Quiet audio, louder. Not noisier.
Most volume boosters just push the gain up and let the sound tear. Amplia never ships gain without a limiter in the chain.

The difference is the limiter.
Push a signal past the ceiling and its peaks get cut off. What your ear hears as “crackle” is that. A limiter does not cut the peaks — it holds them.
Without a limiter
Peaks hit the ceiling and flatten.
Clipping → distortion
Amplia
Peaks are held just under the ceiling.
Louder music, not distortion
Decibels, not multipliers
There is no such thing as “500% louder”. The screen shows dB, because that is how sound is measured.
Whatever the device gave
If your phone refuses part of what you asked for, the reading stops there and the app says so.
The output badge
The top of the screen names where the sound is going — speaker, headphones or Bluetooth.
What the dial says is what happened.
Most volume boosters show you a percentage. That percentage is not a measurement of anything; it is there because it looks good on screen.
Amplia's dial shows the gain your device actually applied. Free tops out at +6 dB, Pro at +20 dB. If your phone will not deliver part of the request, we do not pretend — the reading stops where the device stopped.
It does not just enlarge the sound. It fixes it.
Equalizer
Five bands and three presets on the free tier; ten bands and all 14 presets with Pro. The band curve accounts for headroom too.
Bass, 3D, clarity, night
Bass boost and 3D widening; dialogue clarity brings speech forward; night mode holds down sudden loud moments.
Per-output profiles
A speaker wants one setting and headphones want another. Plug them in and the profile switches by itself.
Widget and tile
A home-screen widget and a Quick Settings tile — change the level without opening the app.
The in-app player
For phones where system-wide effects are blocked. In there, the boost is guaranteed to work.
Keeps running
The boost stays on while you listen in another app, and you control it from the notification.
The free tier is not a demo.
The limiter, hearing safety and the player are there at every tier. Pro opens the ceiling and the room to tune.

Turning it up is easy. Knowing the limit is not.
Amplia tracks your exposure against the WHO / ITU-T H.870 guideline and shows an estimated listening level — clearly marked as an estimate, because measuring it exactly would require microphone access we do not ask for.
You can set your own safe ceiling, and it works on the free tier. Putting hearing safety behind a paywall was never on the table.
A limiter prevents distortion; it does not prevent hearing damage. You choose the level — we would rather be the app that reminds you of that.
No account. No sign-in. No advertising ID.
Your settings, presets, profiles and listening history stay on your phone. If you subscribe, the only thing that leaves your device is the purchase receipt, verified by our payment provider RevenueCat.

- Cloud backup is off — settings do not go to Drive
It is not the same on every phone, and we do not hide that.
Android does not let every device apply effects to the system-wide audio mix; that depends on the manufacturer's audio implementation. On phones where it is blocked, Amplia says so plainly and offers its own player, where the boost is guaranteed to work. There is one more case: if the app you are playing in has its own equalizer switched on, Android silently disables ours — turning that equalizer off usually fixes it.
Does boosting volume distort the sound?
Without a limiter, yes. Amplia always puts a limiter in the chain: loud parts are held back instead of clipping, so what you hear is louder music, not distortion.
How much louder does Amplia make things?
Up to +6 dB on the free tier and up to +20 dB with Amplia Pro. The dial shows decibels the device actually applied — not a multiplier and not a percentage.
Why does the boost not work in another app?
Android does not permit system-wide audio effects on every device, and the app you are playing in may have its own equalizer that disables ours. Amplia says so plainly and offers its own player, where the effects are guaranteed to work. More detail on the support page.
Does Amplia have ads?
No. There have never been any and there will not be. Nothing interrupts you while you are adjusting the sound. Even locked presets play in full for thirty seconds before we ever mention a price.
Why is the listening level an estimate?
Measuring sound pressure at your ear would require microphone permission, and Amplia does not ask for it. The level is computed from device volume, the gain applied and the connected output, then assessed against the WHO/ITU-T H.870 guideline.
Louder, still clean.
