SOS Ring is a FOSS Android app that overrides Silent, Vibrate, and Do Not Disturb when you receive a call from a whitelisted VIP contact. After the call ends, your phone is restored to its exact previous state. Available on F-Droid. Why? Android 14+ removed per-contact DND exceptions, and there is no built-in way to let specific contacts bypass silent mode. Google restricts READ CALL LOG on the Play Store, so this kind of app cannot be published there. SOS Ring solves this with a foreground service that monitors incoming calls and, when a VIP contact calls, plays the ringtone via the ALARM audio stream (the one stream that bypasses DND on every device). Features - Pick VIP contacts from the phonebook or enter them manually - Configurable override volume (25-100%) - Works in Silent , Vibrate , AND Do Not Disturb mode - Full state restore after the call (ringer mode, all volumes including alarm, DND) - Temporary mute timer (1-12 hours) without turning the service off - Survives reboots (auto-start) - Minimal battery usage (event-driven, no polling) - Dark mode (follows system), English and Italian - No ads, no analytics, no tracking - Optional peer-to-peer location sharing and live tracking (see below) Location sharing (optional, peer-to-peer) Entirely optional and off by default. It uses UnifiedPush as the transport, so there is no SOS Ring server : you pick a UnifiedPush distributor a","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/JackRushante","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/JackRushante/SOSRing/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
