TV Sound Off
Mute your TV with Siri or the Action button
Every TV Sound Off command also works with Siri, in the Shortcuts app and on the Action button, so muting the TV is one press or one sentence away.
iPhone · $0.99 one-time · listed on the App Store as “Game On Now Lite”
Try it
- “Hey Siri, Game On Now Lite volume down”
- Add a TV Sound Off action in the Shortcuts app and run it from your Home Screen or widgets.
- On iPhones with an Action button, assign that shortcut to mute the TV with one press.
On the App Store the app is listed as “Game On Now Lite”, so Siri phrases use that name.
Works with
Samsung, LG, Vizio and Sony Bravia smart TVs; TVs with Roku built in (TCL, Hisense, Sharp, Insignia and more); Roku streaming players; and Sonos soundbars and speakers.
Inside the app
- “TV volume down” or “TV quieter”
- “TV volume up 10” or “TV louder a little”
- “TV volume 15” jumps to a level
- “TV mute” then “TV unmute” or “Game on”
- “Game off” and “game on” mute and unmute during commercials (also “show off / show on”, “TV off / TV on”)
Questions
Does it detect commercials automatically?
No. TV Sound Off is a voice remote: you say “game off” when the break starts and “game on” when the game is back. It does not listen for or detect ads by itself.
Does “TV off” turn my TV off?
No. “Game off / game on”, “show off / show on” and “TV off / TV on” only mute and unmute. They never switch the TV itself off or on.
Is my voice sent anywhere?
No. Speech is recognized on your iPhone, the app listens only while it is open on screen, and it talks only to your TV over your home Wi-Fi. No account, no tracking, no data collected.
What does it cost?
$0.99 one-time on the App Store, no subscription.
