Built to help you find calm in a loud world
Muffle measures real-time environmental noise, logs sensitivity episodes in seconds, tracks patterns over time, and provides personalized coping tools—all while guaranteeing 100% privacy.
Who Muffle Is Built For
Designed with care for sensitive misophonia, neurodivergent, and pain-sensitive minds
ADHD
Noise sensitivity is a common, widely discussed symptom that disrupts focus and executive function.
Autism
Sensory overload is a daily reality. Real-time meters and quiet safe spots help protect energy levels.
Migraines
Noise is a primary migraine trigger. Threshold alerts and delayed symptom tracking help identify pre-migraine exposure.
Misophonia
Specific sounds trigger intense emotional reactions. Episode logging captures exact contexts and sound types.
Anxiety
Crowded, noisy environments spike anxiety badly. Coping tools and safe place maps offer immediate grounding.

Live Noise Meter
Real-time decibel reading with instant visual feedback
Measures real-time environmental noise directly from your device microphone using a clean, animated circle gauge that reacts dynamically to surrounding sound levels.
Key Specs & Capabilities:
- ✦Real-time decibel (dB) reading from device microphone
- ✦Color-coded zones: Safe / Comfortable (Green), Moderate / Caution (Yellow), Danger Zone / High Exposure (Red)
- ✦Personalize custom dB ranges for each color zone to match your tolerance
- ✦Clear, readable numerical dB display on screen
- ✦100% privacy: reads sound level only — no audio is ever recorded or saved
Personal Threshold Setting
Context-aware trigger alerts tailored to your tolerance
Set your own personal trigger threshold so Muffle alerts you before sensory overload sets in. Tailor separate trigger levels for work, home, and public environments.
Key Specs & Capabilities:
- ✦Set custom dB trigger threshold (e.g. alert above 70 dB)
- ✦Separate threshold profiles for different contexts: Work, Home, Public
- ✦Duration tolerance setting before app reacts (30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes)
- ✦Helps prevent surprise sensory fatigue before it builds up
Episode Logging
Comprehensive exposure logs captured in under 20 seconds
Log every noise incident—manual or auto-triggered—with rich contextual data without interrupting your daily flow. Capture decibels, location, symptoms, and emotional state effortlessly.
Key Specs & Capabilities:
- ✦Captures Peak and Average dB levels during exposure
- ✦Exposure duration & auto-timestamping
- ✦Noise type selector: Crowd, Music, Construction, Traffic, Office Chatter, Appliance Hum
- ✦Physical symptoms: Headache, Ear Ringing, Nausea, Fatigue
- ✦Emotional state tags: Anxious, Overwhelmed, Irritable, Dissociated
- ✦1–5 tap severity rating & optional 1-line note
- ✦Optional automatic location tagging via GPS
Smart Auto-Logging
Background detection when noise stays above your threshold
When noise levels exceed your personal threshold for the set duration, Muffle silently records environmental metrics in the background and prompts a quick check-in.
Key Specs & Capabilities:
- ✦Silently logs dB level, location, and timestamp in background
- ✦Sends a gentle, non-intrusive notification asking how you feel
- ✦Saves environmental data as 'unchecked' for quick review later if unaddressed
- ✦Can be fully disabled—100% manual-only logging supported
Pattern Dashboard
Discover your hidden sensitivity trends after 2 weeks
Activated after approximately 2 weeks of logged data. Transforms individual episodes into clear, actionable intelligence about your noise environment and physical reactions.
Key Specs & Capabilities:
- ✦Worst time of day: identifies consistently difficult hours (e.g. 8–9am commute)
- ✦Worst day of week: highlights which days are consistently loudest
- ✦Worst noise types: ranked list of most triggering noise categories
- ✦Symptom correlations: e.g. 'Headaches follow episodes above 78 dB almost every time'
- ✦Weekly exposure trend comparison (improving or worsening)
- ✦Longest calm streak tracking (days without high-severity episodes)
Safe Places Map
Your private guide to quiet, comfortable local spots
Every location where you log a calm or positive experience is saved to build a personal, private map of quiet sanctuaries—cafés, parks, library corners, and quiet streets.
Key Specs & Capabilities:
- ✦Saves your quiet spots with recorded average dB level
- ✦Displays quietest time of day & your personal notes
- ✦Filter by quietest places, closest to current location, or most visited
- ✦100% private: never shared with third parties or crowd-sourced
Noise Forecast
Personalized predictions based on your historical data
Anticipate difficult sensory periods before they happen. Muffle analyzes your historical patterns to send gentle morning alerts on loud days so you can plan quiet breaks.
Key Specs & Capabilities:
- ✦Calculated 100% from your own historical data—no external APIs needed
- ✦Predicts upcoming difficult periods from personal routine patterns
- ✦Example alert: 'Tomorrow is Friday — your logs show Fridays are consistently loud. Consider planning a quiet break at 2pm.'
- ✦Delivered as a soft morning notification on relevant days
Delayed Symptom Tracker
Connect post-exposure reactions back to past noise incidents
Allows logging symptoms that appear hours after noise exposure rather than during. Muffle scans your recent history to pinpoint delayed physical triggers.
Key Specs & Capabilities:
- ✦Log symptoms whenever they hit: 'I have a migraine right now'
- ✦Scans the past few hours and links symptom to a preceding noise episode
- ✦Calculates your personal lag time: e.g. 'Your headaches typically appear 2 hours after exposure'
