@Vladimof thanks for your comment, it's an app for the deaf. Though a lidar object detection app for the blind would be awesome. Have you seen something like that already?

Great work! Thanks for sharing and making it Open Source!

Exactly, the app is a compliment to the native "Sound Recognition", they don't step on each other's toes. We don't 100% endorse that functionality because we don't want to be liable for inaccuracies or weakness

Thank you for your comment! Great question that I should have mentioned in my comment, if the app is open-source and free, we don't have ads, we collect no information, how do we make money? We are hoping to hit >10k active monthly

Hey Davide thank you for your comment! Currently it just helps you BeAware of all noises that hit the noise threshold (60-90 decibels) that you set on your phone. We want to use ML in the next version to allow users to select what sounds th
