VoluMate gives you full control over your devices audio output. The app eliminates unpredictable volume fluctuations and protects you from unpleasantly loud surprises, especially when using headphones. Instead of manually adjusting the volume every time you launch an app, VoluMate works in the background to ensure every application starts exactly at your preferred volume level. FEATURES AND BENEFITS INTELLIGENT AUDIO DETECTION VoluMate automatically detects the active audio route. The app precisely distinguishes between the internal iPhone speaker, connected headphones, and external sources such as AirPlay or CarPlay. INDIVIDUAL PROFILES You can create custom configurations for every app. Define three separate volume levels per application: one for the internal speaker, one for headphones, and one for external speakers. HEARING PROTECTION An integrated warning system proactively alerts you if you set a level above 75 percent to help protect your hearing. POWER USER AUTOMATION VoluMate is a powerful tool for power users that integrates seamlessly with the Apple Shortcuts app. You can create a personal automation that triggers when opening a target app, retrieves the stored value via the VoluMate shortcut action, and adjusts the system volume automatically. A detailed in-app tutorial guides you through this one-time setup process. PREMIUM BENEFITS Test the workflow completely free of charge with your first app configuration. Once you experience the value in your daily routine, a one-time premium upgrade allows you to create unlimited profiles and automate your entire iPhone.
