Built to stay out of your way, until it shouldn't
Everything about the bar is designed for the middle of a match: you catch it in the corner of your eye, and it never takes anything from your game.
Never in the way
Clicks go straight through the bar, it can never take focus from your game, and it stays out of Alt-Tab. Put it anywhere, even on the taskbar.
Instant, at a glance
Green while you're calm, amber as you get close to your line, red and a little bigger the moment you're over it.
Your last red peak
When you've gone over, a needle and a readout show how far, then clear away after a time you choose. Calm moments are never shown.
A nudge, not a nag
Stay loud for more than a moment and a small breathe card slides in for a few seconds. A laugh doesn't count. It never makes a sound.
Loud the way ears hear it
Levels are A-weighted, like a dB(A) meter, so a high-pitched shout counts as loud as it sounds, not just as loud as its raw energy.
Private by design
No audio is ever recorded or stored, just how loud you were and when. No account, no uploads. Everything stays on your PC.
It only speaks up when you've been too loud
Talking calmly or getting close, the bar just shows your level. Go over your line and it grows and turns red, a needle marks how far you went, and if you stay loud a breathe card slides in.
- The readout shows your last red peak, never calm ones
- It clears itself after 1, 5, 10 or 15 minutes, or whenever you like
- Or show your calm streak beside the bar instead
Your line, from your own voice
Talk normally for ten seconds, then too loudly for five. Vocalm puts your line between the two, through your own microphone, so "too loud" means too loud for you.
- Measures what Discord actually sends (SteelSeries Sonar or any mic)
- Never sets your line so close that normal speech trips it
- Change it any time, against your live voice
