HOW IT WORKS • Tap "Start Listening" and set a timer (5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes) • BeepDetect analyzes audio in real time using advanced frequency detection • The moment a chirp is detected, you get an alert with sound, vibration, and notification • Tap once to order a replacement battery — delivered to your door PERFECT FOR: • Homeowners tired of middle-of-the-night alarm hunts • Seniors and those with hearing difficulty • Landlords and property managers verifying alarm status • Anyone who wants peace of mind PRIVACY FIRST BeepDetect only listens when you start a session.
