## What is SoundGuard?

SoundGuard turns your iPhone into a professional sound level meter with real-time decibel monitoring, background measurement, and deep Apple integration.

Whether you need to measure noise at work, document neighborhood disturbances, protect your hearing at concerts, or optimize your speaker setup, SoundGuard gives you instant, accurate dB readings with a beautiful interface.

MONITOR NOISE WITHOUT OPENING THE APP
Start a recording and go. SoundGuard keeps measuring sound levels in the background and updates your Dynamic Island, Lock Screen, and Home Screen Widget in real time. Check your dB from anywhere on your iPhone. No other decibel meter does this.

REAL-TIME SOUND MEASUREMENT
Measure sound levels in real time with a precision gauge. See current, minimum, average, and maximum decibel readings at a glance. Compare noise levels with real-world references like light rain, vacuum cleaners, or rock concerts.

APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION
Automatically record environmental noise exposure in the Health app to track your hearing health over time.

SESSION RECORDING & HISTORY
Record sound sessions and review detailed analytics with interactive charts. Track peaks above 85 dB and 100 dB danger thresholds. Export your data as CSV for documentation or professional use.

AI-POWERED SESSION SUMMARY
Get an intelligent summary of your recording session powered by on-device AI. Understand your noise exposure in plain language.

HAPTIC ALERTS
Feel a haptic vibration when noise crosses the 85 dB danger threshold. Your iPhone physically warns you when sound levels become harmful.

HOME SCREEN WIDGET
See your latest sound measurement at a glance with the Home Screen widget.

LIGHT & DARK MODE
A beautiful, native interface that adapts to your preferred appearance. Designed with SwiftUI for a smooth, responsive experience.
