## See how it works

01

### Switch it on once

One toggle enables the floating view. An optional percentage label shows the current volume right on the button.

02

### One tap, instant silence

Tap the button and the volume drops to 0%; tap again and it returns to where it was. Works over video calls and fullscreen apps.

03

### Put it where it never gets in the way

Drag the button anywhere on screen — over a lesson, a call or a game — and it stays there.

![Floating Mute — Follows the real volume](https://al-mo.de/assets/mirror/FloatingMute-phoneScreenshots-04.png)

04

### Follows the real volume

If you change the volume with the hardware keys, the button adapts automatically, so it never lies about the state.
