Silence!

No more embarrassing calls/text with Silence! Just pocket, holster, or flip it.

General

Known problems/quirks

1. Occasionally the proximity sensor registers "out of holster" when it's already out of the holster.

You wouldn't notice this unless you having logging set to Verbose. It plays a short tone when

Silence! detects it is already out of the holster.

2. Certain surfaces, like wood lament surfaces, don't register with the proximity sensor.
