Cool Counter vs dB Meter

Cool Counter is the simplest and fastest way to count anything and track your progress toward a goal. With a clean, distraction-free design and seamless Apple Watch support, you can tap, feel, and stay focused anywhere. Get satisfying feedback with optional click sounds and haptics so every tap feels responsive and intentional.

No ads. No tracking. Ever. dB Meter is the professional sound level meter that protects your hearing — not your data. While other noise apps monetize you with ads and trackers, everything here runs on-device. Your audio is analyzed live on-device and never uploaded; optional Pro recordings stay on your device, under your control. MEASURE — REAL-TIME SOUND LEVEL METER A beautiful analog gauge with a live needle, color-coded safety zones and real-world comparisons like "Library quiet" or "Rock concert". Min, average and max readings at a glance, with haptic feedback as levels change. PROTECT — NIOSH-BASED NOISE DOSE dB Meter tracks your daily noise dose against the NIOSH recommended exposure limit (85 dBA over 8 hours). One glance tells you whether today's exposure is in the safe zone — and an alert warns you before your ears pay the price. UNDERSTAND — HISTORY & INSIGHTS Every measurement is saved automatically. Charts reveal your daily averages, exposure timeline against the 85 dB line, loudest days and category distribution — so you learn where your noise actually comes from.

WHY PRIVACY MATTERS Most sound meter apps are ad-funded, which means your microphone data feeds someone's ad business. dB Meter collects nothing: App Privacy label "Data Not Collected". Audio never leaves your device. That is a promise, not a setting. Built by an indie developer who cares about hearing health.
