ToneDryPush the waterout of your speaker.
A splash, a swim, a phone caught in the rain: water stays trapped and muffles the sound. ToneDry plays a low, undulating sound that vibrates the speaker membrane to help the water come out. A 30-second cycle, one tap.

A low sound, chosen for water
Each cycle sweeps a range of frequencies built for its use: water around 165 Hz, dust in pulses, a deeper clean over a wide range. All of them sit in the low end, where the membrane vibrates enough to dislodge water.

ToneDry, the app to eject water from your phone's speaker
ToneDry (ToneDry: Eject Water) is an Android app that plays a low, undulating sound cycle to help push out water trapped in your phone's speaker after a splash, a swim or rain. You turn the volume up, unplug headphones and Bluetooth, hold the phone with the speaker facing down and start a 30-second cycle, with a clear countdown and a button to stop at any time.
You then compare the sound before and after: clearer, same or hard to say. The app offers four cycles (water, dust, deep clean and vibration only), a guided 3-pass protocol, a sound test and a stereo test to check the left and right speakers separately, and a speaker test sweeping from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. A widget, a quick settings tile and an icon shortcut start a cycle in one tap.
The sound is generated by the app: the microphone is never used and there is no account. The free version contains ads; Pro, a one-time lifetime purchase, removes them and adds adjustable frequency with calibration, continuous and pulsed modes, presets, a cycle duration of your choice, vibration mode and extra themes. ToneDry helps clear water but does not replace full drying or a repair.
ToneDry: frequently asked questions
How do I get water out of a phone speaker?
Turn the volume up, unplug headphones and Bluetooth, hold the phone upright with the speaker facing down, then start a 30-second ToneDry cycle: a low, undulating sound vibrates the speaker membrane to help the water out. Then compare the sound and repeat if needed.
Why does my phone sound muffled after a swim?
Water can stay trapped in the speaker and keep the membrane from vibrating freely, which muffles the sound. Vibrating the membrane with a low sound helps clear it.
Is ToneDry safe for the speaker?
The cycle is short (30 seconds by default) and played loud: keep the phone away from your ear and keep a reasonable volume in manual mode. A loud, prolonged sound can strain a speaker, which is why cycles are brief.
Does ToneDry use the microphone?
No, never. The sound is generated by the app itself and it does not ask for the microphone permission.
Can the app repair a wet phone?
No. It helps clear water from the speaker, but it does not replace full drying or a repair. If the device was submerged for a long time or stopped working, see a professional.
What is the difference between the four cycles?
The water cycle sweeps around 165 Hz, the dust cycle sends pulses at 260 Hz, deep clean sweeps from 100 to 1,200 Hz, and vibration only shakes the phone without sound (with Pro).
Is the app free?
Yes, with ads. A one-time Pro purchase removes them and adds adjustable frequency with calibration, continuous and pulsed modes, presets, a cycle duration of your choice, vibration mode and extra themes. There is no subscription.
Where can I download ToneDry?
