Ad-silence - OpenSource APK

Ad-silence - OpenSource

Overview

• Ad-silence is an open-source, cross-platform utility designed to automatically mute advertisements and promotional segments in media streaming applications.

• Whether you use AccuRadio, Spotify, SoundCloud, Pandora, or virtually any other audio/video app, Ad-silence can detect and silence unwanted interruptions.

• Its design focuses on being minimal, highly extensible, and extremely lightweight, with a total app size of less than 150KB.

Key Features

1. Full Customization

• Preloaded support for popular streaming apps.

• Ability to add new custom applications to the mute list.

• Adjust mute triggers using keywords relevant to your target app.

• Configure "unmute delay" settings to fine-tune when audio resumes.

2. Minimal User Interface

• Simple, clutter-free visual layout.

• Focus on functionality over unnecessary design elements.

3. Lightweight Build

• Optimized for performance with minimal resource usage.

• Under 150KB, making it ideal for devices with limited storage.

4. Integrated Debug Logging

• Built-in debug log viewer to help track events and troubleshoot issues.

• Enables easier identification of why and when muting occurs.

5. Casting Support

• Works with casting devices such as Google Chromecast and similar streaming hardware.

• Ensures ads are muted even when casting to external speakers or displays.

6. No In-App Purchases or Ads

• 100% free to use with no hidden fees.

• No advertisements within the app itself.

7. Open Source

• Source code available for review, modification, and contribution.

• Transparency and community-driven development.

How It Works

• Ad-silence operates by monitoring audio playback and detecting predefined patterns or keywords that indicate an advertisement or promotion is active.

• Once detected, it temporarily mutes system audio until the ad ends, then automatically restores sound.

• This process is customizable and can be adapted for different applications or content types.

FAQ

Q: Is Ad-silence compatible with my device?

A: Yes, Ad-silence is built to be cross-platform. While specific installation methods may vary depending on your operating system, the tool is designed to work on major desktop platforms. It is lightweight and optimized to run on devices with limited storage or resources, so even older hardware can run it without performance issues.

Q: How does the application actually detect an advertisement?

A: The tool operates by monitoring active audio playback for specific patterns and keywords. It comes pre-configured with detection logic for popular streaming apps, looking for cues that signal an ad is playing. Once a trigger is detected—such as a specific audio signature or keyword—Ad-silence commands your system to mute the audio output immediately. When the ad finishes and regular content resumes, the tool unmutes the audio automatically.

Q: Does Ad-silence work with casting devices like Chromecast?

A: Yes, it does. One of the standout features of Ad-silence is its casting support. Whether you are using Google Chromecast or other similar streaming hardware to send audio to external speakers or displays, Ad-silence can detect ads on the casting device and mute them. This ensures that your whole-home audio setup remains ad-free, not just the audio coming directly from your computer or phone.
