PocketMode is back and better! Now supporting iOS 7, PocketMode 2 now also supports any application with notifications!

PocketMode makes your iPhone ring louder when it’s in your pocket or bag ensuring you don’t miss important calls or messages. As soon as you remove it the volume returns to normal. PocketMode is perfect for anyone who doesn’t want a noisy phone but also doesn’t want to miss important calls on the go.

PocketMode uses the ambient light sensor on your device to detect when it’s been placed in a dark location and gradually rings louder until you answer. PocketMode won’t disturb you at night though as it respects your Do Not Disturb settings.

PocketMode is fully configurable and can even override your mute switch. Choose whether to gradually increase volume, what level to increase to and even which app’s notifications to amplify in addition to calls and messages.

By using the ambient light sensor PocketMode is much quicker and more efficient than other solutions that power up the camera.

Compatible with iOS 7 and later. Check out PocketMode for iOS 4 compatibility.

No. PocketMode is limited to whatever the hardware’s maximum volume is.
