A look inside

SubSnooze settings popup showing the Sub On status, a bass level slider, and the Quiet Hours schedule from 22:00 to 05:00.
The whole app: sub status with a live countdown to the next change, level + EQ controls, and the quiet-hours schedule. Lives in your menu bar.

The problem this fixes

There are plenty of reasons to dial the sub down at night — neighbours through the wall, a partner who sleeps light, kids in the next room, a baby just put down. So you turn it off. Then you forget. A week later you realise every film has sounded thin and lifeless because the sub has been off the whole time.

Sonos doesn't offer scheduling for the sub. The official app lets you mute or unmute it, but there is no way to say 'off at 22:00, on at 09:00'. So either you remember every single night, or you accept the bass loss.

SubSnooze is the missing scheduler.

What it does

Everything you'd want for the bass-control problem, and nothing you wouldn't.

Quiet-hours scheduling

Set a start and end time. SubSnooze disables the sub at the start of quiet hours and re-enables it when they end — every night, automatically.

Full sub control

Toggle the sub on and off, change the level, enable Night Mode, and adjust EQ — all from a tray icon, no need to open the Sonos app.

Local-only, no cloud

SubSnooze talks directly to your Sonos speakers over your local Wi-Fi. No account, no internet, no telemetry. Your home stays your home.

Survives reboots

Schedules are persisted to a local database. Restart your computer or your phone, and the schedule keeps running. No 'oh no, did it actually disable last night' anxiety.

One-tap snooze

Need silence right now for a phone call or a sleeping baby? One tap and the sub goes off for a chosen duration, then turns itself back on.

Tray-first design

On Windows, macOS, and Linux it lives in the system tray / menu bar — out of the way until you need it. On iOS it's a small app with the same controls.

How it works

  1. 1

    Install and connect

    Open SubSnooze on the same Wi-Fi as your Sonos system. It discovers your speakers automatically — no setup, no codes, no cloud login.

  2. 2

    Set your quiet hours

    Pick a 'sub off' time and a 'sub on' time. That's the entire setup most people will ever do.

  3. 3

    Forget about it

    From then on, your sub turns off when the kids go to bed and turns back on for breakfast. You'll forget SubSnooze exists — and that's the point.

No tracking. No accounts. No data leaves your home.

SubSnooze has no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising, and no third-party SDKs. It only talks to Sonos speakers on your local network. The only data it stores is your schedule — on your device.
