A private listening tool in your pocket

super-hear boosts nearby sound in real time, lets you record what you hear with local transcripts, and includes Beat Detect for repeating low-frequency audio patterns.

Boost nearby sound

Adaptive audio processing brings quiet details forward while keeping everyday listening comfortable.

Personal EQ setup

A guided tone setup shapes the app's EQ for your own listening comfort. The profile stays on your device.

Mode-aware presets

Talk, Distant, Ambient, Beat Detect, and Custom modes each remember their own EQ, noise reduction, and boost settings.

Beat Detect

View repeating low-frequency audio patterns, compare detection methods, and save local summaries for recordings.

Local recordings & video

Capture audio plus a synced visualizer video. Both files live in your app's Documents folder and never leave the device unless you choose to share them.

On-device transcripts

Apple's Speech recognizer transcribes recordings with the on-device flag set — audio never travels to Apple's servers for transcription.

Everything stays on your device

No accounts. No analytics SDKs. No ad SDKs. No server.

Live mic audio is processed in real-time and discarded. Recordings, transcripts, personal EQ profiles, and settings live only on your iPhone — and travel only to your own iCloud Backup, never to us. super-hear ships with no third-party tracking, no advertising SDK, and no server-side component.
