A quieter way to know the birds outside.
ChirpSense is a small tabletop display that listens for the birds outside your window and names them, no phone or app involved.
Build log
- Registered chirpsense.com.
- First public site went up, with design renders of the enclosure.
- Pre-orders opened for the first batch.
- The prototype board joined Wi-Fi by listening to the setup song from a phone speaker. No typing, no app.
- Ship promise set: the first batch arrives before Christmas 2026, and every pre-order is refundable in full until it ships.
This log records completed product milestones. Microphone tuning remains in progress.
What works today, and what doesn't yet
Working on the bench: setup by birdsong on the real board, the bird classifier running on the board around the clock, and the display naming the species it hears from test recordings.
Still in testing: outdoor microphone gain and placement. The wood enclosure in the photos is a render; the production case follows microphone qualification. Independent field testing remains outstanding. Results will be published here when available.
The first batch is scheduled to arrive before Christmas 2026. If a shipped spec changes, this page and the product guide change with it.
