What I Built

Dawn Chorus Pro is a lightweight tool for hikers and birdwatchers that gets you off your phone and into nature.

The Problem

When people go birdwatching, they stare at their screens trying to identify calls in real-time. This ruins the walk, drains phone battery, and sound classifiers often make mistakes (confusing wind or car horns with rare birds).

The Solution: "Touch Grass First, Check Later"

During the walk: Keep your phone in your pocket, record the morning bird sounds, and just enjoy the hike. #

After the walk: Upload your acoustic log (BirdNET CSV). #

Smart Filtering: The app checks each detection against local seasonal and morning-hour data, dropping false positives and keeping only verified birds. #

Listen & Learn: Click any bird on an interactive visual timeline to hear genuine calls from Xeno-canto. #

AI Field Journal: Google'sGemma 3 1B model writes a clean, naturalist summary of your hike. Screen time is kept to just1 minute after a 45-minute outdoor walk!
