- Simple toggle to block audio to specific devices (e.g., smartwatch)
- Compatibility with major communication apps (Teams, Zoom, Slack)
Target Users: Professionals who use communication apps on multiple audio devices (smartwatch, headphones, speakers) and want reliable control over notification sound output.
Revenue Model: Freemium: basic routing for one app free; $2.99/mo unlimited apps and advanced rules.
