CLUSTER MUSIC-MUTES-STREAMING · 14 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-09-13
Audio muting and notification utilities
This cluster consists of utilities that automatically mute or fade audio advertisements in music streaming apps, pause background music during gameplay or inactivity, and alert users to missed notifications via sound. The dated history is sparse, with single entries in months scattered from August 2016 through April 2026, showing no concentrated formation period. BeatBridge, Ad-silence, and Ad-Free are the only members with activity signals, each at 0 stars, indicating minimal visible traction.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
