Silenz features


Adjusting sound to your flow

Silenz picks up sounds from your surroundings and aligns them with your needs—either by silencing music or combining it with the outside world. Instead of removing headphones or pausing music, you stay on the task, always.


Manage pass-through settings

Want to focus more? Switch to the smart pass-through mode and the app will ignore irrelevant noise. Set pass-through to “Off” if you want to stop focusing on your sound environment. Tap manual and you’ll be able to pause music or pass-through surrounding sounds instantly.


Amplify and mix for super hearing

If you can multitask, your ears can multitask too. For exceptional focus, use Silenz as an intelligent mixer of sounds. The app will recognize and amplify sounds from the outside—if they are relevant—and combine them with your current music flow.


No pausing, no extra effort

You don’t have to get distracted by every change that’s happening in your sound environment. Set Silenz to pause music even with unplugged headphones and locked screen—whenever the app decides you should listen to the outside world.


Works with Bluetooth headphones

Silenz caters for wireless headphones. While it’s not recommended to use the same microphone of your Bluetooth headphones for input and output audio, the app enables you to switch to another input device in Preferences. All for a stunning audio quality.


Extensive media player support

Silenz controls the playback and music volume for the major media players you can use on Mac, including Apple Music, Apple TV, iTunes, Spotify, VOX, Radium, Audirvana, Decibel, Swinsian, Radiant Player, Hermes, Downcast, and VLC.

    App version: 1.8.1

    There’s a significant delay in the audio

    App version: 1.8.1

    Definitely needs tweaking. Its detection of voices isn't very accurate. I guess I shouldnt' expect it to work anywhere close to AirPods Pro 2 since those things have a lot more sensors.

    App version: 1.8.1

    Nothing happens after clicking "On" or "Smart", there is some short blink, but it stays on "Off".
