Pipit: Private Sound Monitor

Pipit turns an iPhone or iPad into a private sound monitoring station for your home.

Using Apple’s on-device SoundAnalysis framework, Pipit listens for important sounds such as baby crying, doorbells, smoke alarms, sirens, glass breaking, dog barking, and more. When a sound is detected, Pipit saves it to your history so you can see what happened, when it happened, and which device detected it.

Designed for privacy, Pipit analyzes audio directly on your device. Audio is not uploaded to a server for detection, and your monitoring data stays under your control.

Use Pipit to: • Monitor important home sounds • Get alerts for baby crying, alarms, doorbells, and other key events • Repurpose an old iPhone or iPad as a dedicated sound monitor • Review detection history with confidence scores • Optionally save short audio clips for selected sounds • Sync detection history across your own devices with private iCloud sync • Trigger smart-home automations using webhooks • Connect workflows with tools like Home Assistant or Node-RED

Pipit is useful for parents, remote workers, people wearing noise-canceling headphones, deaf or hard-of-hearing users, and anyone who wants a private way to stay aware of important sounds at home.

Privacy-first by design: • On-device sound analysis • No cloud audio processing • No required account for local monitoring • Private iCloud sync when enabled • Client-side webhook support

Pipit is your private home sound monitor, built for modern iOS devices.
