Audio & Haptic Settings

Lamplit's sound and haptic feedback are designed to make solving feel satisfying. All of it is adjustable — or can be turned off entirely — from Settings.

The silent switch

Lamplit always respects the physical silent switch on your iPhone. When silent mode is on, no audio plays — sound effects and ambient sound are both muted regardless of your in-app settings. Haptics are not affected by the silent switch and will still fire if enabled.

Headphones recommended for ambient sound. The crackling fire background is mixed for low volume and sounds best through earbuds or headphones. At low speaker volumes it may be inaudible — this is expected behaviour.

Interruptions

If you receive a phone call, play audio in another app, or your device is interrupted in any other way, Lamplit pauses ambient audio and resumes it when you return to the app. Sound effects resume normally. Lamplit won't fight other audio sources for priority.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have haptics on but sound off?
Yes. Sound effects and haptic feedback are controlled by separate toggles in Settings. Any combination is supported.

The ambient fire sound cuts out when I lock my screen. Is that normal?
Yes. Lamplit's ambient audio pauses when the app moves to the background or the screen locks. It resumes when you return to the app.

Haptics aren't working even though the setting is on. What should I check?
Make sure haptics are enabled system-wide on your iPhone. Go to Settings → Sounds & Haptics and check that System Haptics is turned on. Also note that haptics don't work on all iPhone models — older devices without Taptic Engine hardware won't vibrate.
