Works on the time dimension rather than space - whenever you put your cell on silent/vibrate, allows you to specify a timeout after which the ringer volume is restored. You have the option to put it on silent indefinitely as well choose the volume it gets restored to.

It obviously runs at startup (it has to, given the functionality) but other than that, its permissions are a big fat zero.

You're welcome, Rage 
I'm kinda surprised (and disappointed) it doesn't have this feature built in. My plain old Nokia 3120 (not 3120 classic) that I bought in 2004 and still use has not only 6 customizable profiles (a profile can mute all calls except from the Family group, for instance), but also the ability to "time" them so they expire at a set time.
For instance, I put my cell on silent every night but use this feature so the ringer is restored at 05:30.
While I love the customizability of Android, there are some VERY basic things it leaves out that even the dumbest of phones could do 10+ years back. You shouldn't have to install an app for everything.
I love my Nokia's calendar feature, every Android calendar I've tried, including Google calendar, has to take a backseat to this.
Cheers,

I'm always surprised that Android does not have this built in. My wife has an old pre-Android phone, and when she sets it to silent it allows her to give a timeout value, after which the sounds are automatically set on again.

Since you do remember to mute your phone, if you Android 5 or higher, there is an easy solution. On the main lock screen, try to change the volume. When you do a sub-screen will show up where you can change your phone to Priority Mode[^] for up to 8 hours. Then it won't ring for 8 hours and auto turn off at the end of that time.

I have 5.0; but it looks like HTC has skinned priority mode out of existence on my phone.  I get a popup with just the master slider and a gear button. The latter lets me adjust volumes for a few other things independently of the master volume but doesn't have anything that looks like what Gizmodo's showing. In any event, I'd need a 9 hour mute time.

I use Ring Scheduler. It allows you to set times to mute / change volume and you can do it for set days of the week or every day. I've set it once and never had to worry about it again. It is easy to cancel the setting for a given time by just adjusting the phone settings as you normally would.

A time based scheduler'd fail on days I'm working from home; which is why I initially asked about a location based one.

I think it's relative. As the scholar al Jarreau taught, the Shakira teaches that it is better to Cher your Meatloaf than to condemn your Bros to an Iron Maiden.

On this Journey, we shall travel in only One Direction. Past the Winehouse, through Dire Straits and along the banks of the river Styx. We shall break Bread with the New Kids on the Block on this day of Black Sabbath. We'll work out the Kinks from our muscles and expand our Simple Minds for we are not Pretenders, but Eagles soaring over Asia in a Rush to Freedom.
