Silence O'Clock 2.0

A demo of the spiffy effects on the Quick Slice creation widget.

At long last, I've finished a bunch of new features and modifications to my Silence O'Clock app. Besides changing "Silence Period" to "Silence Slice"-- it's alliterative, and I wasn't a fan of the old wording anyway-- the biggest new thing is the addition of "Quick Slice." With Quick Slices, with just a "slice" (in this case, a sliding motion with your finger) and a couple taps, you can set your phone to silent for 15 minutes up to 6 hours, after which your ringtone will automatically be turned back on. This feature is perfect for movies or unscheduled meetings-- you'll miss any calls because you forgot to turn your ringer back on again!

Silence O'Clock 1.3

Just a quick update to point out that I released v1.3 of my Silence O'Clock app today. This version brings a slew of bug fixes that have been waiting a long time to see the light of day. I would love to have pushed them out sooner, but have been swamped with work for my various classes and have just had zero time to myself. Hopefully I'll get some more time soon, because I have a lot of exciting ideas for WeGoIgo, not to mention my games.

Silence O'Clock

Today I published a simple app to automatically set your phone to silent (or vibrate) mode. The one I had been using didn't have a toggle feature, so if you wanted to temporarily disable some setting (like classes, when going on break), you had to delete it, and then add it back later-- a huge pain! In response to this frustration, I sat down and wrote this app. Not only can you toggle individual Silence Periods, but each Period belongs to a Group, which you can toggle in order to disable or enable every Period that belongs to it at once-- Now, I can just put all of my Silent Periods for class in a group, and just toggle that checkbox on breaks. Perfect!

Silence O'Clock is just $0.99 in the Market. I'll probably release a free version with limited features (probably just a single group, for example) at some point in the future.
