HushStep. iOS restores system brightness after the screen locks. HushStep does not lock brightness in the background or disable automatic brightness. LOCAL STORAGE Your presets, groups, and preferences stay on your device. No account is needed. Requires iOS 16 or later.
