## Description

Nora is a sound detection app built for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Whether you're at home, asleep, or out and about, Nora listens for the sounds that matter and alerts you instantly — so you never miss what's happening around you.

HOW IT WORKS
Nora uses Apple's on-device sound recognition to continuously monitor your surroundings. When it detects a sound you care about, it alerts you through a full-screen flash, vibration, and notification — all customisable to your needs.

WHAT NORA LISTENS FOR
• Doorbells, door knocks & intercoms
• Smoke alarms, fire alarms & CO detectors
• Phone ringing, alarm clocks & notifications
• Baby crying, dogs barking & people sounds
• Your name being called
• Emergency sirens & safety alerts
• 70+ sounds across 11 categories

SMART ALERTS
• Full-screen colour flash when a sound is detected
• Critical safety alerts stay on screen until you dismiss them
• Notification banners when you're using another app
• LED torch flash — works with the phone face-down
• Vibration patterns that vary by urgency
• Emergency contact texting for critical alerts

NAME DETECTION
Nora can listen for your name being called — ideal for busy households or noisy environments. Powered by Apple's speech recognition.

AMBIENT LISTENING SCREEN
A minimal dark screen that stays on quietly while Nora monitors — perfect for leaving on a table or nightstand. Non-critical detections appear briefly; critical alerts lock the screen until you tap.

FULLY CUSTOMISABLE
• Choose exactly which sounds to monitor
• One-tap presets: Home, Sleep, Work, Outdoors
• Adjust detection sensitivity
• Customise flash colour
• Set quiet hours to pause non-critical alerts

FREE, PRO & ELITE
Get started free with the most essential sounds. Upgrade to Pro for 50+ sounds across all categories, or go Elite to add wildlife safety alerts.

PRIVACY
All sound detection is on-device — no audio is ever recorded or sent anywhere. Name detection uses Apple's speech recognition service.
