Eject

Shakes the water out of your speaker with a low-frequency sweep.

ItalianoEnglish

Your phone went in the water, or out in the rain, and now the sound comes out muffled: there is water left in the speaker grille. Press the button and the app plays fourteen seconds of low-frequency sweep that carries it over the edge.

How to use it

Why that sound and not another

The sweep sits between 100 and 230 Hz: that is the band where a phone speaker's membrane travels furthest, and travel is the only thing that moves a droplet. And the tone falls and climbs back in pulses rather than holding steady, because a continuous note lets the water settle where it is: it is the change that walks it towards the edge.

Two programmes

You can see it working

The screen is not a progress bar: the rings leaving the grille are spaced by the frequency sounding at that instant, and the drops leave as the run goes on. What you see is what is coming out of the speaker.

It is not a repair

Eject does not repair a wet phone and is not a substitute for drying it. It clears the water left in the speaker grille, which is the most common cause of muffled sound after a soaking — and it stops there, rather than letting anyone believe otherwise.

Your data stays yours

The app does not use the microphone: it makes a sound, it never listens to one. No account, no server of ours, no audio files in the package — every sound is computed as it plays. The only permission is Internet, and the ads need it.

How it is paid for

One banner anchored at the bottom, and that is all: no subscription, no programme held hostage.
