Ring Reminder watches your ringer in the background and instantly alerts you when it's muted, vibrate-only, on Do Not Disturb, or too quiet to hear.
Ring Reminder runs quietly in the background. You only hear from it when something needs your attention.
A lightweight foreground service monitors your ringer mode every 30 seconds. It uses virtually no battery and stays running even when the screen is off.
The moment your phone goes silent, vibrate-only, Do Not Disturb, or below your volume threshold — Ring Reminder notices immediately.
A small coloured badge appears on your screen. Tap it to expand — you can unmute instantly without leaving whatever you're doing.
Snooze the alert, schedule unmute for later, or just dismiss it. Ring Reminder works with you, not against you.
Thoughtfully built features that solve the real problem — missed calls — without bloat.
A small badge sits over any app showing your current ringer state. Tap to expand for full controls — unmute, snooze, schedule — without switching apps.
Choose which conditions to watch: Silent mode, Vibrate-only, Do Not Disturb, and Low ringer volume (configurable threshold). Enable just the ones that matter to you.
Heading into a meeting? Snooze for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, or until you manually change your ringer. Alerts resume automatically when the snooze ends.
Tap "Unmute in…" from the overlay to schedule your phone to unmute automatically — in 30 minutes, an hour, or any custom time. A notification lets you cancel if plans change.
Enable repeat nudges so Ring Reminder reminds you again after 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes if your phone is still in the wrong state — no more forgetting to re-enable it.
Add a small 1×1 or wide 2×1 widget to your home screen. It shows your ringer status at a glance and — when an alert is active — taps straight through to expand the overlay.
A Quick Settings tile in your notification shade shows current status and lets you jump straight into the app — handy when you need a quick check without unlocking.
Optional short vibration pulse confirms the moment you unmute — a satisfying tactile confirmation that your ringer is back on.
The core features are free forever. Pro unlocks extras for people who want more control.

Ring Reminder is upfront about every permission it requests and why. Your data never leaves your device.
Required to display the persistent monitoring notification and alert heads-up notifications. The persistent notification is kept at minimum priority so it doesn't interrupt you.
Allows Ring Reminder to show the floating overlay badge on top of any app. Without this, the alert can only appear as a standard notification. Your screen content is never read or captured.
Lets Ring Reminder detect when DND is active and turn it off when you tap "Unmute". Without this, it can alert you about DND but cannot automatically disable it for you.
Prevents Android from suspending the monitoring service when your phone is idle. Without this, the service can be killed by the system after a few minutes of screen-off time.
Used only to detect incoming calls so the overlay badge can pulse when a call arrives while your phone is muted. Ring Reminder never reads the content of your notifications.
Used only for the per-app suppression feature — to detect which app is in the foreground so alerts can be paused while you're using selected apps. No browsing history or personal data is accessed.
