MyProfiles
MyProfiles is a terrific app to effectively set alerts for various functions on your iPhone
. It takes the stress out of having to constantly change the alert settings on your phone each time you step in to a meeting, take a nap and so on. You can customize alerts for critical emails and SMS messages according to subject, who the sender is and the time they are sent. So you don’t have to keep checking your phone each time an email or text message is delivered.

Simply eliminating the small hassles in your day can make a whole lot of difference. My Profiles is a great way to get started and put some order in your day-to-day schedule.
Auto Silent
Auto Silent is one of the most popular applications to manage the sound on your
iPhone. It is an effective solution to automatically and manually enable alerts and assign preferential ones for a number of specific purposes.
With the manual mode you can disable sounds or vibrations and set a time to automatically restore their signals so that they are initiated at convenient times. For automatic mode the app will automatically put your phone in silent mode according to predefined schedules for meetings, appointments and other important occasions. Once the allotted time for those occasions has elapsed, the app will enable the alerts once again.
Auto Silent can also sync with your calendar entries so no matter if the silent mode is enabled, it will always alert you once the calendar event was configured to alarm. Additionally, you can create your own schedules and profiles and set the phone to alarm according to those settings, instead of alarming for each calendar event. Plus it has an independent silent switch that will work alternatively, especially if the phone’s built-in sound switch goes bad.
