👂
Welcome to Auris
Auris listens to the sounds around you and alerts you to the ones you might miss — doorbells, phones, smoke alarms, a crying baby, someone calling your name.
It runs entirely in your browser. Audio never leaves your device.
Built for deaf and hard-of-hearing users — and anyone who works with noise-cancelling headphones on.

Start listening
Click "Enable microphone" and grant permission. Auris will start classifying sounds in real time.
No microphone? Or want to test first? Click "Demo mode" to play built-in test sounds — no mic needed.

The status badge at the top turns green when listening.
🚨
How alerts work
Auris sorts sounds into three priority tiers:
- CRITICAL Smoke alarm, siren, glass breaking → full-screen red overlay + vibration. Impossible to miss.
- HIGH Doorbell, phone, baby crying, alarm clock → prominent toast + short vibration.
- NORMAL Knocking, dog barking → quiet toast.
Critical sounds use a low confidence threshold — better to false-alarm than miss a smoke alarm.
⭐
Teach it your sounds
Generic doorbells don't sound like yours. Record your own doorbell or your name in 5 seconds, and Auris learns to recognize your specific sound.
🔒
Only a 1024-number embedding vector is stored — never the audio itself.
Find the "Your own sounds" section after you start listening.
