Granular Volume: Quiet Dial

Record body

Abstract

Sometimes the lowest volume setting is still too loud. The first notch above mute can be too much for a quiet room, a sleeping baby, or a sensitive pair of headphones. Android does not let you go lower. Granular Volume does. Granular Volume adds the volume levels your phone leaves out. It places a small floating dial over any app, so you can fine tune the output below the hardware minimum, down to a whisper, and back again. One tap, always within reach. QUIETER THAN YOUR PHONE ALLOWS Most volume apps only make things louder. Granular Volume goes the other way. It inserts fine attenuation steps beneath the lowest hardware step, for the moments when even the minimum is too much. MADE FOR QUIET MOMENTS - White noise or lullabies for a sleeping baby, kept barely audible - A podcast or audiobook to fall asleep to, without waking the person beside you - Sensitive IEMs and bone conduction headphones, where even a few percent is too strong - A library, a quiet office, meditation, or late night reading A FLOATING DIAL, ALWAYS IN REACH The control floats above whatever you are doing. Drag it anywhere on screen, tuck it to an edge when you are done, or close it with a single tap. Your position is remembered next time. IT TOUCHES NOTHING ELSE Granular Volume does not take over your volume buttons and does not replace your system volume panel. It sits quietly on top as an overlay, so it stays stable and works alongside your music, your calls, and your other apps. SIMPLE BY DESIGN No equalizer maze. No presets to manage. No account to create. One dial that does one thing well. FREE, PRIVATE, OPEN No ads. No tracking. Nothing collected. Granular Volume is open source under the GPL-3.0 license. PERMISSIONS, EXPLAINED - Display over other apps, so the dial can float above your apps - Modify audio settings, to apply the volume attenuation - Run a foreground service, to keep the control reliable while you listen - Start on boot, so it is ready when you need it If the lowest setting has ever been too loud, this is the volume you were missing.
